Meet Michael McFarland: Our 2nd Out Of 5 Fly Tyers


Michael McFarland

Michael McFarland is one of our Zen Certified Tenkara Guides and he’s also our Signature Fly Designer.Michael moved to Denver, Colorado about 10 years ago and really gravitated toward the Tenkara-style of fly fishing while routinely taking overnight camping trips in Rocky Mountain National Park. He’s spent a great deal of time adapting various fly patterns to this method in order to add a little creativity to what most consider the traditional sakasa kebari. It’s a tendency that has proven both productive and interesting at the same time. Michael was a featured fly tyer at the 2015 Tenkara Winter Series and will be back again on March 12th. He’d love to answer any questions you may have about tying or tenkara.
