New Dr. Slick Products for 2006

Where does “Dr. Slick” get most of his product design ideas? From the operating room. Dr. Slick is actually Dr. Kenneth A. High, a Montana surgeon. According to the announcement for next year’s new products, “New fly-fishing and fly-tying tools were designed, tested, deconstructed and re-manufactured to attain the new line of instruments, according to Dr. Kenneth A. High, president. The products have been ‘in the works’ for about 18 months.”
