BIO
Mike has been tying flies since his teenage years, driven by a simple yet powerful inspiration: the desire to catch fish on something crafted by his own hands. What began as a personal challenge evolved into a full-fledged passion—and since 2022, Mike has been tying commercially for anglers across the world, from Montana to England.
Specializing in trout, salmon, and striped bass patterns, Mike is known for his attention to detail and his ability to match the right fly to the right water. His signature creations include big, articulated streamers designed to tempt trophy brown trout during night fishing missions—one of his personal favorite pursuits.
Operating under the name Northumberland Flies, Mike has built a strong following on Instagram (@northumberland_flies), where he shares his latest patterns and fills custom orders for a growing base of loyal customers. Whether you’re hunting aggressive browns after dark or swinging for salmon in cold rivers, Mike’s flies are built to perform and inspire confidence with every cast.
