My fly lines are not just a simple tapered braid made of various materials, but they have a long history braided into them which is the story of my life as a fisherman. For years now, I dedicate myself everyday to attempts to make my lines better. I try to make them softer, float better and at the same time to have all the characteristics that a fly line should have. I make two kinds: in natural silk and in synthetic silk.
 They are both suitable to all kinds of situations, from calm flat waters to riffles, but the thing that distinguishes my lines is their suppleness. The silk ones become supple to the touch after having fished them a few times and having therefore run them in and they become softer than the artificial silk lines because after the line dressing has worn off, you will be fishing directly with the silk and the more you use it, the more the incredible characteristics of silk come out. | | Both types of lines are very supple and this helps with casting – in fact you can do all kinds of tricks. They are also characterized by delivering a delicate presentation and this helps the fisherman to not spook the fish. They are all double tapered (D.T.) and classified according to the A.F.T.M.A.. You can have various kinds of weight and the silk lines are available in 00 – 0 – 1 - 1½ - 2 – 2 ½ - 3 – 3 ½ - 4 – 4 ½ - 5 – 5 ½ - 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 , the artificial ones in 2 – 2 ½ - 3 – 3 ½ - 4 – 4 ½ - 5 – 5 ½ - 6 - 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11. My lines are standard lengths and up to a 7 weight they are 25 metres long and these are ideal for normal fishing. The heavier weight lines go up to 35 metres and are ideal for salmon fishing.
