Baldvin Einarsson




I have various hobbies, the main one being fishing and fly tying. I also really enjoy knitting and calligraphy. I play the piano and like various sports and activities: hiking, soccer (including watching soccer), badminton, squash, and frisbee golf.

In fact, I have too many hobbies. Some of them I haven't gotten around to, such as woodworking, cutting out wood, and jewelry making to name a few. But hopefully, when I retire I can take up some of those.

Here is a series of pictures of the classical fly Popham. The flies were commissioned by Orri Vigfússon of NASF,
The North Atlantic Salmon Foundation. This (and the next series) can give you a feel for the fly tying process.
