The Scandinavian style of tying tube flies with several different wings, lengths and stiffnesses in the different materials as well as the full body is best demonstrated here by the skilled fly tyer and fly fisherman Casper Hansen who in this video shows one of the most popular Swedish salmon flies in recent times , namely Den Vanlige or The Usual, a fly that has countless beautiful catches on the conscience.
