My favourite leech pattern for hanging under an indicator or dropper in rivers and lakes. You can substitute the goat dubbing for other coarse hairs.

✨ Prince Nymph ✨

A true royal in the world of trout flies 👑🐟. The Prince Nymph is a classic attractor pattern, known for its striking contrast of white goose biots, peacock herl body, and gold ribbing. Its bead head gives it just the right weight to get down into the strike zone quickly.

What makes it special?

It doesn’t perfectly imitate one insect — instead, it mimics many: stonefly nymphs, caddis pupae, and even mayfly nymphs. This versatility makes it a year-round confidence fly that fish can’t resist.

🎣 Pro Tip: Try different sizes depending on water conditions. Smaller sizes work well for finicky trout in clear water, while larger versions shine in faster, murkier runs.

My most commonly tied streamer, if only for ease of tying haha. Does it job as a bait fish imitation and sinks fast.

Sometimes hard to find good polar bear hair . Bucktail is close to polar bear material without the sheen . But add a few strands flashabou and you’re good to go . This is a great colour for coho and springs

✨ Atlantic Blue Charm ✨

Made by @HackleandHerls

A legendary salmon fly with roots deep in Atlantic Canada tradition. The Blue Charm shines on East Coast rivers, especially the world-famous Margaree River in Nova Scotia. Its sleek blue body, golden tail, and subtle wing create a timeless silhouette that’s irresistible to Atlantic salmon.

🎣 More than just a fly, it’s a connection to generations of anglers who have cast it into clear runs and watched silver flash from the depths.

📌 Pro tip: Fish it on overcast days or in clear summer flows when salmon get selective.

Super buggy shrimp pattern, tied to fish any water where shrimp live. I fish this on the coast of baltic sea in southern Finland. Tied to target seatrout, but works practically on any species that lives here. The color and size of this fly(approx. 5cm) makes this tasty treat to any fish I throw this for. This has even caught me northern pike. Tie on in your favourite color, any size you want. Easy, simple yet super effective.

A great buggy fly that mimics shrimp, crab, and small baitfish, making it perfect for inshore fly fishing.

Saltwater inshore fly that mimics small crabs, shrimps, and baitfish. This pattern is tied to mimic blue crabs, a favorite foraging item of redfish and black drum. However, it can be tied in any color way to mimic other crab and shrimp species.

A traditional style wet fly with not so much traditional colours!
