“Fishing Class “ Surrey, UK.
Game Anglers Instructors Assocaition
I began fly tying purely to fill my own boxes and am a dedicated fly
angler pursuing any species that will eat a fly, My favourite
species are Grayling in freshwater and Jack Crevalle in the salt
although I do spend a lot of time not catching Tarpon.
I have been tying flies for about 20 years now, first getting
serious about it when I was asked to tie 48 dozen Black Bear salmon
doubles for Fulling Mill to complete a rush order. Since then I have
tied at shows in Holland, the United States and of course the
British Fly fair. I also have a small list of regular clients for
whom I tie special orders.
I enjoy tying what others call “fishing flies”. These are quick,
simple and effective flies that fish eat. They don’t take hours to
tie or include loads of exotic materials. Anyone can tie my flies.
They are tied in all sizes and types from size 6/0 Tarpon and
Saltwater flies to size 22 dries, nymphs and buzzers. I undertake
commissions and once supplied 23 large frames of flies for a client
to completely cover one wall of his living room.
I was been a police officer for 33 years and retired in 2008, since
then I have added to my pension by starting a guiding and
instructional business both in the UK and abroad, giving fly fishing
and tying lessons as well as supplying custom tied flies to my
clients.
This is my first real trip to Germany and I apologise in advance for
a complete lack of knowledge regarding your language. I do speak a
bit of Spanish so feel free to communicate that way. I look forward
to making many new friends
At the German show I will be tying classic English patterns
including Spiders and Dry flies.
