Eugene Borovin contacted me and showed me this beautiful fly he tied. So I had him send over a step-by-step so I could post it here on FrankenFly.
Eugene says, “I’m a non-professional fly tier and fly fisherman from Russia and my Instagram page is @flyfishing_flies.”
I have been following Eugene’s Instagram and it is worth the follow. He ties some awesome flies!
