Everyone ties the Cinnamon Caddis because it's a popular fly in Europe. Countless models and methods to create this fly can be found on YouTube. However, I have my own way of tying it because I prioritise three things: achieving a perfect waterprint ensuring good floating in the water making the fly without relying on pretentious and ...
Here is a video about tying a perdigon nymph using this new tinsel from Hends: Pearlescent Quill. The result is excellent, I like how the colors change depending on how the light falls. I have noticed that the material can stretch a little, which leads to its thinning but also to the color change. My conclusion ...
I recently posted this video on Youtube about this sedge. I have received questions about why I am doing an under body. There are two reasons: I use kapok that does not soak in water and improves the floatability To give a little thickness to the body because insects also have a thicker, more consistent body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyKb6QCjH40&t=5s Tying ...

The Juicy Nymph is a highly effective yet simple fly that is easy to tie. This generic fly pattern imitates the olive-brown colored nymphs found in European waters, making it an excellent searching pattern that can attract both trout and grayling. One of the things I really appreciate about this fly is how simple it is ...
I like this pattern because it can be done on small and very small hooks. Then the body, which is elastic and soft, is also translucent. And last but not least, it is UV resistant. It is perfect for shy and cautious fish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faA2DKo8iyY Materials: Hook ST320 #16-20Thread: Red any you likeBody: Micro Wormy Body – killer redBead: Tungsten in metallic ...
Not the easiest way to make a nymph but winter is long and we have plenty of time to make a few. Making a semi realistic swimming nymph is super fun and not the last, the fly catch lots of fish. What is extraordinary about this fly is the material for the body, which in ...
The well known French emerger "La Peute" is a fabulous wet fly well known for how simple and efficient is. A version of it, as a nymph, is super simple and efficient for fishing in ginger clear waters. In the last 2 years I make it using dubbing because I noticed that trout love more ...
Here is a simple video about how I make a zonker streamer. Nothing fancy, just a simple and easy streamer.
