Vliegvisvereniging Weight Forward

De vliegvis- en vliegbindvereniging Weight-Forward bestaat sinds 1998 met als doel een makkelijk toegankelijke omgeving te bieden waar vliegvissers onder elkaar hun hobby kunnen delen en beginnelingen bekend te maken met het onbekende.

In ons gezellige landelijk gelegen clubhuis op 300m afstand van het Noord-Aa in Zoetermeer houden wij elke dinsdag clubavond. Deze avonden zijn variërend van karakter. In de zomer zijn we geregeld te vinden op het Noord-Aa waar wij de grote Brasem en Voorn achter de spreekwoordelijke broek zitten. Of wat denkt  u van vliegbind instructies krijgen van de meesters. Kortom teveel om op te noemen.

Voor de beginnende  vliegvisser is er begeleiding vanuit de vereniging. Zo worden beginners wegwijs gemaakt in het fatsoenlijk leren casten, hoe zet ik een leader aan mijn vliegenlijn, hoe begin ik met vliegbinden, etc.

De gevorderde vliegvisser komt bij onze vereniging ook aan zijn trekken. We kennen het allemaal wel,  die vervelende ingeslopen foutjes bij het casten, die kunnen bij ons na wat advies weggenomen worden. Dat ene vliegje dat nooit helemaal wil lukken, na wat bindinstructies heeft u het zo in de vingers.

De echte cracks zijn natuurlijk ook meer dan welkom, daar kunnen we tenslotte allemaal nog wat van leren.

I was born 1958 in Wuppertal and growing up in Düsseldorf. Since 1998 I live in Hilden (next to Düsseldorf).
I´m a fisherman since my childhood, but I started flyfishing and tying at the age of 38.
Around two years later I was tying on my first big flyfishing show, the Dutch Fly Fair.
Since this time, I´m tying my flies on shows in Europe and USA.
My favorite patterns are squidflies and shrimps.

Thé Ørgänizátiøn has been very busy for quite a while with the organization of the next Fly Fair which is planned for Saturday May 9 and Sunday May 10, 2020. Many of you, both visitors and participants, will still have fond memories of the Fly Fair 2018 and together with you we want to make the Fly Fair 2020 a great or even greater success again.

Never change a winning team.The general set up of the Fly Fair event will be mostly unchanged. For the venue we have opted for "Forelvisvijvers de Berenkuil",  Berencamperweg 11, in Putten the Netherlands. This beautiful venue can be reached easily by car (A28 motorway exit 9).

At the Fly Fair every flyfisher will find whatever his life style requires. Fly casting and fly dressing material, for every kind of fish be it alver or salmon, and all the hooks and clothes one may dream of from size 36 upwards. There will be plenty of opportunities to be informed about the available industrial and technological fly fishing gadgets and to admire the amazing craftsmanship of the semi-professional fly tiers specially invited to show their handiwork.

And if you are bored with your current holiday destinations, you will be able to explore new possibilities ranging from Putten to Patagonia. Hence our motto: The World of Flyfishing.

A lot of attention is paid to the Fly Fair 2020 in our magazine "de Nederlandse Vliegvisser". This magazine is sent to more than 4,000 members and is recognized as one of the most outstanding flyfishing magazines in Europe. And as a special offer, participating firms will be offered free advertising space in the spring edition. In addition, booth keepers will be put in the spotlight in various digital means of communication such De Digitale Vliegvisser, newsletters, websites and Facebook pages.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fly Fair 2020 en we hope to realize a big event for and by flyfishers. The fair will consist of a complete village of pagodas (25 m2 each) and a large light canvas hall for the fly tiers. Even if the terrain is extensive, we have to warn you in advance that the number of pagodas will be limited. In case you wish to participate, please contact Jan Huisman: huisman.jan@ziggo.nl He will send you an information package, including a reservation form.


The Dutch Fly Fair of 2018 was a big success. We're already preparing the next edition. Of course this event can’t be held without fly tiers! Like last year we hope to meet a lot of them.

On behalf of the organization I’ll be coordinating the fly tying part. Main goal is to organize an amazing event that will be interesting for fly tiers and visitors. If you have any suggestions or questions don’t hesitate to contact me by phone or e-mail: jos@homus.nl.

 

Kind Regards,
