Dandy Reiner has tied a lot of flies for us. Dandy owns Hatch Finders Fly shop (https://www.hatchfinders.com/) in Livingston, MT. She learned the art of fly tying from her father Dean, another of our favorites. Today she is tying a Double Beaded Stonefly Nymph pattern for us. She and her father Dean Reiner, tie almost all the flies in their shop. They focus on fly patterns that work on the nearby Yellowstone River and Yellowstone National Park.
