The Scottish based "Fordell Flies" was founded by
Bob Wright in 1992 to utilize 30 years of fly tying
experience and a great interest in Nineteenth
Century salmon flies.

This interest was stimulated in 1965 by an
invitation to visit Megan Boyd, one of the greatest
salmon fly dressers of the time, at her house at
Kintradwell, by Brora. She demonstrated the
dressing of a Jock Scott and showed the amazing
range of feathers and materials required to dress
these old patterns. It was so fascinating that Bob
was determined to learn the techniques involved.

 


Now over thirty years later (a little greyer!) - and
having accumulated on the way a superb library of
all the important books on salmon flies - each book
having been studied in detail - the business has
expanded to cover every aspect of salmon flies.
