My name is Humberto Dante Torelli,

I was born in City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. From very small my grandfathers (a great Fisherman), it began to teach to me on this blessed art of the fishing, is clear that it does many years it was possible to be enjoyed her but a way different from the present one and says this because there were no so many resources as those that today we have in a great diversity of articles and alternatives able to satisfy the necessities with the most demanding fishermen, however does almost forty and so many years we had to take pains to make our own devices of fishing. At that time when it arrived in weekend and tacuara of three took to me to fish prepared a cane and another one of four sections with you link of bronze, with some lines that we armed for all type of fishing, some target preferredly painted cork buoys and red, stored in a wood box done by hand by my grandfathers and always we used a burlap stock market (of thread), for the transfer of which we captured. Memory to have traveled in group to go to North Costanera Avenue, near the Club of Fishermen and other times traveled in train, to go to Marwick Engineer of (Locality of the Party of Field of broom, Province of Buenos Aires) to bathed and lagoons that formed to few blocks of the station, clear that with the passage of the years it went urbanizing and were little by little disappearing these places so appreciated by us. From that time he began all related to the fishing a passion for me, to only see as my grandfathers made his elements, buoys, equipments etc., soon to use them as average to deceive the fish and I tried to do the same, waking up in my the eagerness to innovate and to create my own equipments. When I had my first work I could buy one more a more modern cane of the type tacuara of two sections and some new lines, but always I maintained in my box of fishing rotating the appraised inheritance more of my grandfathers, two reels, a Peters mark and a Fisherman, some lines with wood buoys coiled in small boards also done in wood and some plummets of that one time of manual manufacture, those were my first own arms of boy, for the fishing, that still some things I keep them with a care and a very special affection and also once in a while I use with good results. After knowing the South my Country by means of the Military Service and seeing all kindness and beauties that the nature offered, I began to interiorizar to me itself on the fishing in those places since she was totally different from everything what he had learned and from that moment, always interested to me to learn to fish with fly, that stops my, was something new. It seemed to me unattainable until that I knew (Argentina Association of fishing with Fly), It was associate and it had the possibility of taking didactic and practical classes from this new modality of the fishing, this way that I began to travel with regard to tied in my the first steps. Soon I had the necessity to read some books of different authors like enriching a little more on this science and to learn great variety of Patterns, always knowing a little more since the challenge was every greater time to try to obtain the best one of the results and later of knowing the materials to be able to use them in its measured joust, all that was very enriching my knowledge besides to also learn much when speaking with fishermen of much experience and with great Professors to the tied one, from those who always I took the example. Later, I could know with astonishment and admiration works of flies imitating to the real insects and I seted out on the matter to find data in magazines, books, that that way were the beginnings of my first passages in the average realist, as thus also the study of the insects. Many of my works were known by members of the Association, and I made consultations with binding friends who I had the luck to know, as thus also in some pages of Internet of fishing of my Country where I have collaborated with some of my works. Later I visited pages of other Countries that were dedicated to the realistic tied one and also they allowed me to know and to learn of great professionals in the tied one of the hiper-realism. At the present time I continue investigating and working with classic and realistic Flies, because from my beginnings, it was for my exceptional one to be able to immortalize my first insects, where little by little I was getting up myself being able, to discover a really wonderful world, in which single it exists natural beauty, creation and an infinite pleasure.
