Folks: I saw where Lord Byron Nelson passed away today (yesterday now) at 94 (one site I read said he was 95 so I'm not sure). Many would consider him the all time greatest golfers with 18 wins with 11 consecutive wins in 1945..That got me to thinking.. We have some great and long time tiers here. Who would ya'll say is the best ever fly tier??? I know I'll probably get as many answers as I get replies LOL, but I just wondered if there is somebody that stands out in many minds??? Or how bout , who was/is the greatest fly fisherman/woman Chuck
Chuck,
Interesting.. we had a similar discussion recently about what constitutes a 'Master' of Fly Tying.
Without having read the rest of the replies yet (and I look forward to reading them), my vote internationally
would likely go with Poul Jorgenson. http://forum.nlft.org/index.php?showtopic=690&hl=poul And... locally... would be the late Roman Sharabun. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/cnangler/html/roman.htm http://forum.nlft.org/index.php?showtopic=863&hl=poul http://ranger-bob.net/RomanS.html (My tribute own page posted here).
