Lap Dancer

One of my fusion sea trout patterns for salt water inspired by the many Danish patterns that use primarily grizzle hackles the Lap dancer has a couple of interesting techniques that you may not hav

Pseudo quill spider

An alternative technique for making substitute quill bodies in any colour that works excellent also for larger hook sizes.

Rackelhanen

This all synthetic adult caddis is one of Scandinavias most popular. An easy pattern with only one material that'll float all day long.

Flash back caddis larva

A quick and easy semi realistic caddis larva with a simple flash back and gills that fishes well, when you need to get down quick into that deep pocket water.

Keel mayfly nymph

An interesting departure from regular nymphs with an up-side down hook and a thorax bead keel for ballast and weight to get that nymph down fast.

Glow Bug

With a little preperation and a couple of tricks you can produce perfect Glow-Bug salmon eggs in just a matter of seconds, This is how!

Tying a dry fly hackle using any type of hackle

One of my new techniques for hackling with any type or size of hackle including partridge, wood duck, teal, Coq di Leon etc.

Awesome Opossum Shrimp

One of my semi realistic feather and fur salt water shrimps, that requires a couple of techniques but is relatively easy to tie.

Flatwing

This is a single hackle flatwing sand eel, that is a killer fly for sea trout here in Scandinavia and striped bass in North America. A real easy pattern to tie when you know how.

CdC GP Emerger

A CdC general purpose emerger that I tie in sizes from 12-20 all you need to do is change the colour to match the hatch of most small mayflies.

Green Drake

A simple but effective green drake pattern with a perfect foot print that will deliver in most situations.

Klipspringer Cripple

An elementary cripple/stillborn mayfly pattern for super selective trout.

Para Weld Caddis

A very different type of caddis with a couple of interesting techniques. This pattern lies very low in the surface giving it an extremely attractive footprint.

Blood worm

An elementary blood worm larva pattern that can work just about anywhere.

Hawthorn Fly

A little more challenging Hawthorn pattern to tie but a rewarding one both at the vice and on the end of the leader.

Dog Nobbler

I dont normally tie lures but this classic British lure from Sid Knight deserves a tutorial. Although tied for freshwater it has accounted for numerous sea trout in the salt for me.

Quill & Herl Emerger Midge

An easy midge emerger tied with stripped quill, peacock and ostrich herl and a little splash of CdC.

Irish style mayfly

I just love tying these traditional Irish style mayfly patterns, three hackles in a lovely mix of golden olive and green.

Damsel nymph

An up-side down still water / lake damsel nymph with a weighted abdomen fishes really well with an irresistible swimming action, especially when things are slow.

Foam & Cone Caddis

A cracking little pattern that always has a place in my trout fly box. The flat deer hair wing and foam head make it fish very realistically even when fished static.

Hatching Mayfly Nymph

A pattern to represent the larger burrowing mayfly nymphs when hatching.

CdC Wasp

A little black and yellow CdC wasp made with nothing but Cdc and some floss. Semi realistic and floats all day, when the wasps die in late summer early autumn this pattern is a must.

Bunny Bugger

A super simple bugger technique using zonker or cross cut strips that only takes a few minutes to tie.

Palomino & Partridge Midge

A midge with a twist. This little dry midge is equiped with a buggy partridge parachute hackle that gives it a spider quality. A great little river pattern.
