Small fish are eaten by bigger fish that just happen to be hunted by even larger monsters. The streamer game for trout is changing. If we go back a few decades very few fly fishermen tossed flies longer than 2 inches for trout. The tandem trolling streamer style from the Maine district was an exception – but these flies were – as the name implies – mostly trolled behind a boat and very seldom used for traditional fly casting and fly fishing. And part of that game was focused on landlocked salmon as well.

Orange Heron by John Rasmussen-03-2

3 x 2. You do the math :o) Anyway… we are pretty exited. Cause finally they are here! The two missing links in our Home Run Series have arrived- or 3 kind of, since one of the hooks comes in two different finishes. They are shipping to shops around the world as I write this. All three are double hooks. Two for tying and one for tube flies.

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.

Ahrex Hooks first workshop

Eltang-Kure-04-2

First off, we had a blast at the Danish Fly Festival in Kolding last week. And we want to thank everyone that dropped by our booth to take a look at the hooks and have a chat. Søren and I did a lot of talking, while our highly talented friends kept the fly tying wises hot – turning out some beautiful streamers, steelhead spey flies, salmon flies, saltwater flies, intruders and other cool stuff.

Celebrating the Home Run – new hook series out now

IMG_0963

In the world of angling one of the most amazing events is the annual migration of salmon, steelhead and sea run brown trout. Driven by instinct, will and sheer power these fish might battle hundreds of miles upstream against strong currents and rapids – making gravity defying jumps to reach the gravel bars of the spawning grounds. For the individual fish this effort serves one purpose: to get back to the stretch of river, where it started its life as a newly hatched fry.
