My colleague Chuck Echer began his fly tying career at the age of seven in 1948.
He has been actively teaching fly fishing and fly tying classes and seminars since 
1978 in the San Francisco bay  area, Sacramento, and northern California.  
He has literally taught thousands of students the art of fly tying and fly fishing.  
Chuck has demonstrated his fly tying skills Internationally at Fly Fair in Holland, 
Chatsworth Angling Fair in England, and at FFF in Calgary, Canada. He has also 
demonstrated his fly tying skills at major U.S. national sports expositions, fly fishing 
clubs and appeared as a keynote speaker at many prestigious club events from coast 
to coast. Chuck was the 1993 recipient of the FFF Buz Buszek memorial fly tying 
award.  Chuck has also set two IGFA fly rod line class world records set 
in 1990 and 1991. He has fly fished Alaska, New England, Canada, western United 
States, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica and England. 
He is a fly tying veteran for freshwater as well as Saltwater.  He predominately ties
trout flies but enjoys tying everything from midges to sailfish flies. 
I am happy to have Chuck on my site. Enjoy his work !
