Baitfish imitations are a must-have in the box of everyone chasing the fish of their dreams. Even the largest and most selective trout in the river can sometimes be fooled by a well-fished fish imitation, and when we talk about fishing in salt water, baitfish imitations must not be missing at all. We have had a visit in the studio of the Danish fly tyer and fly fisherman Jesper Lindquist Andersen, who demonstrates his take on an effective imitation of sandeels. A few sparse materials make this fly to be tied down to smaller sizes which has proven very effective on quiet days where the fish can ..read more

Few things can make the trout along the Scandinavian coasts as selective as when the large swarms of ragworms appear when the water get warmer after the cold winter. The abundance of food can make the trout super difficult, but not impossible to trick into taking the fly – but it requires a fly that in colour and movement resembles the original. In this video, we have had the Danish fly tyer and fly fisherman Jesper Lindquist Andersen to demonstrate his take on an effective imitation of the ragworms. The combination of lightly weighted belly and a floating back part on the fly, makes the fly a ..read more

Big fish have become big by being careful and have found good spots to hide in the water from dangers. In this video, we have had the Danish fly tyer and fly fisherman Mads Pedersen in the studio to demonstrate his favourite fly for fishing for large sea trout in his local Danish rivers and streams. The inspiration comes from Landon Mayer’s Mini-Leech, and has proven to work perfectly when the large sea trout hide among the snags and vegetation in the Danish rivers. The movement of the wing, together with the up-side-down effect of the jig fly hook, allows the fly to be fished deep and can sli ..read more

The search and dream of big trout, is always on mind of every fly tyer and fly fisher. Often we dream of big trout delicately sipping dry flies on the surface, but a much easier way of getting in contact with a big trout is by using big “baits”. And the fly in this video must be called a big bait! American fly fisher and fly tyer Brad Urbas is the man behind this articulated streamer – tied for making a realistic appearance in the water of a swimming baitfish, and to get the attention of both small and big trout. Brad himself has recorded and edited this nice video – thanks for the video Brad ..read more
