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.
New posting of his Fan Wing Coachman
He’s a pretty fair photographer also.
And uses interesting hooks

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.

Pretty neat stuff. Both the tying and the photography.
He has new ones each day. Of course, there are many other tiers producing superb Flies, but selected some of his to show
One he just posted of a Nymph he tied
