There are of course a lot more styles than this - I will add them as I think of them and get the time to draw them. Help me remember other styles. Drop me a mail or a comment, and I'll work on it. Until then you can study the different styles in this article.

I wish that I had found this site yesterday or earlier: it would have saved a lot of time spent in evading giving written instructions to a friend! I have nontheless now forwarded him the instructions from these pages some 24 hours after my hand written attempt!

Excellent site, a happy find! Thank you!

Wadington shanks

Shanked up: Classics in a classic way. These flies may look like something of today, but the concept of Wadington shanks is old as Methusalem. Danish fly tyer Niels Have has converted four classics to effective flies for early salmon and sea trout fishing. See the pictures and patterns. Go to the story

SHCZCDNTM

Again: Yep! It's yet another one of that Danish madman's muddlers. This time with an even longer name: The Short Heavy Chicago-Zürich-Copenhagen Delayed Nutria Tube Muddler or SHCZCDNTM for easier remembering! Read Martin Joergensen's further explanation here

Ninja Toe Biter

Since we all know that "Stripahs" never eat crabs... ['get stuck on the way down!?]... Well, maybe sometimes... Follow Pete Grays easy crab tie using mesh, rubber legs, glue and sand.

Big Hole Demon

A classical pattern originated back in the sixties - here adapted for Scandinavian sea trout fishing, but probably also useful for bass and other species as well as the brownies it was originally tied for. The fly is fairly easy to tie and we have made it even simpler.

Jock Scott

Some might consider it a bit mad or even crazy, but when Danish Niels Have ties full dressed, classic Jock Scott salmon flies, he ties them by the dozen... and then he fishes with them!
