Fly & Art Mounting & Framing:

To select a custom made fly plate to your specifications:

1. Again, it's easiest if you call me personally so we can discuss in detail what you have in mind, your budget, etc., and we can come up with an idea over the phone. Then I can take our ideas and jot down a design idea for your approval. Keep in mind which type of fly-fishing to be featured (trout, steelhead, or salmon).

2. Decide on a fly plate with just flies, or with angling art or photo to be included.  You can send your art to be framed, or if looking for angling art, a good contact is Tim or Helen Pinson at Angler Art Gallery, 201 Fillmore St., Denver (303) 333-6700. (www.anglerart.com)  They represent the finest angling artists in the country, and have prints, lithographs, and original art for sale.  Or if you prefer, we can contact the gallery and select an appropriate art work for your fly plate.

3. Select style of flies, how many, and which patterns.

4.  Send inquiry, and a quote will be returned.

5. Custom orders require use of a credit card (Visa/MC), with a $100 deposit charged at time of order, with the balance along with actual shipping via Fedex Ground or Air, your choice, charged on ship date. Custom orders are non-refundable/returnable.
