Helping anglers tie better flies and catch more fish

If you want fly patterns that actually catch fish and guides that help you tie them right the first time, you’re in the right place.

I’ve been tying flies since I was eleven, and over the years I’ve learned that success on the water starts at the vise. That’s why I share clear, practical instructions, expert tips, and step-by-step guides for both beginners and experienced anglers.

I’ve been tying flies commercially since I was 12 years old, and over the years that passion turned into a life spent on the water. From guiding anglers in Alaska to teaching fly tying most of my adult life, I’ve always loved helping people learn, improve, and enjoy the process.

That’s what TFG Flies is all about. It’s a place to learn at your own pace, tie flies that actually work, and gain the confidence to fish them well. No fluff—just clear guidance, proven patterns, and a shared love for fly fishing.
