Bart Reitsma, professional fly fisher and fly tyer for more than 35 years
About Bart
I have been introduced to fly fishing and fly tying in the early 90s. It has never let me go. I am an all-rounder and fish in many countries, but also in the Netherlands, for roach, ide, pike and perch. If possible, I look for running water, trout and grayling are my favourites.

I’m happy to share the tips and tricks I learned during all these years of fly-tying.

Semperfli Pro Team
I also like to be creative and use a lot of materials fellow fly dressers would send to the dustbin. I’m not sure yet what I want to show you at Irish Fly Fair, but I think I will certainly show you how to twist and hackle different materials.

Fly tying Masterclass
On shows I try to tie the flies in a bit more fancy way. For fishing I like to alter patterns to make them easier to tie and still keep them effective. I still learn every day. Being part of the Pro teams of Chevron, Semperfli and Renomed helps me to improve my fly-tying every week.
