Martins Minnow Variant
Related content
Flyfishing for predators have been very popular for many years in Europe and Scandinavia - in the recent years flyfishing especially for perch has grown in popularity. If you have a look in the flybox among some of the most successful flyfishers, a upside-down jig style baitfish pattern called Martins Minnow will often be present. UK based flyfisher and flytyer Martin Smith invented this fly many ears ago and it is more a fly-style than a specific pattern - the key to success is the jig-hook and the heavy bead that gives the fly the movement. In this video Søren Flarup from Ahrex demonstrates the tying of his version of Martins Minnow.

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.
