Top 10 Products for Organising your Fly Tying Desk

Fly fishers are always in search of something: This may be the perfect rod, the best fishing spot, the fish of a lifetime or – more often than we would like – an untraceable fly tying material that somehow disappeared in the chaos on your fly tying desk. But, after you had to tie dry flies the third evening in a row – simple cause you couldn’t find the tungsten beads that you needed for your favourite nymphs – something has to change! At first, the outcome of this annual organisation marathon will feel extremely good. The satisfying, almost stimulating feeling of being in control will lead to a determined resolution of long-term improvement! But, these intentions tend to disappear faster than a dry fly, which has landed in a bush on the opposite bank. And sooner or later, the creative fly tyer will be searching these 'damned tungsten beats' once again!

We would like to give you some suggestions so you don’t get overwhelmed by this 'creative chaos'. Therefore, the following recommendations will definitely improve the organisation of your fly tying desk. Our Top10:
