FOSAF NEWS - New from FOSAF - The Favoured Flies Card Collection

The "Favoured Flies and Selected Techniques of the Experts" series of flyfishing books contains a total of over 500 flies and this card collection is a representative selection of some of those flies chosen. The principal prey species have been identified in this collection and the objective is to help flyfishers enhance the enjoyment of their sport by being assisted to match the hatch and improve their success rate.

FOSAF_447.jpgObviously to list all the flies in the five volumes would be impractical and therefore users of this collection are encouraged to make reference to the particular volume where the fly is illustrated. This will also provide tying instructions and techniques for fishing the fly - references are included on the index card in this pack.

Not all of the fly selections are commercially available but if tying is not your game the tackle stores will be able to recommend a substitute or arrange for flies to be tied up for you.

If this first set of cards is well received by the flyfishing public then it will be followed by more specialized sets depicting individual prey species - Mayflies, Midges, Caddis flies, etc, etc.

Recommended retail price inclusive: R178,00
