Tropical fly fishing can hardly be wild and violent enough… but one of the fish species you can encounter on the tropical flats, that can test the gear to the maximum and can make adult men cry mus

Caddisflies are an important food source for the trout and grayling in many lakes and rivers - and other fish species, of course.

Floating flies fished on the surface is one of the most exciting methods and the sight of a large aggressive predatory fish attacking the fly in a big splash can almost give the fisherman a heart a

When you combine two of the most well-known and effective flies for saltwater fly fishing, you can't go wrong...

Originally, the Creme Brulee fly is a salmon fly tied on a tube and in the family of pot belly pigs or Frances flies, which have the characteristics of a short and compact body (often weighted) and

Spent spinners are the last and final stage of mayflies and beatis'.

It's quite simple - baitfish flies are just super effective for getting the attention of predatory fish - and here is an excellent example of a "fish-finder".

A small baitfish imitation can either be super realistic with fins, scales, eyes, gill covers etc.

This simple fly for coastal flyfishing is the talented German fly tyer Oliver Oelze's offer for a superb all-round fly for hunting sea trout along the coasts at autumn.

Neutral baitfish imitations, or variants in the colors green/chartreuse or blue are a "must-have" in the fly box, and can be a very effective fly type in both fresh and salt water.

Up-side down flies can be super effective and especially for imitations of sandeels they can be a big hit.

We have shown the Pattegris several times in different variants on our YouTube channel.

There is not much that can match the sight of a fish elegantly sipping one's fly on the surface - but it could be matched by the sight of a large fish aggressively attacking a fly that is being pul

As fly tyers, we often try to imitate the fish's natural food items - sometimes we tie flies that provoke the fish and other times we tie super-realistic imitations where it can be very difficult t

Here in Scandinavia we have one of the largest members of the entire caddis family - the Phryganea Grandis which can be as big as five centimeters.

The Matuka style of flies originates from New Zealand and unlike traditional feathe-winged flies, the Matuka flies are characterized by the feathers being secured with a rib along the hook shaft -

Caddisflies are perhaps one of the most important food-sources in freshwater for trout and graylings - both as nymphs and hatched insects.

Once again we had the skilled flytyer and flyfisher Neil Darling behind the vice tying another one of his beautiful and elegant flies - Neil says about the fly: "The original idea to add “bling” an

The movement of the fly often has a very big impact on the fly and its ability to fool the fish.

A small sparse-tied neutral-colored baitfish imitation can be super effective when the hunt takes place with streamers for predator fish especially the ones hunting small baitfish.

This is not a traditional Irish Lough Mayfly pattern as it is dressed in a lighter manner than it’s big wave surfing cousins.

The largest mayfly in Scandinavia are the Ephemera Danica and it’s stillwater relative, the E. vulgata. They are the same size, and the Vulgata tend to be a little darker than the Danica.

This pattern is based on Steve Thornton’s Ammonite nymph dressing, a real favourite amongst many tyers and fly fishers alike.

The movement of the fly and the disturbance in the water is the key to trigger predators. A fly that pushes the water is the big effort in flies tied “Buford-style”.
