Selecting a proper tying thread for your flies can be important if you want to get the best looking and most durable fly.
In fly tying the thread is literally what holds your flies together, and threads play a very important role in creating quality flies - both when it comes to looks and when it comes to durability. And certain threads are good for certain tasks, enable certain techniques and can make certain tying steps much easier.

Artists whose art is related to fly-fishing
In the end of 2006 I set out on a quest to find artists whose art was in some way related to fly-fishing. The task was not hard since I already knew a few and had contact with them, and through connections, friends, web sites and email I started gathering samples and interviews with these artists.
During the course of the project South African fly fisher and GFF contributor Korrie Broos made articles about African artists to supplement the series.
This page sums up the results so far and links to each of the articles.
