I fish this pattern for cod, and do so regularly from a belly boat on a sinking line.
Cod are not picky when it comes to flies, and this pattern is easy to tie and easy to cast.

Nice write-up Martin. I've been using a very similar foam pattern on the coasts of Amager (Copenhagen) with amazing effectiveness! The surface takes with this pattern tend to be quite subtle, but the sub-surface takes are often quite ferocious indeed! Not a fly to show-off but definitely one to have in your evening box.

New to fly fishing...soaking in as much as possible. Have graphite now, is the feel better with glass?

I wouldn't say one was "better" than the other, but it's a bit of a different feel and a bit more forgiving. There area quite a few inexpensive glass rods to check out. Have a look through The Fibreglass Manifesto archives for some ideas and a ton more info.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
