A cool ting! This is just one of the cool things about being a blogger and youtuber – that I get some great feedback from my friends and followers. A week ago I released a new jig tying video on my Slim Darter Jig. It’s a bucktail jig tied on a tubebait jighook. See the […]
Summer is here – and for the next couple of months – we will spend less time in the studio, making tying sbs’ and other indoor stuff. Instead we will be out canoeing, rowing, roadtripping, camping and most important capture as much cool fishing on film as possible. It doesn’t mean we won’t put up […]
My marabou jig is basically a Jack Gartside’s Soft Hackle Streamer tied on a jig hook. The intro to this video was filmed on one of the first warm days in April – that’s why I talk about ice out and early spring fishing. This jig catch fish all year round, but when fish are […]
A bucktail jig tied on a leadfree tube bait head. This is a jig I use when perch and trout are hunting in the shallows. Generally I jig this type of lure fast. Fabulous lure for summer perch fishing – vertical as well as horizontal. Speed is the key to succes with this jig. If […]
I never get tired of tying and swinging soft hackle flies, and the Peacock Flymph is as simple as it gets. A pinch of dubbing and a soft webby hackle is all you need. The dubbing can be substituted with real peacock herl, which is beautiful… but slightly more fragile.

Ulla and I are trying our hands on making fishing footage – since we plan on producing a lot of that stuff in this season. Just a day of fun with a couple of cameras, some cool baitcasting tackle, a Chartreuse Salamander Jig and… a bunch of pike. One of these are stealing center stage […]
The name bloodworm refers to several species of wormlike creatures – including some large saline rag worms. This fly however imitates the red midge larvas found in many lakes, ponds and slow moving rivers. This is a very simple and uncomplicated tie, but it has given me trout, grayling and some really large whitefish. I […]
We are going down under the surface in rivers and lakes, to watch a bunch of streamer flies from the fish’s perspective. This underwater footage is filmed over a period of several years in different environments from fast flowing clearwater spring creeks, over slow flowing rivers to lakes of different clarity. Most of the flies […]
I’m have no idea if the fish takes this fly for being a salamander. Point is, though. They do. Pike and large predatory trout so far. Check out the video to see this jig swim under water. The action is unreal :0)
