Body Hackle: Veniard Chinese Cock Cape Doctor Blue
Wing: Blue & Green Fox, Green Flash
Sides: JC

I often sit down and try to see how colors blend together and try to figure out how they will work. Many times I get the inspiration from other tiers on facebook, G+, forums and so on: I see some hook or pattern and I get a idea on what I want to do. Lately I have looked at a lot of dee flies and done a lot of big-wing tubes, so I try to mix it up like this: the concept of long body hackle and a hair-wing.

This one I will bring with me when I go seatrout fishing

Red Spider

Hook: TMC 100BL #12
Thread: UNI 8/0 Red
Body: UNI Floss Red
Thorax: Peacock
Wing: Guinea Fowl

Spider flies is on of those patterns that I haven’t fished much with, but that I believe will work very well for my trout streams when summer comes, so while snow is pouring down (again…) I tie up some variations of this

Pheasant Tail

Posted on 2 January, 2014 by Håvard Eide allen lead pheasant tail sheer tungsten utc

Hook: Allen S402BL #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: Pheasant Tail, UTC Wire gold
Thorax: Spikey dubbing, Lead, spikey dubbing, Pheasant tail
Bead: Tungsten Bead 3.0mm flysite.co.nz

My order of tungsten beads from flysite.co.nz came in over christmas, I have only had gold/silver/black beads before so this time I ordered in some additional colors to see how they turn out. The pheasant tail is very easy to tie up and is one of those patterns you should have available if you target trout. It is also a pattern you can vary a lot: this one is weighted with lead in addition to the tungsten bead, but you can make it slim, light, fat, long, small and vary in the dubbing for the thorax (as I have done on these): keep some different variations with you on the river.

Yellow Mayfly

Posted on 6 November, 2013 by Håvard Eide allen mallard mayfly pheasant sheer uni

Hook: Allen D103BL #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Yellow
Tail: Golden Pheasant
Body: UNI-Floss Br.Yellow, UTC Ultra Wire Silver
Wing: Two Mallard Flank feathers
Hackle: Whiting Bronze

For my first fishingtrip to northern Norway I bought a big, bright, yellow Mayfly that, when I got it in my mailbox, was so big I would never think it would actually fish (this was in my first year as a flyfisher). Yesterday I was going through some boxes and found it again: I did fish it, and I did get fish on it, but I had forgotten about it.

This pattern has the big mallard flank wings that can easily spin when throwing, but for shorter casts and in the right hatch this fly will be great to have available!

Two things with this attempt:

the flosswork in front of the tail – you can see the thread
the wings should have had a better split to see that there are indeed two mallard feathers tied in

Two versions with different tails:

Green, Yellow & Red Tag

Hook: Daiichi 2546 #6
Thread: UNI 6/0 Black
Tail: Orange Dyed Golden Pheasant Tippets
Tag: UNI-Floss
Butt: Black Ostrich
Body: UNI-Mylar #10 Gold/Silver
Wing: White Foxtail, Peacock
Throat: Orange Dyed Golden Pheasant Tippets

A quick and nice pattern tied primarily for salt, but will work just fine in a river targeting trout and grayling. Testing out different tag colors to see how they turn out.

One big family ready to take out once the weather clears up!
