Ahrex – Mo’s Sandeel – tied by Morten Valeur
Sandeel patterns are a very important type of fly, and may not be missing in the fly boxes of saltwater fly anglers. In this video we have ‘Mo’ – or Morten Valeur behind the vise to demonstrate his favourite sandeel pattern – the Mo’s Sandeel. This is his “go-to-pattern” for imitating sandeels and it for […]
Surefire Midge by Barry Ord Clarke
Flyfish Europe AS: Another great pattern and fly tying instructional video by Barry Ord Clarke – One of those simple patterns that never seems to fail.

Ahrex – Dubbelmacka – tied by Håkan Karsnäser
Czech nymphing is spreading all around the world and has gained a very big popularity. The method is also called Euronymphing and the idea is to fish a very heavy fly – or several flies on the leader as deep as possible, right where the fish are staying and feeding.

Ahrex – Pro Adult Stonefly – by Morten Coastfly
A must-have-in-the-box for trout anglers all over the world is the large (but also smaller) imitations of stoneflies – few flies like these can fool even the largest and critical fish to take, as long as the presentation is correct. Fly fishermen – and tyers – can often go with less complicated flies, but for […]
