Fishmadman nyhedsbrev

Jesper Fohrmann

Hej overfladefisker … Jeg har meget at skrive om denne gang, da jeg har måtte udsætte nyhedsbrevet på grund af belastningsskader i mine hænder og arme. Heldigvis har disse forhold ikke holdt mig fra mit fluefiskeri eller arbejde med design i fluebindeafdelingen ? og vi er sikre på, at du vil kunne lide nogle af de fluer og ideer, vi har til dig denne gang.

Stram line fra os på Fishmadman – Jesper & Per

Nyhedsbrev denne gang

Vi har skabt en super hitch-flue… Hitchman

Atlantic salmon on riffling hitch tube fly

I løbet af de 40 år, jeg har bundet fluer til laksefiskeri, har jeg kun lavet en eller to fluer, som jeg vil kalde super-gode og værd at sætte i en anden laksefiskers flueboks, så det er med glæde og en følelse af stolthed at vi kan afsløre en ny serie af riffling hitch-rørfluer, der bestemt passer til beskrivelsen som: en super flue.

Her en af mange sommerlakser, der havde lyst på Hitchman-fluen

Hitchman-serien undervejs Måske kun et ekstra glimt i vandet?

Gennemsigtig og iriserende

tube for riffling hitch

For at opnå et subtilt udtryk har jeg svejset små strimler af holografisk materiale på vores klare plastrør, dette giver en gennemsigtig flue med skinnende flanker. Vi har ikke farvet rørene på foto, det er faktisk det holografiske folie, der spejles i plastrøret og tilføjer fluerne generelle farveeffekt.

Iridescent pixels… a great detail on the new riffling hitch flies

I have sins the 90´s used these iridescent pixels for my sea trout flies and lureres. Applying this shimmering material to the heads of the Hitchman tube flies gave the fly a unique visual balance and unity look for this great surface fly.

Hvordan?

Pixel flagerne findes i flere farvenuancer og fungerer forskelligt på forskellige farve baggrund, jeg har haft det bedste resultat på en sort baggrund.

Jeg bruger super-lim som afsluttende lak på hovedet på fluerne og drysser de iriserende flagerne i den stadig våde super-lim, mens jeg roterer fluen i fluebindingsstikket

Vi har ikke Hitchman fluerne klar til salg endnu – vi arbejder på det (:  – men se mere om dem her

Hvad er meningen med så små rørflue?

I beskrivelsen ovenfor har vi en micro lille hitch-rørflue med en længde på 1 centimeter, den er bundet på et tyndt 1,1- mm-rør. Det er en virkelig lille lakseflue, og lystfiskere, der ikke bruger så små rørfluer til deres overfladefiskeri, vil måske spekulere på, om en lignende lille flue bundet på en enkeltkrog ikke ville være en bedre løsning. Hvorfor disse intrikate detaljer med rørfluer og små kroge? kunne du spørge – Der er mange svar på dette spørgsmål, og et svar er, at en sådan lille rørflue fungerer på en anden måde end en lignende flue bundet på en enkelt eller dobbelt krog, og på den måde er den interessant. De urolige bevægelser sådanne lette rørfluer har er absolut værdifulde egenskaber, både under og i overfladen, og så små rørfluer kan gøre en kedelig og uinteressant varm sommerdag til en uforglemmelig ditto.

The Hitchman

Atlantic salmon on riffling hitch tube fly

Over the + 40 years I have tied flies for salmon fishing, I have only made one or two flies that I would call unique – so it is with joy and a sense of achievement that we now can disclose a new series of riffling hitch tube flies that fits the bill as a fantastic fly.

Here is one of many summer salmon that fancied the Hitchman fly

 

The Hitchman Series in the making
Maybe just an extra glimpse in the water?

