Collection: SWVA Fly Tying - Josh Fleenor

Josh Fleenor, from Blacksburg, Virginia, has been tying flies for around seven years but has been an angler his entire life. He works as a history teacher and also coaches football and track at a local high school. Chasing smallmouth bass has always been one of his biggest passions. Much of his tying inspiration comes from his background fishing with soft plastics and bass jigs, and he continually seeks to emulate the innovation of anglers like the team at Schultz Outfitters and Blane Chocklett. Josh’s goal is to grow his page while creating supplemental income alongside his teaching and coaching career. He looks forward to connecting with and learning from the many talented streamer tiers and fishermen in the community.
