Theo’s Squid Helmet
Fly Tying in Germany The fly show season is winding down here and in Europe. My old pal, Theo Bakelaar, was tying in Germany a few days ago, demonstrating his squid imitations. True to form, he had to do something to help the audience more clearly understand not only the tying, but the tyer as well. So, the specially camouflaged helmet. It was a great place to store the freshly tied squid imitations. One will never be able to claim that Theo does not have a great time at the shows, tying and entertaining.

The end result of a day's tying. The squid imitations blend nicely with the camouflage of the helmet.
