I started tying flies in 1999 after meeting my husband, Chris Reeves – he kept going to all these fly-tying fairs and whenever he wandered off, I'd tie the flies he was tying or that I had seen being tied around me. I like tying new patterns, trying different materials and techniques, but regularly find myself drifting back to natural materials. At the moment, I'm exploring new and old different patterns that make use of pheasant feathers, or where pheasant feathers would make an interesting alternative
