TIM BORSKI
|
Tim Borski, 60, had humble beginnings in Stevens Point, Wis., and was basically on his own at age 17. Freezing in unheated cabins through several winters but enjoying ice fishing, friends and the folly of youth, Borski later moved to Miami at age 23 and to the Florida Keys shortly after that.
In the Keys, his propensity for recreating on canvas things he held dear in nature blossomed. Through fortunate circumstances, such as becoming a caretaker on Craig Key, he was able to develop as an artist without much concern for earning a living. A following for his watercolor paintings arose. With tournaments clamoring for his art as awards for the successful anglers, he was able to sustain himself as an artist and maybe more importantly, an individual. |
In the fly tying world Borski has become a familiar name by creating such patterns as the Bonefish slider, Craft fur shrimp, Green Zima, Chernobyl crab and a bunch more. All his ties have a reputation for being suggestive, highly versatile and fishy.
Borski works predominantly in Acrylics and Oils but throws in the occasional Watercolor when the mood suits him.
Tim is also an entertaining writer as well and enjoys the meet and greet of an occasional speaking engagement/fly tying seminar.
Thus far in 2021, Tim has been featured in the new Bonefish & Tarpon Trust Journal, Tail Fly Fishing Magazine and Mill House Podcast episode 37.
Tim also has begun hosting small groups on fishing and critter-watching junkets to southwest Mexico. These trips to Mexico’s uncrowded Old World side have been well-received and justifiably so.
2022 promises to be a productive and entertaining year in Borski’s world so feel free to tag along. He can be found virtually on Facebook and Instagram.
