I started fishing when I was 2, could hardly walk, and have been fishing since then.  I started flyfishing while at uni and that has since been my passion.  Actually, to call it a passion is not doing the feeling I have justice.  It is not an obsession either, way more....ask the wife!  But I am sure most here can relate to that.

My other "issue" is that I have "wonderlust".  I am a Namibian born South African who has lived in most parts of Southern Africa, the UK and now Papua New Guinea.  Wouldn't mind Fiji or NZ as the next stop.

I started tying flies for fishing in 1993 and have been admiring the classics for a long long time.  I made the plunge in Nov 2009.  MISTAKE!  To be honest, I enjoy collecting and playing with all the beautiful feathers as much as actually tying.  The result is that I have been spending way to much time on the internet, especially eBay over the last couple of months.  And every now and again a package arrives in the mail...again, I am sure most here can relate to that.

Favourite destination: New Zealand South Island....BIG browns in the prettiest rivers you can dream up.
