SFB SANDEEL

Another great pattern from Sweden. This time a Sandeel

Many think that it is no idea fishing for Sea-Run Brown Trouts at summertime. FALSE. If the water is not to warm, which can lead to death of the fish when drilling it unnecessary long, it’s hightime to give it a try and catch fish in perfect condition. Try it at night in the shallows or daytime in the depth. When fishing daytime be my guest to try this sandeel-pattern – it will not disappoint You. Fish it as fast as You can – Tight Lines!

GOLIATH SHRIMP

Sometimes a big shrimp can do the trick. Despite the size, it’s transparent and not chunky. I wanted a bigger shrimp pattern with nice movement, where I can use the biggest feathers on a speycape. I decided not to palmer the hackle – the fly would have become too big and bulky – rather a rip bunches of fibers from the stem. Tying in the fibers that way gives the opportunity to give the head the shape wanted.

Magic Shrimp Pink

Another great super shrimp from Denmark…….

With Pink Magic Shrimp I wanted to make an eye-catching upside down fly. It is found in the original, bound by Swedish Jonatan Ternald, in beautiful brown and green colors, but I wanted to try to make a shrimp for the winter fishing. The rubber legs give it plenty of life in the water and with the weight load of tungsten it has a good walk in the water. Again used Raidzap to attach legs and shape the body with, concluding with a thin layer on the shrimp shell.
