Floating flies fished on the surface is one of the most exciting methods and the sight of a large aggressive predatory fish attacking the fly in a big splash can almost give the fisherman a heart attack... Over time, surface flies have been used extensively - but the American fly fisherman and fly tyer Larry Dahlberg started to experiment with the shape of the heads of his flies back in the late 1970's. Instead of having a large surface in the front to splash and "push" as much water as possible, he changed the shape so that the floating fly would dive instead of splashing. With a strong retrieve the fly could dive into the water and the stronger the pull - the deeper the fly could dive in a quick jerk - something that he discovered even the most skeptical predatory fish had difficulty standing for - a classic style of predator-fly was born.
The Swedish fly tyer and specialist in large streamers, and especially deer hair flies such as poppers and divers, Andreas Andersson has been behind the ftying-vice, and in this video he will shares all his tips and tricks in handling and tying flies with deer hair. It almost seems like blasphemy to use a "work of art fly" like this one-hour-fly Andreas ties - but it is actually ment to be fished with, because as Andreas himself says about the fly: “throw it in the water and have fun with it”. So grab your tying-vice, some deer-hair, a cup of coffee and learn from the master himself.
