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.

Fall/winter steelhead pattern for PNW. Swing fly. High contrast big flash.

(Step 9 is at end of instruction at step 14, this step should happen after step 8)

A Steelhead variant of Vince Aubin's Dolly Dynamite

Favourite mayfly emerger pattern. The foam really helps it stay afloat and lets you work with heavier body materials, or is perfect when you don’t have poly yarn lol.

✨ 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.

My favourite pink salmon pattern. Holds up fairly well to being backcasted into beach rocks

Love this fly for summertime prospecting. Kinda imitates lots of things, works well in my experience when larger caddis, stoneflies or grasshoppers are around

The only scud pattern I’ve really fished, it’s worked for me in bigger rivers and lakes for trout. Easy to add weight to it too.

✨ 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.

Great beach casting fly as the chain bead eyes will take a beating off the rocks. It also whistles as it's zipping past your head
