Louis Veya, after being instructed by Georges Joset, began to tie CDC flies, sedges and hackled and winged flies in the forties. His flies, not only the CDC flies but also the rafia body sedges were tremenduosly successful- and still are today. Veya flies were made since 1942 by the members of the family. They were sold directly by Veya in his shop, but also to flyshops in Switzerland or via distributors like Jenzer Basle. Mouches Veya was sold in September 2021 to Swissflies, with all the remaining historical flies and all rights.
Old Louis Veya originals are are in small number available for collectors only. We offer also the most successful patterns as remakes, tied in the original way in the Jura mountains/ Switzerland with the original materials, but on barbless hooks.
