A Not Too Steady Flow Of Mayflies
A Not Too Steady Flow Of Mayflies is fly fishing tale from the season of 2023. I filmed a lot with the fly fishing superstars Håvard Stubö (jazz and fly fishing) and Markus Lemke (Lemmelkaffe), then I also filmed by myself, some of the footage is included in the vlog series "Kokkaffe Diaries". Håvard a also filmed some by himself in the secret rivers of Norway.

Red Squirrel Nymph
This is the second video in our series on how to tie fuzzy nymphs and streamer flies using hair and fur from skin patches. In this video I tie a typical fuzzy nymph inspired by Polly Rosborough’s flies and Dave Whitlock’s Red Fox Squirrel Nymph.
I use this for trout fishing but it is great for perch, panfish and any other insect eating fish.

March Brown Male UK (Bergman)
I tied this fly for the Bergman Facebook group as it is March 2024's Fly of the Month.
It was my first time tying the fly and it is far from perfect but a fun tie and a cool little pattern. I have to say the fly wingless would also be awesome!

Brad's Rogue Sculpin
The search and dream of big trouts, is allways on mind of every flytyer and flyfisher. Often we dream of big trouts delicately sipping dryflies on the surface, but a much easier way of getting in contact with a big trout is by using big “baits”. And the fly in this video must be called a big bait!

Kobberbassen, Copper Bully
Here we will be tying the fly Kobberbassen originally from Denmark but has spread around a lot the last years and become a very successful pattern for seatrout mostly. Bronze or copper flies have been getting more and more popular all around for the sakes that they catch often a lot of fish. Even I myself have my Copper Oranje copper fly and that's a fantastic fly pattern that works great.

Olive Woolly Bugger
Here we will be tying a classic Olive Woolly Bugger. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing and excellent when it comes to fishing for brown trout. There it delivers a lot of fish. The Olive version of this fly catches both brown trout, arctic char and even salmon. I'd say it's quite simple to tie and totally worth keeping a few in your box when you go fishing.

Fur and hair from skin patches
Today it's about fur and hair from skin patches. Most small rodents, weasels, foxes, deer and many other animals have useable hair for fly tying. While most of us probably best knows the obvious candidates like deer hair, bucktail and squirrel tail, there is hundreds of other useful furs.

Quill Subs Peacock
Here we will be tying the original version of the Peacock by mr. Kolbeinn Grímsson. This video is made after a request from someone who wanted to see the Peacock tied exactly like the author did. Peacock is I think the most used nymph when it comes to fishing in Iceland. It was made by mr. Kolbeinn Grímsson late last century and has been successful ever since.

Watsons Zebra
Here we will be tying a hybrid of two flies, the Watson's Fancy as a nymph, and the famous Zebra Midge. I (and probably some other fly tiers before me) came up with this pattern few years ago. I decided to try to mix these colours together since they work excellent for the Arctic char here in Iceland. And BINGO! This fly works great when the fish is picky.

It fishes incredibly well and many nice fish have mistaken a natural insect for this small all-round imitation.
