Searching for fly tiers in western US

Recommended Posts

On my blog I am highlighting fly tiers everywhere, but I'm not aware of very many in the western part of the United States. I know there are a lot of talented individuals over that way, I'm just not having any luck finding them so far. So I wondered if you guys could help me with some names?

Hopefully I'll be able to find contact information from that point.

Yes, anywhere over there. Montana, Wyoming, etc. Right now I have a good list of tiers in the Midwest. Actually, I could use more in the south too, now that I think about it.
