Tobiskongen
The ‘Tobiskongen’ (the-king-of-sand-eel) is a classic baitfish fly with no difficult tying moments. It is relatively quick to tie and the few materials are relatively gentle economically, so you can tolerate losing a few flies while fishing, without getting tears in your eyes.

Scierra Zonker
The skilled Danish fly fisherman and fly caster Ronny Lagoni is a specialist within sea run brown trout fishing and came up with this voluminous large tube fly tied to fishing for large sea runs browns in the Danish rivers, designed to fish just below the surface and to “push” as much water as possible – something the sea trout love.

Brammer's Mini Pheasant Craw
I got this beautiful whole pheasant pelt from a subscriber named Justin a while back. I wanted to use some of the other beautiful feathers on this bird than I usually use. So I looked up flies that utilize different sections of pheasant. I found this amazing pattern that uses nothing but pheasant feathers from Gunner Brammer.

Royal Coachman
The Royal Coachman is undeniably one of the most beautiful flies ever created, especially the wet version. The lines and curves of the white wing, with the beauty of peacock and red floss body, finished up with a tail made out of the collar of one of the prettiest birds out there, a golden phoenix.

Steel Blue
One of Roger Woolley’s most famous patterns. Most often mentioned as a great grayling pattern perhaps because of its similarity to the grayling patterns of Derbyshire where Woolley is from. While I am sure Woolley used it for grayling and I am sure it takes grayling, he lists it under “Fancy wet flies” and I know it works on trout.

In hard-fished waters, it pays often to try with smaller and sparsely dressed nymphs to be able to lure the big, spooky trout to take, those who have seen many flies and perhaps learned that conspicuous flies are not food, but a creative fly-tyer's attempt to lure them to take.

Coastal flyfishing for sea run brown trout along the coasts in Scandinavia is a big thing, and the fishing is apparently also quite good along the coastal areas in both United Kingdom, Ireland and Scotland. A pattern that has gained quite a reputation is the Shannon’s Terror - a baitfish imitation invented by Scottish flyfisher and flytyer Billy Scott.

Chubby Chernobyl
The chubby chernobyl is one of, if not the easiest visibility dry fly out there. It's just like fishing with an indicator that has a hook. The large tuffs of yarn on top of the fly are easily seen no matter any conditions you are fishing with. It's great for low visibility settings like dusk or dawn, and will also hold up some pretty heavy nymphs or streamers.

The Amy’s Ant is a high floating, high visibility foam dry fly that works very well. I find it to be one of the prettier of the foam flies. It’s made to look like a stonefly, but will work very well as a large hopper. This is one of the better patterns I’ve used as the hopper dropper style.

The Secret Fly of Cutcliffe
One of the interesting concepts put forward by Cutcliffe is the idea that the specific pattern is not as important as stealth, fly placement (casting accuracy), and the method of drifting the fly. This of course is specific to "rapid streams" or streams with fast-flowing broken water. In fact, Cutcliffe argues that the fly should stand out and be easy for a trout to notice quickly.

Red Abbey
The classic salmon flies with whole featherwings or married wings were time-consuming and complicated to tie. Gradually, the wings were replaced by hairwings, and one of the first modern hair-winged salmon flies is believed to be the Red Abbey. It is unclear who is the originator of the fly, but A.S. Trude is one of the first to be credited for it.

Pequegnot did this pattern a la Gris a Corps Jaune with yellow silk and blue dun hackle for the tail and collar. He suggests for the body to use a lesser feather but for the collar to use the best you have.

Adult Yellow Sally Stonefly
The massive stonefly hatches from the US, especially Montana, are well known. And seeing the shucks from them it’s no wonder that they can bring even the biggest trout to the surface. Depending on where you live, stonefly imitations can be a must-to-have in the box or a nice-to-have. In Montana it is a must have, in Scandinavia, nice-to-have.

A few materials and a wing that can give the characteristic triangular profile and make the fly super buoyant is the keywords behind this fine caddis imitation, which we have had our Swedish friend Håkan Karsnäser to demonstrate the tying of. When the caddis flies are hatching, the fish in both running and still-water can rarely resist a well-presented imitation.
