Bill Parker

ParkerFlies.com is owned and operated by Bill Parker (with a little help from his wife). He's one of those obsessive types who loves learning, and gets consumed by his hobbies.

He tries to go fly fishing once a week if possible, or maybe more , when he can find the time. He enjoys sharing this hobbie with others, and gives away lots of flies to curious on-lookers, especially children.

You may find him fly fishing at Holmes Lake in Lincoln Nebraska, at any time throughout the year, as long as there's a patch of unfrozen water.

He has introduced quite a few of his friends, family and coworkers to the fun of fly fishing, and is always willing to share something about it with anyone he meets at the lake. The enthusiasm of his friends is what encouraged him to begin selling his flies on eBay. This is where Parker Flies began.

His flies sold so well on eBay that he decided to open an online 'fly shop' to allow non-eBayers access to his creations.

He lives in Lincoln, Nebraska but was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and he visits his family there every year.

He speaks Spanish and French fluently, and has been playing classical piano for nearly 25 years. He especially enjoys helping others learn about the Bible and attends a Spanish speaking congregation in north Lincoln

If you see him out fishing, stop and say hello (he has lost weight since the photo above was taken. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and has been losing weight to improve his health).

If you are curious about fly fishing or the Bible, feel free to ask him any questions.
