    Huh, I guess she is human at least.

    Not sure if being a Christian fly tier is gonna up the catch though?

    Dear Sir,
    Thanks for your reply and the question thereof. Yes, we hand tie flies from all the categories including trout,salmon,bass and saltwater flies. We are also experienced in doing custom tying,this is where you can send us a picture or samples of your special/custom fly pattern for us to happily match and copy for you. Fly tying was taught to us by a group of American and European Christian fly tiers who visited our country sometime back.Today,we can tie flies to imitate any insect that game-fish species feed on.
    Our website is still under construction but has a lot information about us already...

    Kenya!

    Flies look good $6-10 for a dozen, some nice salmon ones I wouldn't mind trying next year.

    Not sure how to order, but she sent me a 15 page word doc showing them. Said her website is down...

    Probably a scam, but kind of elaborate and niche-y?

    Question Scam....???

    Maybe a scam. I had the same initial reaction.... But, it would be a good way to train some people in that area to become self sufficient (like in an AID project). The only way to find out is to check out their product. At the price of the flies, it seems like they might tie on lower quality hooks. Of course, that could happen here as well. How about asking them to send a sample??

    Why not support your local fly shop. For example, the one that is hosting this forum.
