Fly & Art Mounting & Framing:

To select a custom made fly plate to your specifications:

1. It's easiest if you call first 719-646-Zero-One-Five-Seven so we can discuss what you have in mind, and we can come up with a general idea over the phone. It is simply not possible to go back and forth via e-mails with generalizations; I need to speak with you in person first, so please have a good idea of what you would like framed. Jot down a sketch if possible (very helpful), or at least have a list of everything you want framed.

Then I can sit down and come up with a general design, and get back to you for approval. Keep in mind which type of fly-fishing to be featured (trout, steelhead, or salmon), how many flies you have, art, signature cards by the flytier, etc.

2. Decide on a fly plate with just flies, or with angling art or photo to be included, which you will ship here before the job begins.

3. Select style of flies, how many, and which patterns.

4.  Send inquiry, and a quote will be returned.

5. Custom orders require a $75 deposit, with the balance along with actual shipping via Fedex Ground or Air, your choice at shipping time. Custom orders are non-refundable/returnable unless an error is made at this end on the workmanship.

2.) Flies: (if purchased). Cost varies per fly, please inquire. Sorry, Victorian full dress salmon flies are no longer available.
