Peggy, thanks for passing this along. I'm sad to hear that Mike passed. He was a huge inspiration to me and many other tyers who tied featherwing streamers. He self-published 2 books of streamer flies, mostly ones he designed as well as some that his friends had created. They are tough to find, Mike used to sell these at the shows he tied at. He also did a couple of videos with the Hooked on Fly Tying production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsZovFwyuQ4
