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 to 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.
