I bring flies for every possible kind of fishing situation that I may participate in during my stay in Norway – Salmon, sea-run Arctic char, sea trout – I obviously also bring a larger amount of fly tying material so I can try and test new material, fly patterns and variations of the flies we all use.

A series of the Morrish Mouse fly tied on the tube – The Morrish Mouse is a famous Canadian surface fly on rainbow trout rivers. The Morrish Mouse pattern was originally devised by master fly tier and manager with Fly Water Travel. Mr Ken Morrish

Tube flies is the big thing in Europa and salmon, trout and Northern pike anglers will readily use tubes for many different fly patterns. Not only do the tubes allow anglers to make big light pattern that is easy to cast on light fly fishing equipment, but the tube fly also gives the angler new ways of presenting the fly as something unique.

Tube fly for difficult situations

As I write this post, I have just returned from an evening fishing at the mouth of the river where I fish – Salmon had just entered on the 6 o’clock tide and as the water was pulling back to the sea. Small and big salmon were settling near the big rocks on the river bed.

As the water is only a few feet deep, I use tube dry flies; tiny Frances shrimp flies and single hook wet fly patterns like Blue Charm and Undertaker in # 12… Today the fish was unwilling and a cold northerly wind blew in from the sea… In such difficult situations, most anglers will pack up and leave. Still, I brought out tiny clear-bodied tube flies with wings made of a few hairs from silver tippet squirrel – I call it the V-FLY, and I fish this micro tube fly as a riffling hitch pattern – Riffling hitch pattern can work wonders in such unfriendly conditions. I soon had the first fish turning for the fly, and almost every fish settling in the shallow pool tried to grab the fly.  Two fish to the tiny V-FLY an hour later had turned this bitterly cold evening into a fantastic day of salmon fishing.

We produce some of the best tubes for tube flies.

As tube fly fishermen, we appreciate perfect tubes for our fishing and fly tying, and we have used countless hours with plastic manufacturers to get the tubes perfect for tube fly production. Most tubes bought in fly fishing shops are made for different purposes than flies and fly fishing. Still, the tubes designed with Fishmadman fit the bill – One such tube is our tube designed for riffling hitch flies such as the simple V-FLY – This is a flexible tube made from a PVC free Polyethylene formula that will hold many different size hooks – withstand harsh weather conditions and a lot of mechanical wear and tear.

Om Sneel`s Vindue

Den tekniske betegnelse for den måde hvorved livet under vandet  ser tingen oven vande kaldes Snell`s Vindue. I følge denne viden ser fisk ting på overfladen, igennem en kegle med en brede på 96 grader. Det er  i kanten af denne kegle at vi ønsker at placere vores lakseflue – Kanten af keglen er således også et sted hvor fisken kan se og blive skræmt af vores forfang. Da vinklen på keglen er ca. 45 grader vil man nogenlunde kunne beregne hvor kanten af Snell`s Vindue er. En lille beregning vil f.eks vise at; en fisk der står på bunden på 6 fod`s dybde (1.8 meter) vil man have kanten af Snell`s Vindue 6 fod foran sig…

Fiskeri med tørflue var ikke ikke godt hele sæsonen igennem…Men nogle uger bød Norge på perfekte forhold. Her har forfatteren haft den tvivlsomme ære at; fange denne 6.5 kg. super stærke laks på en hvid Tube Bomber™ lakseflue  …Problemet med denne fisk er at; det er en undsluppen bur-laks… Derfor den deforme rygfinne, de mange pletter og den lille hale. I sandhed en fisk non grata

Vinder; Hr. Terry Byrne Med en af mange store Newfoundland laks

En særlig tak fra os på Fishmadman, til alle fluefiskere der deltog i vores lille sports-event. – Vi håber i vil check ind og se nogle af de historier og fotos sportsfiskere har sendt os denne sommer/efterår – I år  fik vi desuden breve om: fantastisk tørfluefiskeri efter land-locked laks…der efter sigende, var fuldstændigt vilde for at, bide på Monster Tube Caddis ™. Måske en ide til efterfølgelse, hvis du fisker i f.eks. Klarälven – Vi håber at kunne bringe dig historier om dette interessante fiskeri efter laks..

Den fænomenale Exploite elv… Stor som Namsen – lavvandet som Repparfjord elven…Fuld af laks… Et paradis for tørfluefiskere

Et besøg ved den 240 km. lange Exploit elv var en fantastisk oplevelse: 50 000 + Atlanterhavs laks går op i denne sublime flue-fiske elv, hvilket gør den til en absolut top destination for tørflue fiskere… denne elv er spået til at have en opgang på 100 000 laks om ganske få år. Vil du planlægge en tur til dette vidunder af en elv ? – Kontakt Bill Bryden via:  Eureka outdoors

FISHMADMAN competition 2011

 

Thanks to all anglers taking part in our small 2011 sporting event… We hope you will check in to see the stories of some people who wrote to us – This summer, we also got reports on some super landlocked salmon fishing from Newfoundland…We hope to bring you more on this intriguing form of salmon fishing soon. .

Newfoundland trip!

This summer, The Fishmadman team made a short trip to Newfoundland to see how the fishing was done in the cradle of dry fly fishing – We did so with guide Mr Bill Bryden from Eureka Outdoors – and had some fantastic fishing days… Timing was not perfect, and we came in between the different run of fish: Too early for the big salmon – and too late for the big grills run. But fishing and rivers were staggering. We hope to bring you a full story on Newfoundland when winter is at its worst – and your longing for the riverbanks is at its greatest.

 New!  We will be making a set of Micro CDC Bombers. See them in the shop

A visit to the Exploit River was a tremendous experience… 50 000 + salmon enter this great fly-fishing river making this a prime destination for dry fly anglers… The river is foreseen to become a river of 100 000 salmon in just a few years. For fishing inquiries for the Exploit River, contact Mr. Bill Bryden through Eureka Outdoors.
