Vladimir Markov

I just got done reading an old copy of Flyfishing & Tying Journal from Amato Publications. I am not sure if it is in print anymore but it would be sad if it weren't. They had a scud & shrimp tying contest and had printed the patterns of the winners in the back. This Markov is from Irkutsk, Russia which is on the Pacific Coast of Russia. The ultimate destination for me. Belize is cool for saltwater fishing, but I really enjoy anadromous fish and the huge trout that clean up after them.
Anyway, when I get over there I am looking up the Markov's. You can tell from their intricate patterns that they are truly inflicted with the essence of fishing with a fly. My kind of people.
