Dutch Fly Fair 2018

The Dutch Fly Fair 2018 was very special to me. I met a lot of old friends that I didn’t see for a long time and that made this Fly Fair in particular so special for me. We all get older and some friends are unfortunately no longer among us anymore. I had crazy fun walking around, do some tying demonstrations, give a few  lectures and chat a lot with old and young. A lot people told me that the famous Dutch cosiness had returned and thats a really good feedback to all those people who work so hard behind the scene. Many told me the show was a big success. For me it absolutely was…. Hope to see you in 2020 again.

The Eve is on
Everything ready for the following day

During the auction and barbecue at the Eve of the Fly Fair, my good friend Rudy van Duijnhoven received the famous Jan Schreiner Award from Ad Swier for all his promoting about fly fishing. His writing, photographic work, demonstrations and courses are are a great help to promote our wonderful sport.
