"Raised among the wonderful trout lochs of Orkney, Stan Headley has
been a passionate fly fisherman for over 30 years. His expert
knowledge of Scottish wild trout derives from a study of all
aspects of trout behaviour and ecology, for he is firmly convinced
that to understand the way of your quarry is to be a better
angler.
Stan has also spend the last 21 years trying to master fly fishing
for salmon, an art which he freely admits is difficult, frustrating
and often illogical! He is a former Scottish National Fly Fishing
Champion and continues to represent his country in international
fly fishing matches.
He is a regular contributor to Trout & Salmon magazine and other
fishing journals and his contributions to the angling press over
the past 23 years have made him a familiar name to trout fisherman
in Britain. His fly-tying talents (as the colour plates in his book
Trout & Salmon Flies of Scotland show) have established him as one
of the best 'traditional wet fly' tyers of modern times. He has
also created many innovative fly patterns, some of which, such as
the Doobry, Fast Eddie, Palmered March Brown and West Daddy, have
become standards."
