Main content Linked flies revisited Some 25 years ago, I experimented with what I back then referred to as "linked flies". Today they'd be called articulated, and I have taken the tying method up again.   Salty Sardinia In the summer of 2020, we were looking for a vacation spot and settled in on Sardinia, which meant that Mediterranean fly fishing was an option.   YR3D dubbing brush tool Siberian Ramil Yamaliev makes a lot of things on his 3D printer - from fly reels to lamps. And then this brilliant dubbing brush twister.   The Perfect Seven Are you looking for a perfect single-hand gear set-up for salmon fishing? Here's Nils Folmer Jorgensen's preferred tools, how he ended there and his honest opinion on why.   Flytying for Beginners A beginner's book that I'd actually recommend to beginners! Great pattern selection, excellent photography and nicely coupled to online videos.   Dron's Little Mice Gugger Mouse patterns can be highly effective on some species of fish. A small mouse is a good meal for most predators, and this pattern is easy to tie, and a great rodent imitation   Rattle.Bum Popper Dron Lee from Malaysia has created this excellent little popper using a combination of foam and braided tube - and a rattle for some extra noise		Blog A lousy old fly rod Some years back I had to fish with the oldest and worst fly rod I ever owned... and you know what? It wasn't bad at all.   Being on Instagram Social media can be a strange experience. It's really a mixed bag. And on Instagram 40% of all anglers seem to be women!   About getting skunked A part of fishing is not catching anything. If you're only in it for the catching, there's something you have misunderstood.   Videos Bashakill   Competition Cat's Cormorant   Detached body technique   Dark Olive Mayfly   Double Mop   Easy Pheasant Tail Nymph   Mini McCraw Fly
