Tying sbs and underwater footage of a streamer design mixing arctic fox hair and Woolly Sparkle Dub. With an internal glow from a maroon colored glass bead and the flatbraid body material – this fly is transparent – and the super soft materials breathe like marabou. I use this fly in the salt for sea … Continue reading "Sparkle Fox – steelhead, salmon and seatrout fly tying – tied by Michael Jensen"

Rasmus works with blends of natural and synthetic dubbings to get a buggy and textured but still flashy body on the fly. He … Continue reading "AHREX – Spey CDC Shrimp – tied by Rasmus Post Ottesen"

Part Woolly Bugger and part Fuzzy Wuzzy. Started out as a Woolly Bugger tied with the cool speckled Whiting Coq De Leon hen feathers. But since the best part of these feathers were to short for the palmer hackle on larger hook sizes – i started using the Fuzzy Wuzzy style with 2 seperat hackles. … Continue reading "Fuzzy Bugger – streamer fly tying – tied by Michael Jensen"
