[![IMG_0776.jpg](https://s17.postimg.org/nzqk75v8f/IMG_0776.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/lieszwbbv/) On 15 January 1980, a commemorative envelope was published in the erstwhile Transkei covering the Fishing- flies being crafted in the Transkei. The labour intensive fishing-fly factory was estabilshed in October 1976. The fishing-flies being manufactured in the factory are mainly used for trout and salmon fishing in America, the British Isles, Canada, Scandinavia and European countries. [![IMG_0777.jpg](https://s17.postimg.org/udfnand1r/IMG_0777.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/tb5gs3u8b/) The far left stamp depicts the March Brown fly a type of Wet fly. This fly was first designed in 1469. It is referred to as a wet fly due to the fact that it sinks to the bottom to imitate underwater life. The far right stamp shows the Zug Bug fly which imitate a Nymph. This fly was designed in America but are now used worldwide. The fly is mainly made of peacock herl. [![IMG_0778.jpg](https://s17.postimg.org/3tn283rtb/IMG_0778.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/yb2wznf63/) Second from right the Black Gnat is depicted. This is a type of dry fly. The stiff hackle fibers causes it to float on the water and thus imitates an insect on the water. The stamp in the middle of the collection shows the Colonel Bates streamer. This fly was designed during the second world war by mrs Carrie Stevens who named the fly after the famous Colonel Bates, a famous American angler. Second from left is the Durham Ranger fly. It is a Salmon fly. James Wright of Tweedside designed this famous salmon fishing fly. The Transkei factory produce all the above fishing flies and export them worldwide. Cheers 🍻🍻🍻 I took the photos with my iPhone.
