Deer Creek Competiton in Trout and Salmon magazine

Back in November we ran a fly tying competition with the help of Trout and Salmon and Kinloch house hotel. To design a Salmon fly for Kinloch house.

We had many entries, and after all the sifting and the criteria was meet, we have narrowed it down to 6. And here they are.

Please feel from to leave comment on who you think should win.

Johan Put is Deer Creeks newest team member

Welcome on board the Deer Creek train Johan.

April Vokey

April was asking all her friends (and she has thousands) to help out with her Flies for fins auction.

So we here at Deer Creek felt obliged to help her.

As Deer Creek where the main sponsors for Keith Passants 24hr fly tying marathon for CFR (Casting for recovery ,breast cancer charity).

We ask Ape to tie up a fly to help Kieth's auction at the BFFI.

Bless her cottons, she tied up and amazing fly which I thought scaled down would be a great hit here in Euro land for our Salmon and sea trout.

So here is April's Purple Explosion,

All the profits from this fly will go towards next years flies for fins.

Greece where my heart is.

My Grandmother was Greek. My Grandad met her during the second world war (he was in the R.A.F.). She was, as all Greek Grandmothers (Yia Yia) was and are all over the world, the hub and king pin of the family.

She kept us all together and was the boss.

This is why I HAVE STRONG feelings towards Greece and the Greek people.

Tolis has a fly fishing web site an we met on the Hatches fly tying forum.

This is his site.

Some of it is in English.

www.fly-fishing.gr

Leave him some comments and lets help him all we can, to make Greece and the Greek fly fishing fraternity up to speed with all the latest fly tying and fly fishing knowledge.

This especially goes out to my design team.

Sedge hogs for St John at Rumbling Bridge

Customers like and catch trout and salmon with flies which we don't sell.

At this juncture in time we only carry a few patterns.

Special patterns new patterns and creative patterns yes.

From time to time we get asked to tie mundane flies which we will never

(never say never Nick) sell.

These black pennel variants and sedge hogs are those flies.

When you see the quality of the original (Kenyan as it uses monkey fur and

not deer hair) they are very poor. but you pay peanuts and you get monkeys

literally!!!!.

St John was very pleased with his new flies.

But worried that after been told about the monkey fur (baboon) he thinks that the fly might

worked because it might have shown its arse to induce to take the fly.

When I see poorly tied flies, tied for money and not because of skill or craft, it gets my goat up.

Why!!!!!!!! We love are craft here at deer creek and it is a craft.

Bjorn Honstad flies for his Salmon trip.

One more revamp for you Bjorn

Trout everywhere are locked onto fry.

This is a prototype perch fry pattern for big fish.

Leave your email address if you would like some tied up.

Micke's flies I will let the photos do the talking

1 thing I have to say is that Micke will be selling his wears with us for next season.
