This site is dedicated to fly fishing enthusiasts who share my passion for fly tying. Fly fishing is a complex and multifaceted discipline, which allows us to catch many species of fish with lures differently structured, but united by the same name of "fly".
I wish to offer to the beginner, as well as to the expert in the fly tying field, a growing collection of flies, dividing the models according to the water suited to their use or to the fish attracted by them.
I have reserved also a section for the fully dressed, the classic Atlantic salmon flies popular in Victorian age, because they are small jewels that appear, if well built, true masterpieces and well represent the intrinsic expression of art in fly tying.

My friend Dale Darling told me that his latest book titled "Presentation 101" is hot off the press. This work covers casting, presenting flies and mending fly line. Various types of casts and drifts are explained based on water types, food organisms that trout eat and imitations that fool them. The information will apply to most trout streams! For information or to purchase a copy on paper or for Kindle readers, you can visit the website of Riverforkpress |

In 1845, during a fishing trip from Scotland to Norway, John Scott, a popular gillie of the Tweed River, gave "life " to a lure which would have become the more representative salmon fly of the British tradition, dedicating it to his namesake and employer Lord John Scott |