Riffling hitch tube fly - Hitchman fly

See-through & iridescent

riffling hitch tube fly - the hitchman

Like a good cooking recipe, we have combined the right things and made an irresistible dish. Here the Green Hitchmann fly tied on our 3.2 mm. tubing. The red spot on the throat of the fly indicates the entrance hole for the leader and doubles as a vision of the stomach seen on small see-through fry

tube for riffling hitch

To achieve a subtle impression I have welded small strands of holographic material to our clear tubing, this gives me a see-through fly with shimmering flanks. We haven’t coloured the tubes in the image it is in fact the reflective tinsel that is mirrored in the tubing material, adding to the general colour effect of the flies.

Iridescent pixels… a great detail on the new riffling hitch flies

I have sins the 90´s used these iridescent pixels for my sea trout flies and lures. Applying this shimmering material to the head of the Hitchman tube fly gave the fly a unique visual balance and a great unified look.

How to

The pixels will act differently on various colour backgrounds, I have had the best result on a plain black background. I use super-glue as finishing varnish on the head of the flies and sprinkle the pixels into the still vet super-glue while I rotate the fly in the fly tying vice

The Thompson River Caddis on tube

What’s the point of such a small tube fly?

In the description above, we feature a tiny hitch tube fly with a length of 1 centimetre or 0.39 inches tied on a thin 1.1-millimetre tubing. It is a tiny salmon fly, and anglers not acquainted with tube flies for their surface fishing would wonder if a similar small fly tied on a single hook would not be a better solution. Why do these intricate ways of the tube fly, you may ask? – There are many answers to this question, and one answer is that such a tiny tube fly works in ways differently than a similar fly tied on a single or double hook, and in that way, it is interesting. The skittering and unpredictable behaviours of such a light tube fly are significant, both under and on the surface, and such small tube flies can make a dull and uninteresting warm summer’s day into a great sporting event…

Fishmadman
Fishmadman

We have decided to add a whole new service concept to our range of flies here on Fishmadman – a service that falls nicely in line with the updated worldwide thoughts on reusing things…
Anglers using our flies…. rarely, if ever, lose their tube-surface flies…for obvious reasons: you would change the hook inserted into the tubing and not the entire fly when you hit a rock or bend a hook on a strong fish – The flies will live on until they fall apart and are discarded… Over the years, both my  business associate Per and I have rescued and reused our favourite flies …and we think it is time to have this service on all our flies…so if you have one particular fly that outperforms other flies you have from us..then keep it safe and when the time comes …we will breath new life into the small vessel the plastic tubing is
To return flies to us, please mail them to Fishmadman I/S, Stakhaven 8, 2500 Valby, Denmark… Add notes, and we will be in contact… The service is completely free and part of our – no-nonsense product guarantee

The Pötkylä caddis tying Instructions http://www.fishmadman.com/archives/21979 http://www.fishmadman.com/archives/21979#view_comments Fri, 29 Nov 2019 15:43:48 +0000 http://www.fishmadman.com/?p=21979 From Finland, comes this fantastic fly by Janne Kuosmanen Body length is 35-40mm and the body is made from a foam cylinder - See how it is done.

The post The Pötkylä caddis tying Instructions first appeared on Fishmadman.com.]]>

1. Tie in the hook guard.

2. Push the needle from back to front into the foam bar.

3. Take a piece of 0.30 mono and tie a simple knot to another end. Insert the line into the tubing and insert another end to the eye of the needle.

 

4. Pull the needle with the line through the foam bar. Start pushing the tubing into the foam bar and simultaneously pull the line. Gently rotate the tubing as it goes into the foam bar. Be careful not to damage the foam bar. The job can be eased by making a cone shape to the end of the tubing with a razor blade. Stop inserting tubing when it comes out of the foam bar. Apply super glue to the tubing and push the tubing into the foam bar.

5. Insert tubing onto the tying needle and shape the foam bar with scissors to a caddis-like shape.

 

6. Color the foam bar with a permanent marker. The fly can be coloured entirely with one colour, or you can colour the “body” section with, for example, green. Only imagination is the limit

 

7. Tie hackle, antennas etc., to your taste. Fly finished! Any foam bar colour can be used. White-coloured foam is quite nice because it looks hollow when coloured with a permanent marker. I’ve also used brown and yellow foam bars.
