With underwater film clips and full tying sbs. Combining a heavy jighead with a long and spineless strip of rabbit fur gives a sick swimming action. I tie The Chartreuse Bunny Jig on a wide range of head styles and weights and use it for perch, trout, zander and pike. Read a blog on zonker […]
When I started fishing for sea trout (sea run brown) in my local streams and on the coastlines, I read Hugh Falkus’ book, Sea trout fishing, again and again. And a lot of hours were spent tying the flies from this book. I tied them all. The Medicine, the surface lure and the small double […]
Crayfish are small crustaceans primarily inhabiting freshwater environments. They look a lot like small lobsters, to which they are related. Most importantly from an angler’s point of view: They are rich in protein and a popular food source for any predator able to handle them. Bass, walleye, musky, pike and perch all eat crayfish. In […]
My Golden Crawdad Jig making some swimming motions. The funny thing about testing lures in a natural lake is, that when you get home and watch the photage, there’s always a few surprises in there. This time a pair of small perch are very interested… but also a little scared by this crazy bug. No […]

Slideshow with a dirty dozen for the migrating torpedos. Not counting the fabulous Green Butt Skunk… all of these flies are my own original patterns. Most of the flies include, schlappen front hackles, squirrel tail wings and either dubbed- or flatbraid tinsel bodies. Some of these flies will later be made into full fly tying […]
Autumn is by far my favourite season. Not that I don’t like every season that passes though my southern Scandinavian homeland. I sure do. It’s just… well the atmosphere in autumn is special to me. It may be the turning of the leaves from lush green to all different shades of yellow, orange, red and […]
My Bunny style version of a classic pattern. This one has lot of action, a hotspot to call for attention and some wiggle and sparkle in the tail. I primarily use this pattern for trout fishing at night or dark days. Good for steelhead, salmon, pike and other species as well. Egg Sucking Bunny Leech […]
