At the 2011 International Fly Tackle Dealer (IFTD) Show, we launched 3 new fly tying products and 2 new fly ranges.

The show was really successful for us and we won two “Best in Show” awards!

The new Fish-Skull Sculpin Helmet won “Best in Show – Fly Tying Materials” and one of our new flies, the Fish-Skull Crafty Deceiver won “Best in Show – New Saltwater Fly Pattern”.

A big thanks to everyone who contributed.

The new size Fish-Skull is now available!

The new Small-Medium size fills in a small gap we had between the Small and Medium skulls and is the perfect size for #2 and #4 streamer sizes. Will give everyone much more options now.

Happy Tying!

Congratulations to Lee Hurley of Brisbane, Australia who landed some HUGE Snapper on a recent trip to New Zealand. He caught them using a fly of his own design using a Fish-Skull. Very Nice!

He was guided by well known salt-water fly fishing guru, Craig Worthington of Bay of Islands Fly Fishing, Tel +64-9-4037812, Mobile +64-27-388-9058) craig.worthington@xtra.co.nz
