Danica Deer Hair Dun

First video in a series of 5 videos on imitations of the large Ephemera danica mayfly, which is fly fishing's national bird in the European mainland and on the British Isles.

Mar Lodge

Classic salmon flies doesn't need to be extremely complicated and projects of many hours behind the vice and use of expensive materials from a forgotten time. In this video we have our skilled friend Håkan Karsnäser behind the vice shoving his skills, tying one of the most famous classic salmon flies The Mar Lodge, originally by the master T.E. Pryce-Tannate. In this version Håkan ties it for the reason it was invented - for fishing and hopefully catching salmon... Happy tying.

Purple Rain

Morten Jensen combines flash, saddle hackles and functional design in this large but super light pike fly. Will hoover in the water column, and wiggle all the soft fibres. Just plain dynamite in the pike lake any time of year.

Iceman

The Iceman - a pattern by Michael Koch from Denmark. Michael has fished for salmon in Norway for the better part of 35 years, and over the last 20 or so years, Iceman has been a stable in his boxes. The fly also does well for sea trout in rivers all over Scandinavia. A good colour combination when there are fresh fish in the river.

GP Special

A take on the classic General Practitioner salmon fly.

Sunburst Zonker

A nice, bright zonker/muddler.

Seal's Fur Mysis

Small shrimp patterns like this Mysis is often a deadly weapon when fishing the coast for seatrout. In this video the talented danish tyer and flycasting instructor Lars Chr. Bentsen shows how delicate he can turn a hook together with some seals fur and a little flash into a super effective fly for hunting seatrouts in the early fall. Have a look and happy tying.

Y&O Dahlberg Diver

Tying deer-hair flies like mice, dahlberg divers, and all kinds of floating flies can be very difficult and a big mess of off deer hair. We are thrilled here at Ahrex that our good friend - the famous and extremely talented tyer Andreas Andersson - will show his tips and techniques on how to stack, tie in and trim a difficult fly like the Dahlberg Diver to perfection. Watch and learn from the master himself, tying his Yellow and Olive version of the deadly and beautiful popper.

Omø Børsten - The Omoe Brush

This is Allan's take on a classic Danish seatrout fly, designed by the late Ken Bonde Larsen. Allan’s fly as well as Ken’s original use the beautiful golden pheasant body hackles to great effect. The fly is meant as a ragworm imitation, but works well as a shrimp pattern as well.

Juicy Gammarus

Delicious little snack for seatrout fishing along the Scandinavian costline - or for river trout fishing. Tied on Ahrex NS172. Tied by Lars Chr Bentsen

Amber Shrimp

Does the world really need more shrimp patterns? Well… sure it does. And if for some reason you should doubt that statement, all you gotta do is check out todays fly tying sbs, where Danish fly tier and fly fisherman Morten Jensen ties his Amber Shrimp.

String Leech

String Leech tied as a tube fly - and featuring a cool little detail allowing the small trailer hook to stay close to the undulating zonker strip. For trout, salmon, steelhead and other predators. Tied by Allan Overgaard.

Sunburst Sonic Muddler

Tied by Morten Valeur. This version is one of Morten’s favourite flies for fall fishing for searun brown in the Scandinavian streams. It is tied on an Ahrex NS110 which is a relatively heavy hook. The added weight of the disc gives the fly a better balance – and the sonic disc sends out vibration and sound that makes the fly stand out in the current.

Craft Fur Streamer

Henrik Kure Nielsen tied this sculpin imitation targeting sea trout along the Danish coastline. Works fine all year round. He ties the fly to his leader with a loop knot, for increased movability.

Pheasant Matuka

Update on the classic Matuka style fly. Håhan uses this fly for trout fishing in fast running streams in Northern Sweden. Tied by Håkan Karsnäser

Partridge Express

Soft hackled wet fly designed for saltwater fishing for sea trout along the Swedish West coast. Tied by Håkan Karsnäser

Green Back Tiger

Large streamer for pike and musky. Tied by Morten Valeur on a light hook (Ahrex PR351 Light Predator Barbless) and with Fish Mask and Dragon Eyes from Flymen Fishing Company. Easy to cast but very much alive under water.

Ragdolly

Ragdolly - which is one of Andreas Andersson’s most popular streamer flies - is tied with a deer hair head that is cut flat on sides, top and bottom. That style of head enables the current to grip it – and add life to the whole fly. Most of the time Andreas fish Ragdolly on a sinking line or, occasionally, on a sink tip.

NV Banana Stinger

Stinger style fly tied on an intruder shank by Niels Verner Pedersen. This is a fly with lots of volume and action in the water - and it already has tempted salmon and sea trout. Should work like a charm for steelhead as well. The profile is build up using hair, dubbing and flash in two composite loops. The foam ear plug is for protection, Ahrex hooks are dangerously sharp :0)

CF FW Sandeel

Sand eel pattern for those days when sea trout of other saltwater predators chase these skinny and super fast baitfish on sand flats or gravel bars and drop-offs. Strip it fast and erratic - and hold on :0) Tied and filmed by Lars Christian Bentsen.

$5Shake

Large articulated streamer fly designed and tied by Swedish Oskar Hagelin. It has a large profile, is relatively easy to cast and has lot's of life and movement in the current. Designed for large predatory trout.

Krogsgaard No. 9

Classic wet fly tied by John Lind Rasmussen. The nine flies in The Krogsgaard Series are some of the most famous Danish flies, and was originated nearly hundred years ago. This series of flies was designed by Hardy Bros. England – but the British designs were based on a large survey of the insects that were common in Jutlandic streams hosting trout and grayling. Olaf Krogsgaard and J. Kr. Findal did this work in collaboration. This one, the No. 9 is probably the most popular fly in the series, and will catch trout, grayling, sea trout and salmon.
