My name is Braden Miller; I am 17 years old and have been tying flies and fly fishing since I was eight. I taught myself to cast a fly rod given to me in my backyard. Catching my first fish on my fly rod was a day I will never forget. I learned to tie flies first, by the intro book that came with my vise kit, and then I moved on to videos on Youtube and Instagram; I was and will continue to be eager to learn. Some of the great tyers I watched and learned a lot from were Blane Chocklett, Bob Popovics, Brian Wise from Fly Fishing the Ozarks, Gunnar Brammer, Kelly Galloup, and Mike Shultz. My favorite flies to tie are large articulated streamers. I can tie the smaller type of flies, but the smallest fly I prefer to tie is a micro-game changer. I will be on Tiers Row at several shows tying and selling flies, and sometimes, you can find me in the Temple Fork Outfitters booth.
