JOHN ROHMER

John Rohmer has been fishing the streams and lakes of the high county for 40 years. He divides his time between his fly tying materials business, guiding for smallmouth bass in Arizona's high mountain lakes, and his responsibilities as co-owner of the pro shop Arizona Flyfishing in Tempe.

Simi Seal is the exclusive material used to tie the world-famous Simi Seal Leech. This material can also be used in a variety of dubbing applications, from nymph patterns to medium-sized streamers. The coarse fibers produce a bushy dubbing that can be used to build large bodies, or it can be vigorously brushed out and trimmed or left long.
