Hot melt glue

Zonker strips

Sea trout flies

This is an excellent pattern for both salt and fresh water. The melt glue technique makes it much easier to obtain a uniform transparent body on every fly. If you enjoyed this video and wish to support this channel please visit; https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3355572&alert=1&ty=h

Micro Squirrel Zonker

A small baitfish zonker. It is really easy to tie and doesn’t require a lot of materials.

GoFi Sculpin

Baitfish like sculpins is the inspiration for this tying-video of the GoFi Sculpin - a small and lively baitfish-pattern that really can get the attention from predators in the water.

The Mango

The Mickey Finn is one of the first streamers many beginning fly tyers learn to tie. Kasper Muehlbach never used it and for years a yellow and orange fly was missing in his fly box. Last year he was inspired to tie a replacement.

Strange X-Mas

Minnow, sand eel, fry. This little fly will imitate most small, transparent fish. Based on a now-classical Danish sea trout fly with an added zonker strip, there is little new under the sun. But it does catch fish as pictures in the article will show you.

Bunny Leech

This is a steelhead pattern, normally made with black or purple rabbit. But with natural rabbit it makes a very good pattern for the coast. By cutting a narrower strip of rabbit and choosing natural colors a lighter dressing is achieved. Good for spring fishing and fishing in current like over reefs.

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.
