Sheep hair flies
Recently I've begun working with a material that was introduced to me through the tying of Dave Whitlock. In particular, his "sheep series" of baitfish flies. It's Icelandic Sheep Hair, although some distributors refer to it as "Streamer Hair" or "Secret Streamer Hair". I've found it to be a wonderful tying material for large streamer type flies.
March 6th 1997
The sea trout season has started... ...and then again hasn't. The Bonanza from last year hasn't really repeated, and the fishing in the well known fjord areas is not as excellent as some Danish fishing media want us to think. This particular kind of spring fishing takes place almost each spring in the deepest parts of the fjords where the sea trout have been tucking away during the coldest part of the winter.
Charles Garwood, USA
Foam flies for panfish Charles Garwood is an active tyer and fly fisher living in North Carolina, USA. He has submitted a set of convincing nymph and scud patterns. A similar convincing set of bass foam patterns from Charlie's hands will follow soon. Foam flies for panfish Charlie's Bead Head Scud Charlie's Flashback Prince Nymph Charlie's Pheasant Tail Nymph
