    Default Some great tiers out there

    A while back, I somehow stumbled upon a Facebook group called ?fly tiers anonymous ? (I believe).

    The group has beginners as well as some terribly great tiers .

    Here’s just one example from a fellow in Indiana. He ties some really beautiful flies.






    Another of his:

    It is Son Tao. Meet him at Sowbug last year.
    He has been tying for about 14 months.

    Yes, it is. It is interesting how well he ties in such a short order. He also posts pictures of very large fish. Not just a tier. He is a successful fisherman too.

    Son Tao used to post on a FB tiers' page, but now uses Instagram. Been following him for some time. A hell of a tier! And he's currently U.S. Army, I believe.

    As I mentioned, he’s posting on a Facebook group I belong to.
    He’s not the only Great tier there.

    I wish he, and others like him, would post here as well.
