  • Fishing Flies from the Transkei
    Location: Enclave, East Cape Province, South Africa Republic of South Africa Government: Self-governing tribal Transvaal homeland Area: 16,910 sq. mi. Swaziland Population: 2,876,122 (1985) Capital: Umtata Orange Natal Free The World’s First Fishing Fly Stamps State Cape Province Lesotho Building a Business in South Africa In 1976, Mr. Barry Kent, his partners, and the Republic of Transkei Development Corporation built a fishing fly manufacturing Eastern Cape plant at Butterworth, Transkei, South Africa. Transkei Western Cape The company, named High Flies Ltd., was one of the most modern fishing-fly manufacturing plants in the world. Pricing, quality and clever product marketing proved to be very successful. By 1979 High Flies was employing more than 350 labor-intensive Transkeians, producing over 1,000 dozen flies each day. These flies are used mainly in fly-fishing for trout and salmon. The entire production was exported to countries where these fish are prolific: America, the British Isles, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scandinavia, and other European countries. An idea for promoting other Transkei industries was created by depicting fishing flies on postage stamps. The outcome produced a series of five sheets for each year from 1980 through 1984. Each sheet contains five different fly patterns arranged in se-tenant format. Although the last issue of these stamps appeared in 1984, the factory closed in 1983 due to a corrupt business partner and poor management by the South African/Republic of Transkei Development Corporation bureaucrats. Mr. Kent, along with approximately 390 local workers lost their jobs. Philatelic Specifications Designer: A. H.

  • The Eight Classic Nymphs and How to Fish Them
    Orvis Early Season Weighted Nymph Selection The Eight Classic Nymphs and How to Fish Them Manchester, Vermont 05254 Makers of Fine Fishing Tackle Since 1856 This article was recreated by Bob Hazlett from a very old black and white pamphlet by Orvis found at the bottom of a box of fly-tying material. The text is original; the photos are modern color renditions of those in the original. Page 1 of 7 The Eight Classic Nymphs and How to Fish Them All trout waters, including streams, lakes and ponds contain thousands of different insects upon which trout feed. The immature forms of these insects are called nymphs. Dwelling on the bottom, they can be found year-round and are a major factor in the trout's diet. The flies in this selection were designed to imitate the nymphal forms of the insect orders most important to the trout fisherman. These include the mayflies, the stoneflies and the caddisflies. Weighted nymphs can provide an effective approach when conditions are uncertain or if trout are not feeding on the surface. At streamside, we are always alert for some clue to fly selection. But as so often happens throughout the season, we arrive on the stream and there are no flies hatching. In need of a starting point, many experienced hands begin to systematically probe the waters with weighted nymphs. Which nymph to try first? One that is suggestive in size and color of the naturals in the particular water one is fishing. Naturals can be dislodged from stream bed rocks or submerged logs and examined closely.

    WYOMING GAME AND FISH May 2011 DEPARTMENT Volume 8 Jackson Region Fisheries Newsletter Exploring the Greyback Once again the Jackson Regional Angler Newsletter is fea- turing a geographical region within the headwaters of the Snake River drainage. This year, the Greys River and Hoback River (commonly known as the Greyback) is receiving the attention. In the past, the areas we have explored have been wilderness areas, the Greyback is not within wilderness and therefore, offers a variety of different recreational opportunities for anglers and adventurists. From ATV’s to mountain bikes and horses to snowmachines, this area allows for a diversity of activities for everyone’s interests. Get out there and explore the Greyback! West Dell Drainage Inside This Issue: When the Skiing Gets Tough, ● The Tough go Fishing ● Flat Creek the Tough Go Fishing ● Essential Flies Winter fly fishing isn’t for everyone. When your rod ices up and you have to ● Take Me Fishing wear gloves to keep your hands from doing the same, it takes a special person to ● say, “let’s try the next hole”. Late winter and early spring however, have produced Exploring Greyback (Newsletter insert) some of the best dry fly fishing I have seen on the Snake River. Why? Because, from February through April, Winter Stoneflies (Family: Capniidae) begin to hatch in large numbers. These small invertebrates spend most of their life cycle embedded in the substrate at the bottom of the river. Locally, the dry hatch peaks on the first calm days of the year when the air temperature exceeds 40 de- grees.

  • IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program
    FLY TYI NG GROUP IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program Produced by the International Fereration of Fly Fishers, Fly Tying Group as an adaptation of the Guild Awards Scheme of the UK Fly Dresser’s Guild. Why an IFFF Fly Tying Skills Award Program? The IFFF Fly Ting Group exists to preserve, enhance and support the art of fly tying. Our focus generally is two- fold: sharing of information and teaching so that more people may take an interest in our craft and become more knowledgeable and accomplished tiers. The purpose of the IFFF Fly Tying Group is as follows: “The FTG is dedicated to the preservation, enhancement and support of the art of fly tying as a historic element of the fly-fishing experience. Archiving of historic documents, development of educational and instructional materials, teaching and demonstration are fundamental to perpetuating the art of fly tying for anglers who fish with the artificial fly.” For individuals to improve as tiers, they need to be able to measure their progress. The IFFF Fly Tying Skills Awards Program provides IFFF members with the opportunity to develop or reinforce their fly tying skills and test their progress against a consistent, standard at three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Program Overview and Goals This International Federation of Fly Fishers (IFFF) Fly Tying Skills Awards Program is an educational program for all IFFF members who care to take part. The Awards Program is managed for and on behalf of the IFFF by Fly Tying Group. The goal of the Awards Program is to encourage IFFF members to develop and improve their fly tying skills at their own pace through a structured learning plan with progressive goals and in so doing contribute to the purpose of the FTG.
