Gareth Jones sales director for BVG-AIRFLO Group PLC based at Fishtec in Brecon, demonstrated his vast experience and knowledge of fly tying to Ogmore Anglers, in the Conservative Club, Bridgend, on the 7th of April 2003. Seen here with event organizer Harry Carvil vice chairman of the Ogmore Anglers Association Ltd, taking a well earned rest after his informative demonstration with some liquid refreshment.

Gareth admitted that with his job he fortunately gets to travel the world and has fished some of the best waters each continent has to offer. With this immense experience he has been able to incorporate many new and old ideas from all over the world, into his fly tying.

The demo began with a number of still water flies beautifully crafted along with information regarding materials, nylons, fly lines and the best knots to use. Continuing with some of his favorite dry flies and finally weighed nymphs, ideal for grayling fishing etc.

Once Gareth had finished his lecture we were then privy to some of his personal fishing photographs taken on his many global fishing trips.

For all who missed the evening, hopefully Gareth will return with I'm sure with even more wise words and more wonderful flies.
