T.F.M. Custom Leather Fly Wallet

Over the past several months Marc Crapo, of www.flywallet.com, and I have been working on an upcoming project for the Fiberglass Flyrodders website. It didn't take to long before my mind was scheming that I just had to have a T.F.M. fly wallet made for salmon and steelhead flies. Marc got to work and a few weeks later a FedEx box was waiting for me on the door step.


Marc's wallets are nothing short of a piece of angling artwork that you can carry in your wader pocket or vest. Full grain cowhide is a fitting and long lasting canvas and the dense Sherling will hold flies in their place. The bone and horn buttons used by Marc are strikingly unique and really make these wallets something special.

The inspiration for the artwork on this fly wallet came from a spey fly tied by Scott Behn, harleydeen, that he posted on the Fiberglass Flyrodders website. Recently Scott sent the spey fly to me and it now fittingly rests in the T.F.M. fly wallet.

Check out Marc Crapo's website, www.flywallets.com, and contact him if you are interested in having a custom leather fly wallet done for yourself.

(UPDATE! Marc emailed me yesterday to let all the blog readers know that if you mention "THE FIBERGLASS MANIFESTO" or "FIBERGLASS FLYRODDERS" that you'll receive 40% off the retail price for your custom leather wallet order. This is a very generous offer and I certainly hope a few of you take him up on this.)
