A Damselfly Booby fished on a sinking line is a deadly setup for trout in stillwaters as well as in slow moving rivers. Damsel fly larvae are active swimmers and their swimming action is very well imitated in this combination of foam eyes, discrete sparkling wool body and lively marabou tail. Damselfly Booby (with affiliate […]
It’s green, buoyant… and very much alive. As all Booby flies, this is best fished on a sinking line. The damselfly larva is a very active swimmer and can be found wiggling around in most stillwaters and a lot of rivers all year round. This is an easy tie and a great contribution to any […]
Well I’ve given my shrimp pattern some minor corrections along the way. Now I found it was time to give it a name, and make a video of the fly tying process. The name P&S Shrimp means Plain & Simple Shrimp, and here is the fly pattern: Hook: I tie it on a wide range […]
A shrimp pattern that I made for sea trout fishing in saltwater and brackish water estuaries in Scandinavia. P & S Shrimp stands for Plain & Simple Shrimp, since this fly is pretty easy to tie – and super effective. I use several different hooks models for this one: short shank as well as long […]
I made this meaty streamer fly for brown trout fishing, and it has been really productive during the past season. With the heavy dumbbell eyes it is definitively not made for light tackle and long tippets. But any sensible streamer setup in the 7 to 8 weigh range will do. A Skagit style line is […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. The choice makes good sense, since it’s the ultimate aerodynamic or, in this case, hydrodynamic shape. Look at the wings of an airplane, the shape […]
My take on a classic streamer pattern. A must have fly for just about any kind of streamer fishing for trout, steelhead and salmon. I make this fly in black, olive, brown and rusty brown colors. This one is tied with Woolly Sparkle Dub in the color Black Widow. The head is a tungsten bead. […]
A rather simple but effective baitfish streamer fly that i use in fresh- and saltwater. I this video you can see it swimming underwater. On my YouTube channel you can find a tying video on this fly as well. This fly is tied with only one material (not counting hook, thread and 3D eyes) – […]
