5 new hot colors in Woolly Sparkle Dub
Our dubbing series has proven itself pretty useful, during the last season – and have been a main ingredient in lots of catchy flies. The first 7 colors were imitative and natural looking – and perfect for imitations of baitfish, insects, shrimps, leeches and other tasty morsels. Now we have added 5 hot colors that […]

Study of a shrimp
We’ll it seems like most Scandinavian fly tiers wanna tie shrimps these days. And for fishing the brackish waters and the salt for sea trout… shrimp flies very often are second to none. Even though we have a long tradition for tying shrimp flies, the craze took a major leap, when the very competent Danish […]

Mic’s Teardrop Minnow
What most of us do, when we create new streamer style fly types for trout and other fish eating predators, is chasing the teardrop shaped outline of a small fish.

Wonderods from Norway
Last spring, when Ulla and I were visiting Rena Fiskecamp in Norway, my Norwegian friend, Kjetil Jansen brought me a present. Kjetil knew that I was into vintage tackle and especially Shakespeare Wonderods, and he had a trio of old rods, that didn’t see much action anymore. They were all from the 1950 – 1960’s. […]

Mic’s Rock Knocker
I’m running on pure adrenalin and coffee at the moment, developing new fly tying materials and tying woolly streamer flies. Today I spent a little time converting my Woolhead Sculpin to an upside-down weedless type of fly. Using a Partridge Saltwater Shrimp hook size 6, Natural Sculpin Wool, Woolly Sparkle Dub and dumbbell eyes it […]
