Tanna Gold
Here we will be tying the monster fly Tanna in it's golden version. Tanna was originally designed for the north east of Iceland, Laxá in Mývatnssveit and made a great success for the author up there. It caught many trouts and some of them large up to 6-7 kg! Tanna is a great option for running water and was designed for that. The last years though Jón Sigurðsson, the author of it started to tie it in brighter colours for attempting fishing seatrout with it from the coast. That gave as well great results and that's when a light fly comes on handy like the Tanna. But Tanna is extremely light since the body is built up with those heat shrink tubes. The Tanna fly catches both brown trout and seatrout. It's medium-hard to tie, but with practise you should come out with similar results like in the video.

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.
