My name is Andrzej Koziel and I am a fisherman from Cracow,
southern Poland. It was about twenty five years ago when my fly fishing
adventure has started. I still remember my first bamboo rood with very
thick fishing line ending by some fly I bought in the shop. Unfortunately
in that time flies were not efficient and quite expensive. I decided to
start tying flies for me. After while I realized that it became to be a
pleasure to catch a fish using my own flies. Then I started tying for ma
son who was six when he has started with fly fishing and tying his first
funny flies. Some day I was asked to tie some flies by some fishermen I
met fishing. I did it and he won some competition. From that moment I have
been tying flies for Polish competitors who have had many successes in
international fly fishing championships. I also participate in
competitions. Four years ago I met Mike Watts from United Kingdom who
tested my flies in English streams. He convinced me to start sharing my
fishing experience with others. Trout and grayling fishing is my passion
and I am focused on tying baits especially for those kinds of fish. I
don't tie flies one can find in catalogues. I have my own unique patterns,
my own ideas, my own imagination and passion!
