Lionheart is an original pattern from Joe Gablick. It is one of several that he has ingeniously designed with a "University" theme.

Joe, who is from Lower Burrell, Pa. has been tying for about 30 years. He conducts a flyfishing school that emphasizes relaxation, casting, and enjoying nature's surroundings. Take a moment to visit his website, The Contented Angler.
