Fishing for me began at an early age, on family holidays during the Summer months on the Mid North Coast of NSW. During my teens, bait fishing turned into throwing lures which progressed into fishing the fly.

Fly tying was the natural progression in my angling obsession. Dad manufactured my first tying vise, my skills were rugged for a few years before being honed by a leader in the materials supply chain of the era, who, to this day is a supplier of top quality gear to the fly industry.

I began tying commercially in 1986/87 for the tackle stores in Western Sydney, focusing on freshwater patterns for the local species with a few custom flies for the larger salty predators around and off Sydney

Now, we are specialising in a range of flies to suit Australian Freshwater Natives and Light Saltwater Estuary game which are supplied to various Retail outlets, Guides, Fly Fishing writers and an ever increasing client base.

All flies are tied using Ahrex, Tiemco, Gamakatsu, Partridge or Mustad hooks, specific to the individual needs of each pattern,  along with world class modern materials supplied by industry leading brands to enhance your fly fishing experience.

All of our  flies are 100% tied in Australia.

All flies are tied fresh for each order.  We do not retain stock of flies in storage as we prefer to tie them as the orders come through the system. Once payment is processed and appears in our account , your order will be placed into the tying queue.  Lead times will vary.

Payment for orders can be processed through the PayPal system , direct Bank transfer and we have recently added Square as a payment platform for events that we attend in order for Credit Card payments to be accepted.

A real sense of satisfaction is achieved when hearing of clients stories and receiving pictures of their successful captures. Feel free to email your pics (use the mail icon above) of captures using our flies for inclusion to the Facebook page or Website Gallery.

Enjoy your journey on the fly.
