The image to the left is that of Olaf Borge, Norwegian Batchelor Farmer and Silk Line Pimp. This page should tell you all you need, or ever wanted, to know about Olaf Borge; however, decency codes and possible outstanding warrants from different states make that difficult.


Olaf was born in much the usual way and reared by those who had great hopes for him. Alas, they little knew when he was playing with bits of string at age two that he would still be playing with bits of string at age... well, his present age is not material, nor easy to calculate. Suffice that his enduring fascination with things linear has lead to him becoming the largest purveyor of silk fly lines in the Americas.

Despite his humble beginnings more than ten years ago - wheedling Phoenix double taper fly lines from destitute fishing widows - Olaf has established an enviable empire. From his magnificent inventory - guarded by three fences topped with razor wire, a (possibly rabid) vicious Pekinese, and his formidable field tractor with mulching attachment - Olaf will provide you with the silk line that meets your fishing needs. Should you need someone to share your private salmon beat on the Restigouche, Olaf will hand-carry your purchase to you for little more than the cost of first-class return airfare... perhaps.
