The People Behind The Vise

Across the fly fishing world there are anglers who don’t just fish flies - they create them.

Commercial tyers filling fly bins for shops.
Guides tying late at night for tomorrow’s clients.
Shop employees helping customers understand which hook matters and why.
Teachers and instructors passing the craft to the next generation.

These are the people who keep fly tying alive.

The Firehole Professional Tyer Program exists to support them.

Many of the tyers in this program go on to collaborate with Firehole on patterns, product feedback, and features that help advance the craft.

Why We Built This Program

Fly tying sits at the center of fly fishing.

Every fly that catches a fish begins at a vise somewhere - tied by someone who understands the craft.

The Firehole Professional Tyer Program exists to support the people who spend the most time doing that work.

Not influencers.
Not casual hobbyists.

Working tyers.

Who the Program Is For

The Firehole Professional Tyer Program is designed for individuals actively working within the sport.

Examples include:

• Commercial tyers producing flies for shops, clients, or production
• Professional guides tying flies for client use or resale
• Fly shop employees who actively use and recommend Firehole
• Instructors, competitive anglers, and other industry professionals involved in the sport
