Her inherited interest in Maine tradition and history is evident in her original fly designs which have become her signature in the fly-tying community. Her great-great-great-grandfather was Joshua Gross Rich, one of Mainea s earliest and most prominent outdoor sporting pioneers of the famed Rangeley Lakes region. Sharon loves to share her passion for tying classic patterns and their histories, which has evolved into presentations, shows, and classes throughout the country. Her work reflects her heritage, the region, and her family history and has appeared in nationaland international publications."

Sharon E. Wright has left no stone unturned in her Tying Heritage Featherwing Streamers. The photography is simply breathtaking, the history is a pleasant read that enlightened me, and the list of patterns and tying steps could keep a tier busy forever. I've had the opportunity to meet and get to know many fly tiers over the years with my International Fly Tying Symposium and Fly Fishing Shows. Sharon joined us not long ago and has immediately become a favourite for many attendees. Not only is her tying table like an artist's canvas, colourful and meticulously organised, she loves to share her knowledge of tying. So now Sharon is an author. I'm so happy for her, because her effort in writing her book demonstrates the same attention to detail as her tying, her table displays at the shows, and her rapport with show customers. Tying Heritage Featherwing Streamers is definitely in an elite category of its own and a centrepiece in any person's library.
