This beautiful fly, the Native Sun, was specially designed for the Native Fish Society by Kevin W. Erickson, well known local fly fisherman, craftsman and photographer. He also hand-tied and photographed it as part of a special offering for the Society. The mounted fly and 11”x14” photograph is available framed 16”x20” for $250.00
Kevin is also a dedicated conservationist and he will donate 50% of the net proceeds to the Native Fish Society from each Native Sun Photo Fly Plate sold. You can learn more about Kevin and his work, and order this NFS Photo Fly Plate and other custom made flies at his website:
