Macabi Pitchfork

Along the coasts of Scandinavia, creative fly tyers repeatedly come up with imitations of shrimp that turn out to be super popular and effective at fooling the coastal sea run brown trout. One of the newer "classics" is Troels Holstein Kaas “Høtyven” (Pitchform, Hay Thief) - the combination of tan/ginger colours and the vibrant orange rubber legs has proven superior at the end of the leader over and over again. In this video, we have once again had Jesper Lindquist Andersen to demonstrate an upside-down variant tied to the fast swimmers of the tropics such as bonefish and other species.

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.
