Peter Steen ties a lot of nice flies. These two Caddis Emergers caught my eye in his Instagram feed, so I wanted to highlight them here. If you want to follow Peter, he is on Instagram @fly_fishing_pete

I save every email I get from your site. I’m a disabled veteran and love fly tying. I’m in the process of opening an online store to supplement my VA income, and I’m doing a lot of house repairs. But as soon as I get a little stair time, I want to learn some of these patterns. Keep them coming. Thank you!
Hi Charlie,
That is awesome to hear! I will be looking forward to it. Thank you for reading FrankenFly and thank you for your service!
