Cross-over Muddlers

Being an all round angler definitely has some advantages in my opinion. I’ve learned a lot about tying and fishing large streamers by swinging Rapala lures and other hardware. But the synergy goes the other way too. While I love fishing softbaits and plastics I can’t help to think, that I am able to tie […]

Easter Bunny – Tube Fly – Salmon, seatrout and steelhead fly tying

Tube fly version of my Easter Bunny. A couple af years ago i came up with the Easter Bunny streamer fly, and it turned out to be my single most catching streamer. Trout, sea run browns, perch and pike all have approved this color combo, so it’s a personal favourite. Now I’ve tied a tube […]

This time a pair of small perch are very interested… but also a little scared by this crazy bug. No […]

The pike pond
