Vegen Special

No comments yet

Once again we have had one of the "grand old masters" in Denmark when it comes to flyfishing and flytying - Laurits Flowbinner - behind the vice. In this video Laurits ties his all-time-favorite: The Vegen Special.

"One of the best flies I have ever created back in 1979. Fished high in the water or deep doesn't matter. It has proven its worth in both Denmark, Ireland and nothern Scandinavia with splendid results for trout and graylings - my favorite "no. One Fly" Laurits explains about The Vegen Special.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

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.
