I discovered this combination of colors while fishing on the rivers of Lapland. It works very well there. I don't know what the reason is, but compared to other colors, peacock green-blue proved to be incredibly effective. So here it is: Hook: Demmon 633 #16 Body: Troutline Perdigon Skin Small -PSM1 Thread: Veevus 14/0 Orange Tail: Coq de Leon Pardo ...
When it comes to small and medium, delicate flies that float well, look great on the water, and are perfectly presented in front of the fish, nothing can match CDC flies. Why? Because CDC is elastic and doesn't bend like rooster feathers or deer hairs. It easily washes off mucus and maintains perfect buoyancy. The ...
Everyone ties the Cinnamon Caddis because it's a popular fly in Europe. Countless models and methods to create this fly can be found on YouTube. However, I have my own way of tying it because I prioritise three things: achieving a perfect waterprint ensuring good floating in the water making the fly without relying on pretentious and ...
Big tungsten beads are good because they help the fly to sink quickly. But the lack of proportion and the exaggeration of its size lead in a short time to the education of the fish. They will more quickly avoid flies with large balls that are usually too shiny.This is why I ended up tying ...
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 ...
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. You can find it throughout the Carpathian Mountains and in the Alps. As a result, it is a fly commonly encountered in Austria, Italy, Slovenia, as well as in ...
The Ammeran River is one of the most beautiful rivers in the Jamtland area, renowned for its abundance of grayling and trout. With a length of approximately 70km and widths ranging from 40m to 80m+, it originates from the Hammerdal lake and gracefully flows into the famous Indalsälven river. The Ammeran River offers a stunning ...
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. Why kapok? Because it floats exceptionally well and traps air bubbles. All fishermen know that emergers imitate insects with a part of their ...
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 ...
