In absence of the information about those tyers I decided to proceed with what I had and over the next few years, if I could get the information on the others, I would consider releasing a second book. Never did I realize that it would take me six years to gather that information. During the six years I had the pleasure of personally meeting a number of the tyers. Sadly some of them are no longer with us. During the many meetings I had with the fly tyers, their families and friends I will never forget their kindness and generosity. -

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. -

History: Uses: How to Fish
Klinkhamer Special (presented by Alex Blaque) History: This pattern was designed and first tied by Hans van Klinken in 1984. The L T Caddis however was given the now recognized name ‘Klinkhåmer Special’ by his colleague Hans de Groot. Other tyers including Tomas Olsen & Roy Richardson are credited by Hans for similar solutions but this particular emerger pattern is Hans’ own work. Uses: The Klinkhåmer Special, or Klinkhammer as it’s often known, or even just Klink, is a very popular fly originating from Western Europe. Tied with a parachute hackle, it is an emerging caddis pattern fished during corresponding hatches. Colour and size variations of the fly adapt it for use during other hatches and make it useful as a searching fly in a similar way to the Adams. The Klinkhåmer Special is traditionally a trout and grayling pattern but should be considered for all kinds of fishing situations where fish will rise to a fly; it’s certainly been used to take Salmon and I’ve caught some good size chub with it. How to fish: Originally fished to best effect by it’s author using a ‘downstream’ presentation, the pattern is effective when presented using any standard dry fly technique. Effective for trout, grayling, and any free rising species. Recipe: Hook: 8 - 20 Partridge 15BN or 15BNX or Orvis Klinkhammer 8A00 or a curved caddis hook Thread: Grey or Tan Body: Fly-Rite poly 2 dubbing light-tan or to suit Wing: White poly-yarn Hackle: Blue-dun cock hackle Thorax: Peacock herl Variations: The hooks 15BN and 15BNX are the current patterns from Partridge. -

David Weaver Who Sent a Treasure Trove of Information Mainly Pertinent to Sterkfontein - Which Will Be Fed Into the Bobbin Monthly
AUGUST 2018 CHAIRMAN’S CHIRP Since last month I have really busy with the Southern African Flyfishing magazine. But it seems I had time to get drafted into the KZN regional FOSAF committee to supportDr. Bill Bainbridge in a review of FOSAF policies. I will of course be better placed to provide feedback to members about the activities of FOSAF. As you may know its crunch time for the Alien Invasive Species gazette call for comments. Time will tell… On the club front I’m concerned about the viability of the Bobbin. Under Ian’s hand he produced almost all the content, perhaps we have all become lazy because of this? Stelios has been trying to get content in from members because this is YOUR newsletter. The Bobbin cannot be a one sided affair. Stelios has had limited success in getting cooperation for his last two editions. Do members want this newsletter? Should we discontinue the Bobbin? Members need to decide….. FROM THE EDITOR After much whingeing, whining, cajoling and coaxing, I managed to get sufficient content to produce this issue of the Bobbin. I am sure that members must now be rather weary of me at this stage! When I was asked to edit the Bobbin, I felt that it should be a club newsletter with content produced by members – and this is what I have endeavoured to achieve. For a change, this edition has only one article NOT produced by a member. For that I want to thank David Weaver who sent a treasure trove of information mainly pertinent to Sterkfontein - which will be fed into the Bobbin monthly. -
