Tom Corbiere
I have been tying for 50 years. I have tied all types of dry, nymph and
streamer flies. After moving to Oregon
14 years ago, I concentrated on tying Steelhead patterns. Over the past several years I have
demonstrated fly tying at events across the country. Recently I have been tying Classic Atlantic
Salmon Flies. I have been studying the
masters such as William Blacker, Major Trahane and George Kelson.
