"Treasure of Idaho" - The Flies of Dr. David Burns

Dr. David Burns, Master Fly Tyer, conservationist, and fly fisherman, is currently enjoying his time in retirement after serving a distinguished career as an educator, a 3 year stint with the Washington Department of Game, and 30 years as a fisheries biologist with the USDA-Forest Service. During that time he has written, published, or presented many professional reports and papers dealing with fisheries science and conservation and has been an active member of several professional organizations. Dr. Burns has won numerous fly tying awards and competitions over the years and received coverage in many magazine articles and books.

For now take a few moments to view this beautiful new original "Treasure of Idaho", which he says was  inspired by Ken Sawada's Treasure of Indies. This is the next in the series benefiting the Shepherd's Home, a safe house for children. Last year's fly was McCall's Special.
