Mic’s Woolhead Sculpin – video

In this video I show you how to tie a super simple and effective Sculpin imitation. The material used is Natural Sculpin Wool and a pinch of dubbing, made from the same material. You can combine Sculpin wool with any other material, like marabou, flash fibers, polar fox, bucktail and stuff. See more flies with […]

Streamer class in River Rena, Norway 2014

The current was pressing hard against my legs. The river felt cold and fast, but the weather was sunny and warm. I was standing hip deep in River Rena in Norway. It was early June, 2014. The bank side vegetation was light green, dense – and hanging out over the river. There was absolutely no […]

Natural Sculpin Wool

Being a streamer fishing addict, I find myself fishing quite a lot with different kinds of sculpin imitations. Recently I have experimented a bit with a new fly tying material.

Uncorking a brand new season

I had my first 2015 fishing trip today. It felt good to get out and clear my head (still rumbling a bit after New year’s eve) in the mild southwesterly wind. The Fjord was clear and ice free – and with a nice wave that gave me confidence in the project – which was catching […]

March Brown and a bit of humility

When I have been tying large streamer flies… using super thin and strong tying tread I tend to get a little bit too self-confident. I don’t actually think I’m a freaking master of the art of fly tying, but I find myself looking at colour plates in old fishing books thinking: Well those guys are […]
