Don Ordes

Please let me introduce myself.  My name is Don Ordes, and I reside in Casper, Wyoming.  I’m originally from New Orleans, where I grew up loving to hunt, fish, and trap. At the age of 10, I read an article in Field and Stream about fly tying. New Orleans was not a fly fishing town 40 years ago, so help, materials, and tools were impossible to come by for a 10-year-old. The article was about mayflies, and I was so intrigued that I grabbed my mom’s sewing scissors and some thread, robbed some feathers from my pillow, and without vice or tools, tried as hard as I could to imitate that fly on a small saltwater hook, tying with my bare hands.
