Nestor is a long time resident of Sweden .  He learned to fly fish and tie flies about 10 years ago.  At first, he only tied trout flies for himself, friends, and some fishing shops in Sweden.  Now, he mostly ties hair wing salmon flies, especially tube flies, using mostly fox and bear.  He has a business in the Philippines where he raises guinea, turkey, and golden pheasants for the feathers but purchase the rest mostly from the United States.  He teaches interested people to tie, especially using the weaving method, whenever he can.

Nestor has won many awards for his talent.  Most recently he won first place in the Trout Unlimited's "Hair Wings Atlantic Salmon" fly tying contest in Reno Nevada last year.  In his own words... "I am still learning, I read books, learn from old timers, and practice when ever I have time."  Like many excellent tiers, he's never satisfied and continues to work toward improving his skills.  

Note by Ed Gallop:  I've had the opportunity to handle Nestor's flies up close while photographing them and can attest to his talent.  They are some of the best tied flies I've ever seen and we are fortunate to have him participate on this site.  I'm honored to know him.
