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 ...
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 ...
Most modern nymphs include a strong orange or pink hotspot just behind the bead. It works very well, but in clear water or on pressured rivers this bright collar can sometimes be too much, especially when grayling and trout inspect the fly closely. In this variation, I prefer a more discreet approach which I learned from ...
The classic Walt's Worm is already a simple and effective nymph, but this version brings two important upgrades that make it even more reliable on the water. First, the ribbing is made with UV Peacock Tinsel, which adds a fine sparkle and increases the fly's visibility in deeper runs or slightly colored water. This subtle ...

Of course, this fly can be tied with almost any material, but Mojo Yarn is especially suitable for small patterns. Tying tips: I highlighted the body segmentation by using nylon ...

For those who are not familiar with these feathers Coq de Leon feathers are world-famous for their unique speckled pattern, incredible sheen, and exceptional durability. Originating from the León region of Spain, these feathers have been used by fly tiers for ...
I recently got my hands on some Spanish rooster feathers that, I’d say, are identical to the famous feathers from the roosters of Făgăraș. So, yesterday and this morning, I tied a few traditional-style wet flies. I first heard about these flies from Victor Țaruș — an exceptional fly angler and writer — who told me ...
I’m excited to introduce the latest additions to our Mojo Yarn collection—now available in beautifully mottled brown and olive shades! These new colors add an extra level of realism, making them perfect for tying lifelike, natural nymphs that blend seamlessly into the underwater environment. Here a brown generic mayfly nymph tied with Mojo new brown color: Whether ...
When the season begins, visibility can be a challenge—murky water, snowy water. low light or too bright light, and fish still adjusting to changing conditions. That’s when a bright, high-contrast nymph can make all the difference. This Green Perdigon, tied by my Spanish friend Dudu Sanz, is a perfect choice and I used it several ...
