f I had to make my first steps in nymph fishing and choose only two perdigon nymphs, I would start with one brown perdigon and one olive perdigon. Why these two colours? Because brown and olive are among the most natural and effective colours in rivers. Many aquatic insects have brown, olive or olive-brown tones, from ...
The Pheasant Tail Nymph is a fly with many variations. Today I would like to present one that I use and trust even more than the classic model with peacock herl. I like this version because it is slim, close to the silhouette of real insects, and extremely efficient in gin-clear waters, like those in Slovenia. ...
Dear friends, Today I want to show you one of my basic nymphs, a pattern I usually start fishing from April: the Pulsar Peeping Caddis. During this period I prefer nymph fishing, and the Peeping Caddis is one of my confidence flies. Over time, I developed this version to be as effective as possible when fishing around ...
Hi guys, These days I had to tie a few Grannom Caddis Nymphs for a friend from the UK. He told me that these simple flies are extremely effective on his local rivers in England and they work better than those made with dubbing ( I used Mojo Yarn in a strong green color). I tied ...
Hi guys, I would like to present a nymph that looks rather plain at first glance. What makes it interesting is the combination of materials used. The very spiky, buggy tying style—pushed almost to the extreme—is commonly seen among Czech and Slovak anglers who tie these flies for fast, cold waters, exactly like those we fish ...
Caddis flies are one of the most consistent and dependable food sources for fish. At the beginning of the season, together with mayflies, they become an important target for trout coming out hungry after the long winter. That is why I strongly recommend these flies during this period. So far, I have presented several caddis nymph ...
Two weeks ago we sent a newsletter to all Troutline customers explaining why the price of tungsten has increased so dramatically. For those who are not subscribed or may have missed that message, I decided to share the same information here on the blog, as we continue to receive many questions about these prices. First of ...
Hi guys, Two days ago I received part of the tungsten beads from the new Hanak range. The colours are beautiful, and the marbled effect looks more than attractive. I have already started tying a few flies with these beads. For the moment I have received only part of the models available from Hanak, but ...
Hi guys, After a long absence from my blog, here I am with a new nymph for the upcoming season, which will start in just a few weeks. Today I want to show you a very simple nymph to tie, but one that performs extremely well in cold and deep water. It’s the kind of fly you ...
Some time ago I tied a caddis pupa with a semi-free body. The idea was simple: to give the nymph more movement. I didn’t want it to behave like a small “rock” on the bottom, but to come alive under the influence of the current—moving in a way that can trigger interest even from the ...
