This winter I have worked on a new project to preserve historic flypatterns and information: flypattern.org
It has been live for a little while now, so head over to the http://flypattern.org/about section for a introduction to the site and why I have built it.
Got a couple of orders for Jock Scott – to be fished here in Norway. One of them was a specific request: a standard JS, but with a heron hackle instead of the called-for black hackle. I think it turned out very good, and I now need to tie up a couple of this variant for my Gaula fishing in July!
I have been waiting for a Golden Plover skin for a very long time, but this week it finally arrived! The color and pattern on the head/neck of this bird really lends itself to a spider pattern as this.
The small spiders and flymphs will get a section in the flybox this year for more active fishing.
Tied up some The Major for fishing on a fair last weekend – large #5/0 Mustad hooks that will get to swim early in the season
Childers – a pattern I have tied both for presentation and for fishing before, but never tied in hand. Will tie up with this style for fishing as well, to go with a box I’m building up for the ASFI later this summer.
The hook is a approx #5/0 from Flemming, a beautiful hook to tie on – the finish on it is just exquisite!
