Those Walleye look great, what a lovely fish.
Congrats on a good early spring fish, it is early autumn down here and things are starting to slow down.
All the best.

I've been using this site for many years. In my opinion GFF is the best site for fly fishers in www :)

Gonzalo,

This particular fly was tied many years ago by my friend Nils Jorgensen who now lives in Iceland.
I can't remember the construction, but it seems fairly simple. The only really special thing is the huge propeller that Nils uses in front of the fly. You can see a closer image of the fly here. It seems like a fairly plain hair and synthetics fly with soime red in it and some large eyes...

Nick,

Great to see some spring action! I'm still waiting to take my first spring trip this year, but everything says that it will happen real soon now - there's something in the air!

The Hornberg is the first fly I successfully tied thirty five years ago. I have since caught more fish on it than any other fly.

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.
