Louis DiGena – The Art of Fly Tying

Fly Fishing Journeys

Lou DiGena is an accomplished fly tier from New Jersey. He’s an extraordinary guy. We dive deep into fly tying, photography, digital media, and fine art. As I learned on this podcast, he is a professor of fine art and digital media at St John University.

I don’t think either of us thought we were going down the art rabbit hole but that is the fun part of podcasts, learning about your guests as a person and their expertise. It clear Lou is an artist, both behind the vise, behind the lens and in various other art mediums.

He stresses the idea of observation both in art and on the water and how focused observation will make you a better fly tier and fly fisherman.

We close with some of Lou’s best tips for improving your fly tying and his favorite flies, dry, nymph and streamer. Stay tuned…
