Fly Tyers

Hi, I’m Alois. Born in 1981, happily married, father of two daughters, and lucky to call the beautiful village of Hermannsburg in northern Germany my home.

Friends, fly fishers,

My name is Bart Reitsma and I live in the middle of the Netherlands, in Harderwijk. In the early 90s I came into contact with fly fishing and fly tying, and it has never let go of me. I'm an all-round fly fisher and have fished in many countries.

My name is Carl Olofsson, and I am 39 years old.

I started fishing around the same time I learned to walk, and it has been my absolute greatest passion ever since. As a child, I fished for everything—using both fly and spinning gear, and targeting all kinds of species, but for the last 10–15 years, I have focused exclusively on fly fishing.

I used to play the French horn in the Fenice Orchestra before becoming a chef and running my own restaurant in Venice. Life always being unpredictable, I'm now a wine merchant in Dublin and travel the world working as a private chef to Hollywood stars and European Royals.

Hi everyone, I'm Fabio Federighi and I live in Florence in Tuscany.

I like to tie flies in various styles, especially in "Italian Style", a style created by Francesco Palù in the 70s, which, through the choice of materials and their particular arrangement, gives movement and vitality to the imitation.

My name is Frank, I am 63 years old and I come from the beautiful Sauerland in Germany. I'm a brand ambassador and pro tyer for Hends Products.
