This Vaskebjørn pattern can be tied with or without eyes, but I had to get some eyes on them to see how they turned out. The eyes also give it some extra weight that can be helpful in some situations – considering to tie up this in #4/#6/#8 and with/without a little bit of lead to make some of them even heavier if I need to get the fly down.

This is a well known pattern here in scandinavia for seatrout, but I have never tied it up before. I got a new Rooster Saddle from Whiting yesterday and since I’m heading out for some fishing tomorrow it was time to get this pattern a go. Not quite after the original recipe, but close enough to the video from Eivind Berulfsen. The hackle will give this a very vibrant flow in the sea, and together with the red seal fur it will be a killer!

Got some spey hackle from whiting today and had to give it a testrun. This is the first time I have worked with spey hackle, and it takes some getting used to. I really like the spey style flies and will tie up more of these to get used to using the spey hackle in different situations.

Body Hackle: Schlappen White & Grey
Throat: Spirit River Spey Hackle Bright Blue
Side: The Fly Co Ringneck Kingfisher Blue, JC
Wing: Veniard Mallard Duck Bronze Shoulders Medium

With the theme “sky is the limit” I started with the blue as a center piece and decided to got for a spey-style fly composed around blue/white/grey. This is the first spey-style fly I have done and I think the colors and flow of it came out ok. The Wing could be a bit flatter, but I did have some issues tying them in.
