Sandeel patterns are an essential type of fly that should not be missing from the fly boxes of saltwater fly anglers. In this video, we have Morten Valeur, or "Mo," at the vise to demonstrate his favorite sandeel pattern: Mo's Sandeel. This is his go-to pattern for imitating sandeels, and it will undoubtedly work anywhere in the world where sandeels are present—which is in almost every saltwater environment. The key elements of this fly are its proportions and the way the materials are shaped and combined. Once you get those elements right, all that's left is to tie it in the size appropriate for your waters.
