Flymen Fly Company

A few weeks ago while at the Fly Fishing Show in Raleigh I caught up with Mark Bawden of Flymen Fly Company.  It's certainly neat to see a small independent company within the fly fishing industry have an idea for a product like Nymph-Head and then follow that up with another cool product like Fish-Skull. 


While checking out the Flymen Fly Company booth Martin kept busy at the vise and showed off a few patterns he was working on with the Fish-Skull heads.



The Frantic Tails look to be an interesting product to use both with the Fish-Skulls or to create flies like this spun deer hair popper.






Flymen Fly Company has a lot of suggestions and ideas for uses for their products with pages of instruction and a blog showing off innovative patterns of other tiers.






This pattern looked like a cinch to tie and might be really excellent multi-species fly.  I'll be tying some soon for sure.

Mark promised a new products for 2011 so you might want to keep an eye on the Flymen Fly Company website, Facebook, and Twitter for updates.
