Thomas , as you know, is a fantastic fishermen and an extremely talented tier. He is fishing for trout and big grayling using his beautiful  sedge flies. He recommend this fly to be used in the parts of the rivers with super fast flowing currents. On the calm currents this fly can be fished with short strips to induce the attack of the fish.

Materials used:

• Demmon D400BL #12-16
• Thread: any kind you like
• Body and legs made of Troutline Deer Hair
• Abdomen made of cdc fixed in split thread and tied under the deer hair

The fly was created by Thomas Roos based on the classic Goddard Sedge. Thomas modified the original pattern in order to meet his local needs ( long casts without twisting the leader, super floating properties, great presentation and water print and easy to hook a fish)

The fly is highly recommended for fast flowing rivers where wild trout and grayling are hunting the Summer sedge flies!. Thomas tying skills are impressive,  if anybody is interested in his flies,  please contact him on facebook 🙂

This fly is a fantastic model for fishing in fast flowing torrents and rivers. It was developed  after years of experience and practice by Roberto Groppetti, a famous Italian tier which is also  member of Troutline Pro Team.

What I personally love is how deer hair is applied as hackle. The technique is mastered in a way that you  don’t see very often!

Materials:

• curved emerger type of hook in size #10-14
• thread black 8/0- or 6/0
• body: pheasant barbs
• ribbing: gold wire tinsel
• hackle: deer hair colored and natural
• wing axe- antron fixed to stay straight

Our Pro from Sweden Johan Ivemyr propose us this beautiful sedge. Seems to  be a complicate sedge but in fact  is not so difficult to make it. With our thoughts at next Summer,  this model can be an interesting fly for the next season:)
