Foam beetle flies are flies that every panfish fisherman should know how to tie, or at least have some in your box.

One of the first terrestrial flies you see in the spring of the year is the Black Gnat..

In this video we have the skillled flyfisher and flytyer Jake Villwock owner of the shop Relentless Flyfishing to demonstrate another one of his favorite “must-have” patterns from his flybox.

I'm not sure of the origins of this interesting pattern but it looks very fishy as both a Dun and an emerger.

Great Pattern for Summer and Autumn
Hook size 12-14 , Thread Black , Body Close Cell Foam with Peacock Herl
Legs Black Spanflex, White Foam used for the Visibility

The song of grasshoppers is a major part of the background soundscape on a warm day in late summer and early fall. They live on most corners of the planet, not counting the coldest climate zones.

Materials Used;

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 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.

Few things can make the trout along the Scandinavian coasts as selective as when the large swarms of ragworms appear when the water get warmer after the cold winter.

Thanks for tuning into this chaos! So, I should state for the record a few things about my fishing...I almost exclusively fish a "mono rig" in what could be called a "tightline" method.

This one is a favorite of mine and worked great for me last summer. Be sure to have this one in your box

A shrimp fly that neither floats nor sinks... Yes, this crispy shrimp fly gives you a float in the water like no other traditional saltwater flies.

Here we will be tying a fly by myself that I made few years back. The idea with this fly is to let is fish right under the surface film of the water. Just like the idea with Emergers.

Here we will be tying a Foam Ant by myself. Many people have tied the same or similar pattern. The Foam Ant is a great option for fishing in both streams, rivers and lakes.
