Inside the Mind of a Master Bugmaker: Michael Wenzel on Realistic Fly Tying
Jun 12, 2025

I had the chance to catch up with Michael Wenzel, one of the most dialed-in bugmakers in the game, whose flies are more art than imitation. We swapped stories about early fish, what makes a pattern work (or not), and how he’s managed to blend a lifetime of passion with patience, skill, and a deep respect for the craft. This isn’t just about tying flies—it’s about seeing the world through a trout’s eyes and building something beautiful one wrap at a time. Here's how Michael got his start, why realism matters, and the kind of dedication it takes to make a mayfly look like it’s about to take off.

There’s a certain kind of strength that shows up when life hits hardest—and that’s exactly what we saw in Blake Glover, better known in our world as The Fly Tying Cowboy. I had the chance to sit down with Blake and hear how he turned unimaginable heartbreak into a fire that fuels his passion for fly tying. From that first Walmart fly rod to pro staff roles with Daiichi, Veevus, and The Fly Hair Co., Blake’s journey is raw, real, and deeply rooted in tradition. We caught up with him to talk about the patterns he loves, the gear he trusts, and the purpose that keeps him tying flies day after day. This one’s about resilience, legacy, and the healing power of thread and feather.

We caught up with Zach, better known online for his razor-sharp stillwater patterns and deep knowledge of lake entomology, during a stretch of calm mornings and hungry rainbows out in Kelowna, B.C. As someone who’s spent more than a few dawns watching chironomids rise and rods bend, I was stoked to sit down with a fellow lake junkie who lives and breathes fly tying. Zach broke down his process, shared his go-to tactics for consistent success on stillwaters, and offered a few tips every new fly tier should hear.
