Olive Damsel



Olive Damsel  Modificed

The first picture is a classic olive damsel pattern who had caught alot of fish around the world. But this fly had a "dead" action in the water so I would tie a modificed version of this classic pattern.

And I did.

I did make the Golden Olive Damsel who have a perfect action in the water.
With a tail tied of marabou with windings, a body of olive hares ear dubbing, some lead wire, a pair of nymph eyes and over thorax i've tied some olive angelhair.
This fly is especially good for steelheads and grass carps!

Deep Dive Caddis

Bead Head Caddis
A new killers is born!
I tied this as a allround nymph for smaller streams as well as lakes all over Scandinavian. Specialized for brown trout and greylings.  The fly is tied with olive dubbing, CDC feathers. pheasant tail fibres and a copper bead head. The hook is a hand crafted Mustad hook size 10.

I have alot of inspiration to tie new patterns
 in these days. This is just one
 of my new creations.

No1

As I said. I've been fly fishing for several years now.
This rainbow trout (the right one) was the first fish I caught with a fly rod. The other trout was caught with my 7 feet spinning rod and a Mepps 3 copper with red dots.
