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.
