2018 PHWFF Fly Plate by Steve Jensen - Steve, a famous maker of fly plates, created this piece that showcases the winning flies tied from PHWFF's disabled veterans and disabled active military personnel during the national fly tying competition along with their picture and name.

Steve enlisted in the United States Army Reserves in 1974 and retired in 1994 as a Lieutenant Colonel. In December 1990 through May 1991, Steve served in Saudi Arabia and Iraq as a Preventive Medicine Entomologist during Operation Desert Storm/Shield.

In 1986 Steve became interested in fly plate design and construction through a class offered by the late Darwin Atkin through the Federation of Fly Fishers (now Fly Fishers International) at their annual show. He worked with Darwin until 2000 when Darwin retired from framing and has been framing for the FFI since that time. It is estimated that Steve's efforts in designing and building fly plates, including the time that he collaborated with Darwin, has resulted in sales approximating $300,000 in revenue for FFI. Steve is a life member of both the FFI and the FFI's Fly Tying Group. He is a Board member of the latter group.

The framed plate measures 18.5" x 32.5".
