Nighthawk Fox Wing
Related content
In this video we'll be tying an absolute classical Salmon pattern that's been around for more than 100 years and appeared to the world long before the 1900's started. This pattern is called the Nighthawk and has become famous worldwide. The author of the fly was Stanford White but he was often called the Nighthawk since he often tried to seduce young ladies at night. That ended though on the 25th June in 1906 where Stanford was murdered in a nightclub close to Madison Square Garden in NY. There's another great fact about the Nighthawk fly since it was Orri's Vigfússon favourite fly. Orri Vigfússon was the founder and chairman of NASF (North Atlantic Salmon Fund). Nighthawk as a fly is famous for many big salmons caught on it here in Iceland. Salmon fishing has developed a lot in the last 100ish years and new methods are used today, and fishing salmon has now become a thing to preserve the salmon as well. Any way the Nighthawk requires some tying skills to dress it pretty. The fly can also be tied as a streamer and work great like that for seatrout.

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.
