About Me
 
Hello, my name is Dustin Driscoll. I live in Michigan, one of the nicest states in the whole U.S. of A.,near Holland, home of the large annual tulip festival (A.K.A. Tulip Time). The winters though are nothing to stick around for, what good are they when you can't fish? I have been tying flies since about 2003, it has become a large part of my life, I have no notion of what I would do without it.  I tie mostly classic style salmon flies, artistic salmon flies, I also really enjoy tying classic bass flies (M.O.M.(Mary Orvis Marbury)) and spun and stacked deer hair flies, and though I was once very involved in realistics I now dabble in that realm only every once in a while. I don't get fishing as much as I would like to, but I do get out every once in a while.
