David Nelson is a respected angler and fly tyer best known for his unique marriage of squid, shrimp, and baitfish design principles in his Squimpish fly concept. The Squimpish fly led to innovations in synthetic fibers and materials that have been incorporated into a wide variety of patterns and are now used by tiers around the world. His tying work has appeared in print and at major fly shows, and he champions creative, movement-rich patterns that perform across saltwater species. David will demonstrate how to tie with his revolutionary materials, and share insights into saltwater streamer design and tying philosophy, unpacking what makes a pattern effective in a variety of fishing environments and conditions.
