Lönnesocken

No comments yet

Local legend in the famous seatrout and salmon river Mörrum Lars Terkildsen had just landed a nice 12 kilo silvery salmon one lovely day in May on the former Walhalla beat (now known as Dahlbom’s). After landing the fish, Lars cut off his fly and tied it on a fellow fisherman’s leader instead. Hans Jürgen Lönne was his name. – Now you go and catch a salmon on this Lönne Sock! Lars cheered. And so, Hans Jürgen did just that. Of course, the name stuck to the fly ever since. In this video we have put local flyfisher and owner of Fiskeshopen behind the vise to demonstrate the tying of Lönne Sock, a lighter dressed version of the iconic Ullsocken - but designet for clear summerfishing in low water conditions.

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.
