Chartreuse Sand Eel

No comments yet

Sand Eels are a super-effective type of flies for the coastal fly-fishing. But when the sea run trouts are tricky and just bites the end of the tail - hooking the fish can be difficult. The skilled danish flytyer and flyfisher Mathias “Krølle” Ibsen adds a “dangerous” item on his sand eel flies for situations like this - a small stinger-hook at the end of the fly often does the job in his search of big trouts along the coasts in Denmark.

Hook: NS122 Light Stinger # 2 & NS182 Trailer Hook# 4, connected with monofilamen
Thread: White Veevus 12/
Tail: White Bucktail and pearl Flashabou
Body: Pearl SLF Saltwater
Wing: White flatwing hackle and white bucktail. Olive flatwing and chartreuse bucktail
Eye: 3D-Eye
Head: UV Glue

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.
