    kind of off/on topic...

    an example of the flies I tie for these boxes...
    this one is called a nelly bly and it is dressed to a pattern from john p. traherne, 1895.







    cheers,
    shawn

    Beautiful, are you self-taught?

    there were many nights involving a bottle of whisky, a robusto and a stack of books... but as for any live tuition, not really.
    I watched an instructional video by michael radencich and learned the foundations of salmon tying from that. prior to that I'd been tying practical fishing flies for years... so to me that isn't really self taught.
    well, kind of... I don't know.

    cheers,
    shawn

    That's an impressive concept. Even more impressive is your engagement in the North American market. Now is the time to exploit it with our dollar so low. Good luck with it all. I'm envious of your opportunities.

    Default Superb

    Suberb work, well done. Have you chosen Tasmanian timbers because that is where you fish - or for some other reason?
