Guide Flies with Ralf Kuntzemann


Ralf Kuntzemann loves simplicity. Ralf certainly makes you think about how intricate flies really need to be. Ralf will tie simple streamer flies for upcoming trips with his buddies. He brings the flies, his buddies bring the food and adult beverages.

Tonight Ralf showed us how he ties basic marabou streamers with a single marabou feather and some wire. Quick, easy to tie and definitely fish catchers. Just one tie in point!

We also looked at foam dragons. Again easy to cut and form, one tie in and then some silly legs! Finally we looked at tie a dragon nymph with a sparkly pipe cleaner and some pheasant fibres.

Ralf's personal experience with his patterns has proven to him how effective they are! As always we owe Ralf and big thank you!

Next week it is chironomids. We will be tying blue dun chironomids and a number of chironomids with antistatic bags. We will also try blending threads. See you next week!
