Tom Ukena is the Linehan Outfitting chief fly tying officer.  He started fly fishing twenty five years ago.  Shortly after that he made the leap to tying flies and has never looked back.  He fishes a dry fly as well as anyone, supplies Linehan Outfitting with tons of patterns from across the spectrum and is passionate about learning new techniques every time he sits down at his desk.  He's responsible for some unique patterns most notably the Kootenai Hellboy Hopper.
