Easy to tie sedge

Ive been neglecting my blog lately, found myself tangled up in to much side projects.
Most of them are organized now :-)

Back to buisness;

Ive started a youtube channel, were you can find a video about this sedge.

(Still learning a lot about filming, photography, editing movie's, feel free to give some tips if you got any.)

Don't be afraid to tie this pattern on heavy hooks, the splashing when it hits the water tends to induce heavy takes. I like to fish this kind of pattern under and around trees or close to the edge against vegetation.
A variation is to tie a hotspot at the back: red, green, yellow,...
In the last step i like to use a spiky dubbing to make an easy and clean head.
Try them out, and let me know how they do in you're river.

Anti snagg streamers.

Just a simple idea ive been using for years now, don't know where is saw it first, but this is a suburb way to pull streamers thru the plants.















With the addition of weights you can balance the streamer and define the action.

People tie a lot of fly's but don't think about the action intended.
With very simple means, you can alter a fly without difficult steps.
I made a youtube video about a simple pattern and how to change the action.
It is so simple it can even be done at the waterfront.
Have fun watching and let me know what you think.

Its hard to find a good rhythm in life, and keep everything well balanced. Didn't find much time lately, but need to get started and keep going.

Ive done some show's lately, trying to help launch some new products, promoting fly fishing in general just because we need to get kids interested in a hobby that doesn't involve a touchscreen or a game console.
The beauty of nature, the silence when we fish, ............... we all know why we fell in love with flyfishing.

Here are just a few moments from the last couple of weeks.

Just a few of the hundreds ive tied

Didn't find much time lately to keep up the blog, currently working on a little project that is taking up more time than i anticipated.
I will be posting new patterns this week to keep you guys happy.
Trying to get some sbs pics done.
