It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Randall Kaufmann in the world of fly fishing. He is the creator of so many critical flies that belong in every angler's fly box. It's an honor to offer Randall and Mary's book Fly Patterns: Tie Thousands of Flies, along with six flies tied by Randall specifically for the Reeling in Serenity auction. Randall and Mary Kaufmann have traveled the fly fishing world for 35 years seeking wilderness adventures. Their travels have taken them from Alaska’s Arctic Circle to tropical bonefish flats, the pristine waters of New Zealand’s southern Alps, and to remote golden trout waters in the high Sierra. Randall Kaufmann has been a leading authority on flies, fly tying, and flyfishing for over 50 years.
