This Friday the blog is going world travelling. We want to welcome a couple of new distributors, take a look at a remarkable catch – and we have a brand new fly tying video from one of our favourite Swedish streamer dudes, Andreas Andersson for you as well.
Pike season is on… even here in Denmark where the large predators are left undisturbed during the breeding period in April. Our top picture on this blog is from a fishing trip yesterday… so it is definitively fresh from the memory card in Morten Valeurs camera. The happy fly fisherman in

To say that tube flies are popular in Scandinavia will be the understatement of the year. It seems like tubes are everywhere. And they gain popularity in the rest of the world as well.

If you ask Scandinavian fly tiers what’s hot right now on the saltwater scene – chances are they will say: Shrimps. These crustaceans are so attractive that sea trout most often will hit a well presented shrimp fly – whether shrimps are abundant or not.
