FLY TYING AND FLY FISHING VIDEO

In the second episode of Ten Rivers Trip you’ll join Kjell, Lukas and the dog Lilo on a trip during summer and fall to some of the most spectacular rivers in Norway. Also it turns out that three weeks out in the nature is the perfect medicine for a back that was injured during a hockey match earlier in the winter. Join a father and his son on a poetic fly fishing journey with nice wild trout, graylings and beautiful mayflies. English and Norwegian subs available.

A tribute to fly fishing, spring, the midge and everything beautiful in nature. This is the first episode of the Ten Rivers Trip mini series about a father, his son and a dog on a fly fishing mission that never ends. English subs.

The Europea 12 is a classic caddis pattern. Popular i Scandinavia and fished whenever there are caddis on the water. I created this variant in a tying sessong where I promoted the CdC and Elk Pattern (Hans Weilenmann). Having been fascinated by that design, I thought: why not update the Europea 12 with some fancy CdC and wild floating barbules. Here’s finally the fly tying video. The pattern is also found on my fly tying pages under the name The Rivendale Caddis.

I love Bob Wyatt’s Deer Hair Emerger. It fishes well troughout the season and on most hatces. I have however made some small but important improvements to the wing structure, so that it lasts longer and floats better (simply by cutting through the comparadun hair with the silk)

Actually I came up with this variant of a pretty standard mayfly emerger pattern a summer without much fishing luck. I made a few simple alterations to the choice of materials and whooops – the unfortunate first half of the season suddenly turned into fishing fortune and happieness.

This is one of my most important patterns for the BWO (E.ignita) hatch. It performs well both during emergence and when the fish turn selective on duns. Watch this easy to follow step-by-step video and tie yourself some trout candy.

The Blue Wing Olive (Ephemerella Ignita) is the last major mayfly hatch in Norway. The tiny bug may hatch as late as October and attracts large fish to the surface. This film is a journey into the BWO with great shots of the mayfly with some nice fly fishing situations.

Recorded during Ten Rivers Trip 2017 in the peak of what should have been a great fly fishing summer. Unfortunately heavy wind and cold weather ruined several of the summer hatches we were waiting for. Lukas did however catch a great big wild brownie – accompanied by a a great head-banging heavy metal tune.

The Large Dark Olive (Baetis Rhodani) is the first major mayfly hatch in rivers and streams in Norway. The bug loves bad weather, and boy did we have some of that when recording the beginning of the Rhodani spring hatch of 2017.

Midge and buzzer fly fishing in the high mountains in Norway is a blast. Waiting for the trout to attack a midge can be nerve wrecking. And when the fish takes, even the small ones will give a fantastic fight. Here’s an example of the thrill of late night still water fishing with midges and buzzers at Eltsjøen in Trysil.

An easy to follow SBS-video on a  great caddis pattern that will outfish most other adult caddis pattern, especially early in the season. Don’t ask me why, but try it and you’ll never regret tying and trying it. Heres more on this pattern.

One of the highs in the fly fishing season in Norway is when the Large Dark Olive (Baetis Rhodani) is hatching in spring. Here’s a little tale about the important mayfly that’s the most common in rivers and streams in Norway.

There are a bunch of fantastic patterns imitating the emerging mayfly (E. Danica). This is my pattern designed for those stretches of the river that runs slow and has clear and shallow water. Read this description of the pattern, or this article on the phenomenon or take a look at these artistic pictures of the adult Danica.

Every fly fisher knows it. The winter wait for the season to start can be a pain. Here’s a reflection of the wait with some great winter shots from the rivers that I fish during spring, summer and fall.

The suspense of fly fishing with a midge in a short film. Lukas lands a nice fish trout in the end.
