American fly patterns for fishing in River Karup.
American fly patterns for fishing in River Karup.
These last couple of years, I have been checking out some North American Steelhead patterns. Especially from their Intruders and Leech flies, there seems to be quite a lot to use as a source of inspiration, when creating flies for use in Danish River Karup.
Comparing the tying technics used by the Americans with the Scandinavian approach to tying flies, there is a lot of common features and differences as well. We tie many of our seatrout and salmon patterns on tube, while the Americans love to tie on different types of shanks, with a single trailer hook attached in power braid line or wire.
Camo Squid
and
Dirty Hoh

Americano Flies
To put it short, I simply find his approach to fly tying very interesting, and his flies look killer….. I am a fan for sure :-)
Since I like to experiment a lot in my own fishing, I decided to take a couple of Jerry’s flies for a test swim in River Karup. The flies I have chosen are his “Camo Squid”, and his “Dirty Hoh”.
