Welcome to another edition of Talk & Tie Tuesday! We're thrilled to be joined in the studio this week by Bill Dombroski — a standout guide from the Trout Trickers crew! Bill shares his personal journey into the art of fly tying and guiding, and ties a fly that holds deep meaning. This week's featured pattern is a tribute to his late friend, fellow guide, and accomplished angler, Scott Thompson. Scott was a Signature Tyer for Fulling Mill and the creator of the Lil Foamy — a true game-changer and one of the most productive flies in Bill’s guide box.
