That was early morning. Our camp was near a big river turn where was a place full of monster pike! They where looking more like crocodiles, not fish anymore. We where hoping to catch some specimen, but our efforts were fruitless. After about forty minutes I decide to change the fly and the yellow one with some white...
The first this style fly was tied in these colors: bright green and red. It's still the main fly we use. Pikes lose their minds when they see this color. Most of the times we start the day with this fly and don't change it into any other as it works perfectly. Sure, there are days when other colors...
Worldwide famous fly that catches fish everywhere. As you all know, it was designed by Hans van Klinken, inovative Dutch (not Danish!!!) flyfisherman. Just as every successful fly, it does not imitate anything in particular, but it represent some living creature that is emerging out of the water. Due to it's high and visible wing, it's seen even from...
There can't be simpler dry fly than this one. Only three materials, a minute or two and you get a fly that catch fish. It's easy to change the color and match bugs in your area.
By the way, we personally made a conclusion that CDC flies are not very versatile. The main reason for that is it's short lifetime. One fly...
Red Tag stays Red Tag even in Africa. It's perfect fly: simple, good looking, very versatile, can be tied dry, wet or nymph, and it is in every fisherman's box. Well, not every, but there are some, who fish only Red Tag. They even tie them on big hooks and fish streamers! We always have at least a dozen...
Well, it's one of the best wet flies we use. The first version of it was tied in 2007 and it's called in Lithuanian word "Pilka", witch means Grey. Sure, when it's wet, the color of the body changes into dark brownish grey and the color of the hackle and head is rusty brown, but the wing remains grey....
Black Zulu is an old traditional fly that dates around XVII age. Traditionally, it has been used as a loch pattern in Northern England, Scotland and Ireland. It's still used there and is very popular. The original fly is tied with a palmer hackle as it has to be bushy enough to attract fish in a lake. But fish that live...

Original Muddler Minnow was first tied by Don Gapen in 1937, Minesota, USA to imitate local sculpins. The fly was tied using mottled turkey for the tail and wings, but during the years lots of variations emerged. And this particular fly is tied using bucktail for winging. This material is sturdy and creates more vibrations in the water. In...
Everything is the same as in olive muddler, just with a small addition of feather. Now it's sexier and looks more like sculpin.
Viskas tas pats kaip ir alyvuoginiame mudleryje, tik tiek, kad pridėta plunksna sparne. Dabar raštas primena kūjagalvio kūną.
