Tying SBS and underwater action on the Maroon’n’black Wool Leech. The yarn or wool leech is a simple, but effective imitation on leeches in freshwater and ragworms in saltwater. This is my take on the classic pattern. The glass bead seems to work great on these flies, if you want more of a gliding than […]
Tying SBS and underwater swimming action footage on the Dog Nobbler tied on Ahrex Mini Jig hooks. This pink version has been a steady producer in the cold waters this winter and spring – in rivers as well as in the salt. I use Woolly Sparkle Dub for the body. I tie the fly in […]
Tying tutorial and underwater action film of this blue hackled variation of the classic Black Zulu. The Blue Zulu is a popular pattern for lake-, lough- and reservoir fishing on the British Isles and will catch trout everywhere. I use it for lake brownies and sea run brown or seatrout fishing in fresh- and saltwater. […]
Tying SBS and underwater swimming action on one of the worlds most popular streamer flies for trout, bass and anything else. This is Russ Blessing’s original pattern, the Olive and Black Woolly Bugger. Tie as many as you can before going on your next fishing trip. This is an essential fly and an American classic.
Underwater action and full Tying SBS on one of the worlds most popular flies. The Woolly Worm is not a Woolly Bugger without the tail. The reverse tied hackle makes it a totally different bug, and make it super useful when you fish upstream or fish dead drift. It is almost completely weedless. Read more […]
Underwater action and tying SBS. on the fabulous Dan Bailey’s White Marabou Muddler. A streamer designed for large trout in western rivers, but equally at home anywhere trout live. On this video I am trying something new, and talk while tying instead of having music only. Drop a comment, and let me know what you […]
I’ve pimped my favourite pike streamer (which happens to be a killer for large predatory trout as well). The new version has rubber legs, a bit more flash and those cool eyes from Flymen Fishing Company. It’s not replacing the original Nightwatchman – just adding an alternative with a bit more spank :0)
Tying sbs and underwater footage of my Woolhead Sculpin. This time tied with focus on maximum contrast – and as a silhouette fly. When you fish these flies high in the water column or in low light conditions, eyes aren’t important in my opinion – profile and silhouette are factors that close the deal. See […]
We are going down under the surface in rivers and lakes, to watch a bunch of streamer flies from the fish’s perspective. This underwater footage is filmed over a period of several years in different environments from fast flowing clearwater spring creeks, over slow flowing rivers to lakes of different clarity. Most of the flies […]
Way back when I started flyfishing for seatrout in saltwater on the Danish coast… few people did that. There wasn’t many fly patterns developed for this new fishing. I did what felt natural and used the flies I had tied for river fishing. One of the most succesfull was an all-black Muddler. On some spring […]
