A contribution to the 13th Open German Fly Tying Championship by Adrian Bontza!
Many thanks!

15 years of fly fishing at an international level, Time does pass so quickly. Who would have ever thought years ago on the shores of Lake Starnberger where it all began. And now the EWF is the meeting place for all who share this pursuit no matter where in the world they come from. As I heard of the decision about the pattern, I researched in the world of fly tying and found some additional information. |

 tied by Umberto Oreglini |
The Spaniards call it a “fly for the nostalgic” which recalls a bygone era, but with European roots and a form which is not common today. It is called a “jewel” of French fly tying or better said, its crown: visually distinct, but very popu-lar among French fly fishers. The disadvantage is the relative difficulty in tying it which nearly led to its disappearance from the fly fisher’s repertory and from fly shops. The tyer needs to apply several techniques (both common and un-common) - I would say this is almost a “jackalope” in the fly realm - to tie the fly. That all has visual appeal, beginning with the tail made from unmistakable orange with black dye golden pheasant feathers and the nearly unconventional position of the double wing. Really a challenge for the fly tyer! |

|
|
And the story continues: dig deeper into the history of the Panama fly and you will find in old catalogs of the RAGOT company a precise separation into female and male flies. They differ only in the way they are tied. Probably the separa-tion is the result of differing tying methods and materials. The “Practical Handbook for Fly Tying” by H. Pethe shows differing patterns. It is said to show black and white drawings as tying instructions. I wish you lots of fun and success, Adrian Bontza |
