Spencer Seim

Spencer Seim is the owner of ZiaFly in Taos, NM. Spencer has been fly fishing since age 8 and tying flies since age 12. Guiding in the area for the last 20 years, he's passionate about introducing anglers to the magic of the southern Rockies. As a fly tyer, Spencer's creations are designed to catch even the most finicky of fish. As a fly fishing history buff, he's focused many of his tying endeavors on the classic salmon flies that were very popular in the Victorian era. It was through this passion that he learned about the interesting world of the feather trade, which helped to initiate the bestselling book entitled "The Feather Thief" written by Kirk W Johnson. Spencer is also known to make his own hooks from scratch and prefers to tie "in hand" to honor the old traditions of fly tying. Spencer lives in Taos, NM with his wife Sophia, daughter Olivia, and son Ivo.

Spencer also spends his time visiting book clubs and fishing clubs, either virtually or in person. If you would like him to speak at your next event - reach out!
