Morrisfoam Diver, Danish version


Babtism of the Morrisfoam Diver

Bottom: The first fish on the Danish Morrisfoam Diver

 
The first fish I caught on the Morrisfoam Diver was a small sea trout which I took on a nightly outing with Maj-Britt and Henning. I had never tried it before, but it proved quite effective. I was the only of the three of us to even have contact with fish - not least land one.

People who looked at the above also looked at:

The Idiot

Classic: The Idiot - or 'Idioten' in Danish - is another typical Danish sea trout pattern. The story of this fly is quite well known and documented. A team of Danish fly fishers including Erik Døssing were fishing in Norway when one of the company stated that he had never caught a sea trout on fly in the stream Karup Aa - probably Denmark's most productive and famous sea trout stream. Go to the story

Morrisfoam Diver

Patterns: "My, what an ugly fly!" Henning glances with disgust at the brightly colored foam fly shining from the hook rest on my 5 wt. "I thought you had higher standards" he continues, knowing that I usually prefer muddlers made from natural materials for my night fishing for sea runs. Go to the story

The Locofoam Story

Ils sont fou: Harrison Steeve's story about a brand new foam material for terrestrials and many other flies. "You guys are crazy to spend so much time messing around with that loco foam." Needless to say the name stuck. Read the whole story here. Go to the story

Grizzly version

Patterns: The Morrisfoam Diver can be made in many colors and materials. This one is more like an average Danish coast fly for sea trout. Go to the story

Picture galleries

Section: The worlds best pictures of fly fishing. The art of fly fishing and fly tying in photos. Lots of images of flyfishing situations, streams, lakes, ocean, landscapes, anglers, fish and much more. Go to the gallery section here
A few random articles for your entertainment

Small Fry: The Lure of the Little

The father of English fishing literature, Izaak Walton, devotes two chapters of The Compleat Angler to chubs (or "cheven" in the archaic plural), and in one scene his Piscator takes pleasure in catching the largest one of a school of twenty to the amazement of his companions, Venator and Auceps.
