A few days ago I went in Slovenia with two friends and TroutLine team members to test some flies on Soca and Idrijca rivers. We planned to fish 3 days on these beautiful but difficult rivers and to make a new selection of flies for starting season. The weather was not the best, ...
A curious friend asked me about my nymphs for trout fishing, especially those used when fishing season starts. Being a beginner, he asked me to share those flies if is not a secret. Of course it wasn't a big secret :) and I gave him my list with flies. After, I was thinking how can I ...

Simple is sometimes imperative if you want to catch trout . For Spring fishing in lakes or deep pools with muddy water bank, midges and larvae in red are probably the most efficient pattern. Red can be made of floss, catgut, synthetic materials, uv resin colored in red or even mylar red strips. Here is ...

Tying Recipe: *Demmon W633 #12 *Purple thread *Neck made of peacock 2-4turns *Hackle - Partridge grey selected, 2 turns. Its is probably the simplest wet fly to tie.

All of them reported great catch and great moments, lots of trout and grayling The combination of colors ...
