Niels Have
| Niels Have is a fairly young Danish fly tyer who grew up in the area round the famed sea trout streams Karup Å and Storå in Jutland. Niels has an extensive knowledge about the special fishing that takes place in these streams. The fishing is done from the early summer and on and the query is the large sea trout that migrate into these streams to fish. Karup Å is usually considered to have some of the World's largest sea run browns and its fish will easily compare to the Swedish rivers Em and Mörrum Å and the fish known from Argentina and other parts of Southern America.
The Danish streams and the fishing practised here can not be compared, though. The streams are smaller, slower and has steep banks and the fishing will typically be conducted at night. The rod of choice is a traditional two hand rod or a shorter one or two hand rod of 10 to 12.5'.
The flies are local patterns and variations of well known classics like Niels'
Wadington shanks

If you thought that silk lines, split cane rods and full dressed salmon flies was something people used a century ago, you may want to read this article about Niels Have who fishes his classical flies on a Phoenix silk line wound on a Hardy Perfect reel mounted on a Highlander two-hand split cane rod.
One of the strangest fly-contraptions ever to see daylight in GFF partner Martin Joergensen's vice (which has seen some strange flies). It's a tube fly. It uses one basic material. It's tied without thread. It's ugly, but it works. It's a popper with a lip - a Plipper.
We continue our series of tube flies tied in the Scandinavian style. This fly is another subdued yellow, white and gray fly, well suited for bright light and clear water. It uses a mallard hackle to create a nice, closed shape.
Two seemingly unrelated events led tube fly tyer par excellence Bob Kenly to this method of tying and to discover a coloring system that I have never tried before: dyed Lady Amherst tail feathers and a note requesting something different to be thrown in the water for salmon in New Foundland.
