– get it on your device before your neighbour! In February 2018 I released the book Tying and Fishing the ABU Optic Flies, in an English language hardcover print version. Naturally this book can be bought in our webshop, or, if you live on the British Isles, also from Paul Morgan at Coch-y-Bonddu Books. Later […]
John Lennon once said: Life is what happens to you, when you are busy making other plans. I guess that sums up our 2018 roadtrip just nicely. A hardcore fishing expedition… turned into a laidback, lazy summer vacation – which wasn’t all bad, all things considered. We had a blast fishing for pike and perch. […]
In 1969 the Abu Optic Chillimps was introduced by Swedish tackle manufactor ABU, but the simple palmer hackled shrimp fly was already a legend in River Mörrum before the Optic eyes were added. The Chillimps was born one late night in a bar near River Mörrum – when three Swedish gentlemen turned a wild idea […]
Hi friends, I’m upping my game on YouTube in the coming months. A new video will be up tomorrow – and from there I will release 2 new videos every week. Hear more about it in this video. And remember to subscribe – if you haven’t done that already ;0)
I have written a new angling book. This time on Tying and fishing the ABU Optic Flies. Though it’s a small book, a lot of research went into it… and a lot of fly tying and photography. Tomorrow February the 9th the books should arrive here – and we will start shipping orders. Can’t wait […]

Usually I’m not really into this ”hey look what I once did” kind of thing. I find it more interesting to look forward instead of backwards in that regard. But… this is kind of special. This year it’s exactly 20 years since the release of my first fishing book. In Danish the title was Havørredens […]
New book out now. This one is in Danish. Read more on this link, if you are interested.
Firetail Booby I invented this pattern more than a decade ago. I was inspired by flies like Jack Gartside’s Soft Hackle Streamer and a lot of the colourful steelhead flies. What I wanted was hot colours and flash, but I also wanted it to be a little bit subdued. The solution was to hide the […]
Meet the Booby Fly – Top producing outlaw with a catchy name It has a funky name, it is kind of goofy looking – but it is one of the most efficient and consistently top producing flies for trout… and pretty much anything else that swims. So effective, actually, that it has been banned from […]
