Funny stuff. Typical of the Kenyans.

I am American currently living in Nairobi, Kenya for two years. I have been trying to find these tyers but, no luck so far. I know there are some tyers here because I see a few flies (or earrings) in stores around stores in the city. Nobody can ever tell me where they come from. Easter, I have a trip planned for flyfishing in the Mount Kenya area. The search will contunue there.

Hoping to trade for some exotic African feathers, if they are ever found.

Hi,
I have been searching the web trying to find a Loop reel that I have and could not find it... until, I saw the picture of "Henning occasionally getting out his old Loop reel" .

Mine looks just like that but looks new; got it from a storage locker deal. Mine says Model 3 with a 970 at the bottom of the reel above "LOOP T.D. SWEDEN, PATENTED".

IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN HELP IDENTIFY THIS AND TELL ME WHAT IT IS WORTH? IT SEEMS BIG FOR FLY FISHING FOR TROUT... BUT I'M NOT A FLY FISHER PERSON.

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP; THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SITE. INTERESTING INFORMATION.

Alan, First time I have seen this pic. Great Job! I love the Butt-tag AND the 8 turns of ribbing. You can do 9 or 10 if you want.There are no rules!!!!
Cheers, joel

Great little streamers, Bob! The article was interesting. Really find the waterfowl wings are pretty and undoubtedly attractive to the fish. Gotta get you some GP crests...

Gentjan,

This is an old article, and we have no step-by-step pictures of the tying sequence, and have no plans of doing any. There will be new patterns with illustrated instructions, but this old one will remain as it is.

Nice combination of colors and well tied. I am a big fan of Herb Welch's patterns. I think that it was look great on a B-17 hook and framed.

Jerry,

I don't know why you haven't heard from them... they give the mail address info@wideopen.dk as a contact.

Regarding orders in USD.

1)
If you go to the site and look right under the flags in the left hand column there's a menu for currency selection - USD is the bottom choice. Select that and you get all prices in US dollars.

2)
Right under that, there's a list of products. Click on Fly Fishing and you will be taken to the DVDs.

3)
Click on the title you want, click Add to basket. Add more products in the same way.

4)
When you're done click Make Purchase.

5)
Enter your address. USA is selectable.

I haven't gone through with the purchase, so I don't know what information I get regarding shipping costs, but if you click on the menu item Terms, you get information on shipping methods.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
