Fishermen in general, and fly fishermen in particular, have a reputation for keeping information fairly close to the vest, no pun intended. Tim, however, is not one of them. Whether at a fly fishing show, a Trout Unlimited presentation, in a YouTube video, or fishing with him on the stream, hes always willing to share what he knows. Hailing from Central Pennsylvania, you get the feeling that fly fishings in his blood. The experience and information Tim has gained from fishing there and destinations near and far is absolutely invaluable.

Tim Cammisa is a natural and enthusiastic educator. As a sixth-grade math teacher, he knows how to engage a reticent audience and make learning difficult and/or tedious subjects fun. When he turned to making fly-tying tutorials on YouTube, his videos became instant hits that taught new patterns to longtime fly tiers and brought new tiers into the fold. In Fly Tying for Everyone Tim translates the effectiveness of his videos into a written format that is fun and easy to learn from. Its pages will help you tie contemporary patterns which have proven effective from the local brook to hard-fished tailwaters.

His many "Trout & Feather" tutorials on YouTube have helped countless fly tiers, both those new to the craft and the experienced.
