We asked Bulgarian fly tyer and fly angler Radoslav Kiskinov to describe himself, and this is what he wrote:

- My name is Radoslav Kiskinov better known as "Akulata" (the shark). I am 30 years old.
I live in Bulgaria and have started fly fishing and fly tying in the year 2000.
I am the webmaster of the www.akulata.com - the biggest Bulgarian fly fishing website the solely purpose of which is to make fly fishing more popular in Bulgaria.

I go fishing in many different places in our country - rivers, lakes, reservoirs, channels etc and some rivers at Serbia ­ Drina, Jetina.

I like to fish with dry flies, wet flies, nymphs and streamers through the whole year. I do not have favorite fish. Brown, rainbow, brook trout, grayling, chub, perch, pike, Each fish taken on a fly is a good fish for fly fishing.
Last year I made another website - www.akulataflyfishing.com - an online shop specialized in fly fishing. My every day may job is to tie flies, to go fishing, to write about my fishing and to sell fly fishing products.

Dear Rado, ...

Dear Rado,
I wish to retire in Bugaria, where I have purchased a house in Plakavo, near V.T 4 years ago. There is no way I could sit around and do nothing with my days ahead , and this is why I am writing to you. I would like to promote fly fishing in the V.T area, and act as a guide to fly fishing in the area. I have been involved in trout farming, Fly fishing promotion and advice in South Africa, as well as sales for a number of years. I tye my own flys that actualy do catch trout, I am not sure why though.....
I would be very greatfull if you could advise me or assist me with advice as to how I my help or advance the fly fishing ferterinty, or even help you in expanding your operation in the V.T area if possible, and in so doing allow me to reside in your beauifull country.
Yours Faithfully

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
