SA Fly Tyer 2017

[Gerrit Viljoen]

Philip, het jy die zonker nippers gegom om in posisie te bly? Ek het gevind dat as jy hul gom dan breek hul af one time sal graag wil hoor hoe jy joune gedoen het.

Hi Gerrit,

Die nippers is vir my net so sterk met die gom as daarsonder, wat ek gevind het wel is dat party superglues maak die materiaal wat gegom word kliphard, en dit breek dan maklik, begin heel partykeer ook te rook. Ek gebruik Loctite en vind dit die beste. Wat ek wel ook doen, die nippers is gesilicone (aan die hare kant), voordat dit ingebind word en laat droog word, nadat die hare verwyder is wat dit ook versterk.

I would just like to thank the people who sponsored these magnificent prizes. I truly appreciate what you guys do for the SA fly fishing industry and I am sure this will be an inspiration for next years' tiers.

www.chrisbladen.com Thank you Chris, at last I have one of your sculptures :biggrin:, will past it on next year.
www.jvice.com Thank you Jay, have been using your vice for the past 8 years (probably tied 10000+ flies on it) and it is still flying like the first day. Now I have two - and two sons - to pass it on.
www.streamxflyfishing.co.za Thank you Craig for the fly tying materials sponsor, I have heard, apart from tackle you stock some fly tying stuff also :biggrin: Will be in touch soon.

2 J Vices!! Some fly patterns require two vices...

One of Chris's current projects, attention to detail and his understanding of a fish's proportions is really a cut above many fish artists.
