I’m looking forward to joining you all again this year. In Denmark, much of our fishing is saltwater fishing for sea trout, so this is where I started my fly-tying, together with nymphs and dry flies. Over the years I have been tying all kinds of flies, but my focus is now saltwater flies for sea trout, and salmon/sea trout flies for freshwater.
The focus in my fly-tying is to bring my experience as a fly fisherman, and to use the knowledge I gain when I’m fishing, to improve on the flies. Many of my flies I have in different versions. That way I have the properties in the fly I think would work in the different situations that I experience when I'm fishing.
At the show this year, I will bring some of my small zonkers, easy skandi style, and my west coast style that I use for salmon, and some of the coastal flies I use for sea trout. Those flies will be a mix of different techniques, some old and proven, others new and different.
I do a lot of tying classes, demoes, and talks about my fly-tying, and enjoying it all. I think fly-tying is best seen live, so drop by and have a chat about flies, fishing and the ideas that I use for my flies.
