Hello, my name is Peter Joest. It’s my great pleasure to be part of the EWF for the eleventh time. So, to answer the question, I was born in 1958, live with my wife and my dog in Hilden, and work as a hospital technician in Düsseldorf. |

The flies I most like to tie are salt-water flies and I belong to the Fly Scene Pro Team as well as the BUG-BOND™ International Pro-Tying Team. True to the saying, “The prophet is not recognized in his own land,” I first earned my spurs outside of Germany. Since the late 1990s, I have been part of the international fly-tying community and have demonstrated how to tie my patterns at shows in Europe and America. I fished as a child, but was 35 years old before I began fishing with a fly rod and began tying my own flies. Inspired by an article about squid patterns, and thanks mostly to the help of a fellow club member who made me a special braided tube, I soon arrived at my own style of fly tying. In the meantime, tying flies with braided tube has become well established, partly supported by various articles in fly-fishing publications. I would like very much to share my enthusiasm for fly tying. You can find me at the “Finest Fly Fishing” stand in the Stadtsaal. |
