Here is a video about tying a perdigon nymph using this new tinsel from Hends: Pearlescent Quill. The result is excellent, I like how the colors change depending on how the light falls. I have noticed that the material can stretch a little, which leads to its thinning but also to the color change. My conclusion ...
I recently posted this video on Youtube about this sedge. I have received questions about why I am doing an under body. There are two reasons: I use kapok that does not soak in water and improves the floatability To give a little thickness to the body because insects also have a thicker, more consistent body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyKb6QCjH40&t=5s Tying ...
I present to you a sedge model that I really like because I learned to tie it when I was a beginner, many many years ago. It is a fly that floats very well, is easy to tie and is efficient on the water fast and very fast. In addition, it can also be used ...
Do you need inspiration? If you don't know what fly to tie or what to try, it's no problem, I propose a relatively simple fly to make with simple and readily available materials.Now in the water, because the heat has come and summer has started, it is full of small insects like Baetis, Mayflies, Heptageniidae, ...
A new hook model is available in the TroutLine store: Demmon XTreme T6 BL Jig Hook. It is a jig type hook with a high quality carbon steel and a very sharp point. The design makes this model interesting: the eye of the hook is in a plane perpendicular to that of the hook shank and ...
In the morning, we woke up feeling like we had just won the lottery - that is, if the lottery prize was a copious breakfast and hot coffee. We were in a state of lethargy and well-being, which was fortunate because it was cold outside and we didn't want to move too fast anyway. Jan ...
First off, let me just say that I'm not exactly Shakespeare when it comes to English. I learned the language on the fly, and only after I graduated from school. Back in the "good ol' days of communism", foreign languages weren't exactly a hot commodity. If you were good at math or physics, the language ...
Do you know how many types of wax are used by tiers? Wax is like music, a matter of taste. Some like it to be sticky, others to be hard, others to be soft and apply it with their fingers. Others hate to have excess wax because it would spoil the shape or color of ...
Here is a small video about making nymph gills. I started more than 10 or 15 years ago doing them, it is fun but it takes around 8-10min to make a fly. Quite time consuming! Anyway it is interesting a pleasure to make it if you have the proper materials. I prefer to use Troutline ...
This is something that you should have if you have in mind to catch barbel with nymphs. This type of worm in red seems to be highly appreciated by this fish, a secret shared by a friend of mine from Czech Republic. Of course you can make it using white latex or pink latex ...
