Kurt Vest
Signature Tyer
Kurt Vest is a board-certified pediatric dentist by day, helping kids keep their smiles healthy. But when he's off the clock, he's often thinking about trout instead of teeth. A lifelong fly fisherman, Kurt has spent over 30 years tying his own flies and testing them on the water.
His time at the vise is shaped by what he observes out on the river, and he's always tweaking his patterns to see what works best. For Kurt, the challenge of getting a trout to eat something he's tied by hand is just as exciting now as it was when he first started.
