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.
