The Trout Conjurer

This channel is about Fly Tying , but in particular, reviving old flies from the past and breathing new life into them. It's been a passion of mine to reintroduce myself and others with lost fly patterns and techniques; rediscovering their effectiveness and fun. 

As for the Trout Conjurer name and logo, there are two reasons for it. My ancestry on my fathers side is mostly Native Central American, so I have a passion for that art style. 

The second detail is that the Mayan Hieroglyph word for 'conjuring', is the image of a hand grasping a fish. It only made sense to me why the Mayans would choose to use this image for 'conjuring', because I see fly fishing in the same way. 

At the risk of being overly romantic about it, the flies are the prepared instruments, the presentation is the ceremony, and the fish that seemingly appears from nowhere is the conjured magic.
