Jewelry-Quality Salmon Flies by Shawn Davis
Introduction: I blend the classic arts of goldsmithing and flytying to create truly unique jewelry art. I handfashion hooks from solid 18K gold, and then dress them with the finest materials in the world. The resulting flies are either displayed in handblown glass domes or worn as fine jewelry. Gallery
My work has been well received, having been featured in flyfishing magazines American Angler and The Drake as well as the jewelry arts magazine Adornment.
All of my flies are available for purchase and are released in serially numbered Limited Editions. Only twenty-five of each pattern will be made before the Editions are closed. I also make custom hooks for hook collectors and elite flytiers.
Additionally, all photographs of my flies are available for purchase, professionally printed, matted, and framed. The largest prints, 10" x 15", are serially numbered Limited Edition prints. Details may be found in the Photography section.
New Section: I have just added a new section to my site which I call What's New. It is less formal than the rest of my site and more frequently updated. In it, I share my latest projects and musings, not just surrounding artistic flytying but practical flytying and flyfishing as well.
I hope you enjoy viewing my flies as much as I enjoy creating them.

Sign Up for Notification of Newly Released Patterns:
It takes me a long time to develop a new fly pattern, so I anticipate releasing new patterns for sale at most a few times per year. If you would like me to send you an email notification when I release a new pattern, please contact me at davis@davisflydesigns.com. I can, of course, take you off my mailing list if you decide you want to stop receiving notifications, but, again, notifications would only come a few times per year. You would certainly never receive anything from me of the junk-mail variety.
