The Winner of the 2024 Hall of Fame Award is: Mike Mercer
Without a doubt, Mike has achieved greatness in almost everything he has touched since starting work at the Fly Shop in Redding, CA back in 1978. He was the first employee! His many fly pattern creations are some of the best ever, and most of us fish his flies every year. Beyond that, he’s become the go-to-guy for great destination fishing anywhere in the world.
Many of us grew up on Mike’s regular articles in Fly Fisherman and throughout the fly fishing arena. His love of fly tying culminated in the 2005 best-selling book, Creative Fly Tying, in which he guides the reader through his most famous patterns, as well as his approach to creating new patterns. Besides all that, he is simply the nicest fellow on the planet!
