Chris Helm


Chris Helm tying at the International Fly Tyers Symposium in
New Jersey in 1996.

Chris Helm is one of the world's premier capacities on tying with hair - especially deer hair. Chris has tied on numerous shows and classes all over the world and has taught people to tie deer hair flies both live, in books, and on videos.

I have always been fascinated by deer hair flies, especially muddlers, and my own big break through with these flies and deer hair came after tying with Chris Helm at an arrangment in Denmark. The material presented in his first article on this web site comes from that specific arrangement.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

Having wrapped my share of thread over the years, I thought it was time to revisit a long held interest of mine - traditional salmon flies. My first attempt years ago was pretty disappointing, and I was hoping my skills had evolved enough for me to take that next step and produce a better result.

The Plipper

One of the strangest fly-contraptions ever to see daylight in GFF partner Martin Joergensen's vice (which has seen some strange flies). It's a tube fly. It uses one basic material. It's tied without thread. It's ugly, but it works. It's a popper with a lip - a Plipper.
