About the fly tying site:

Welcome to our corner of the internet, a passion project dedicated to the art and science of fly tying for rainbow trout, with a special emphasis on the serene and rewarding world of still-water fishing.

This website is born from a lifetime spent on the lochs and lakes, chasing the magnificent rainbow trout that grace our waters. As a 75-year-old avid fly tier and fisherman from Scotland, I’ve had the immense privilege of witnessing countless sunrises over glassy lochs, the thrill of a hard-fighting rainbow, and the deep satisfaction of catching a fish on a fly I tied myself.

My journey began decades ago, captivated by the intricate beauty of the insects that inhabit our still waters and the challenge of replicating them at the vise. Over the years, this passion has only grown, leading me to meticulously study the habits of rainbow trout in still-water environments and develop effective fly patterns that consistently entice them.

This platform is my way of sharing that accumulated knowledge and passion with you. Whether you’re a seasoned fly tier looking for new inspiration, a beginner eager to learn the ropes, or simply a fellow enthusiast who shares a love for rainbow trout and the tranquil pursuit of still-water fishing, you’ll find something here for you.

We believe that every cast is a story, and every tied fly is a piece of that narrative. Our goal is to empower you with the skills, materials, and understanding to create flies that not only look authentic but also perform brilliantly, leading to more memorable days on the water.
