These fly patterns are incredibly heavy, even without using large tungsten beads. I incorporated tungsten wire behind the bead, effectively doubling the final weight. The model itself is simple, without any complications. It is specifically designed for slightly colored waters with increased flow, where the fish feed more actively, gathering insects washed in by the ...
CDC Cinnamon Caddis
This is the way I like to tie the Cinnamon Caddis. This fly represents one of the most abundant sedge patterns flying in Transylvania and beyond.

Kapok CDC Emerger
If you love fishing with emergers, then you should tie this fly. The Kapok CDC Emerger is tied based on the classic Shuttlecock pattern, with the difference lying in the material used: kapok.

Video -Tying a multicolour Perdigon with Hends Pearlescent Quill
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 ...
Video -Tying an Egg Laying CDC Sedge
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 ...

Here is a version of the famous Yellow Sulfur Din mayflies. What is interesting about her is that the body is made with UV Pearl Body Quill from Hends. With all this craziness with UV reflective materials, I decided to make such a model myself. The fly will catch fish, it is not to be contested, ...
New Body Pearlescent Quill from Hends
Hends came this year with a new tying material: Body Pearlescent Quill. I didn't really have time to study it, but these days I managed to take some colors and make some flies, more precisely some nymphs and a few dry flies. The material is a new version of the older and already classic Body Quill. ...
