Video Caddis Larva Aug 12. 2022 As fly tyers, we often try to imitate the fish's natural food items - sometimes we tie flies that provoke the fish and other times we tie super-realistic imitations where it can be very difficult t	Video Krókurinn Aug 2. 2022 Here we will be tying the fly Krókurinn by Gylfi Kristjánsson. Krókurinn has earned its place as probably the best fly ever made here in Iceland to fish Arctic char.	Video Grábjört Aug 2. 2022 Here we will be tying the fly Grábjört from the personal collection of my mentor, Jón Sigurðsson.
Video GTI Caddis Jun 10. 2022 The GTI Caddis is a fly I have had great luck with in the past. I have used this pattern for a long time.	Video Bjarni Svarti Jun 4. 2022 Here we will be tying the fly Bjarni Svarti. It's clear that this fly looks very much like all the Mobutos there have been tied in Iceland.	Video Perdigon Fly Jun 2. 2022 The Perdigon came from competition fly fisherman who started the "euro nymphing" technique. They would fish a heavy fly, preferably on a jig hook so it would not snag the bottom.
Video Frenchie May 26. 2022 The Frenchie fly resembles a pheasant tail that has been changed slightly. These can be tied on a regular hook, but I really like using a jig hook with these.	Video Pheasant tail May 20. 2022 Here we will be tying my version of the famous fly Pheasant tail by mr. Frank Sawyer.	Video No-Rise Nymph May 20. 2022 This is a great generic imitation for searching the water when the fish aren’t rising. The small jig-off bead adds a little weight and flips the nymph to fish with the point up.
Video Woven Ammonite Nymph May 20. 2022 This pattern is based on Steve Thornton’s Ammonite nymph dressing, a real favourite amongst many tyers and fly fishers alike.	Video Brown Bead Stonefly May 20. 2022 Even the most fanatical dry fly fisherman must admit that there are often days when nymphs are far superior to the dry flies.	Video Bead Head Hares Ear May 12. 2022 The Hares Ear is a classic fly that has been around for a long time. Even though its an older pattern, its still very effective today.
