Klinkhåmer Special And Thoughts Behind It 

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate it. Klinkhåmer is a special fly for me even though i am not using it often right now.... I fish some specific waters and fish so it just doesnt work most of the time. Thank you again Stay safe Vladimir

Glad you like it. I tried to do it as similar as possible to what Hans is doing

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it. I used info that was provided by the author and i asked him to see if all i said was ok... Its not 100% same as he does it but its close to it. Only difference is that he uses varnish to secure hackle and i use superglue.

Good superglue is important. I never liked head cement too much. Not for parachute posts. For head cementing i was kind of lazy to do it. Thats why i do two whip finish knots 😀🍺

Glad you like my videos. Thank you. I am trying to record videos of flies i used or at least flies i want to use because i think they may be good.... Underwater photos are something i dont include often... Mostly because i forget. Cheers

@@SC-rh5yo thank you so much 🍻🙏

Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad i could be of some help. Its what i love to do... Fishing and teaching... Its very rewarding to do what i do. 😀🍻

Thank you my friend. Glad you like it. I may try to make more similar videos 😀

I am happy the effort i made was worth watching.... I will try to keep these coming 😀

Thanks. Glad to hear you like it 😃😃

Thanks so much. Glad you did. This is one of my favourite videos too. I loved article that Hans wrote so i thought i put it in the video. Cheers from China 🍺🍺

Thank you so much. It took some more time for this one, but i am happy its worth it 😉

Thanks, these are not my thoughts... Its authors, Hans Van Klinkens. I thought it could be interesting to make a video cause not many people know his ideas behind this fly

Thanks my friend.... I will try to make some more similar videos 😀😀

Hope it helped. Tie them in as many pcs as you can.... Last one compared to first one will tell you how much you improved 🍻🍻🍻

Thanks a lot. Glad you like it Just yesterday i had great fishing with this fly. 🍺🍺

Thanks a ton. Cheers 🍺😀

Thank you for watching :)😀

Thanks for your kind words. That drop of superglue is something that Hans Van Klinken considers ruins buoyancy of the fly. I tried to make video according to his preferences. I personally do add superglue. When it gets dry i am sure it cant ruin buoyancy. Unless it goes up the post too high.

@@Oholisfliesandfishing thanks for that! I find it pretty annoying when the post wiggles about! on a different note a good friend (also named Vlad!) lives in Karlovac and has invited me for a few days. I thought it might be nice to fish in the Kupica one day, but no idea where you get a license etc.

Thank you so much. I made a small research for this one and i consulted Mr. Hans about it. Hook is not perfect but i guess people will get the idea how to tie this one. 😃😃

Glad you like it buddy, i want to see some klinkhåmers from you now 😀😀

Thank you so much. As for hooks, just use any dry fly curved hook for start. Dont bother finding partridge or any other "appropriate" hook.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Actually, i used to put it in a dubbing loop but since its an extra step i dont do it as much now... Although that way body becomes almost indestructible. 😀

Knapek is a goof hook. Enjoy tying 😃😃

Thanks so much for your comment. Glad you like it

Hi, first of all, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I am giving my best to deliver good and useful videos for my viewers. As for the fishing in Germany, i would love to come. I havent been in Germany ever. Except Frankfurt Airport 😂 I have seen some very nice rivers around Germany though... Is it still necessary for foreigners to have some exam before they can fish in Germany? Cheers Vladimir

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Hi Vladimir, I don't know if you got my last answer. Somehow it disappeard. You can get a three month valid guest fishing permit in any town office for about 30 Euros. That allows you to buy any day licenses for specific waters you want to fish. My chinese wife was thinking about where you were fishing in your china videos? By the way, my fishing invitation for you would be serious. Just contact me! Tight lines, Thorsten Kramm

@@thorstenkramm9597 well, youtu.be is doing it often. Comments just disappear. I didnt know about that licence. That is good to know. Place in China is near Xian, Qinlig mountains. Beautiful place. You can drink water from the river. Amazing. I understand your invitation very seriously. If i come to Germany i will contact you for sure. My email is oholidzo@yahoo.com 😀🍻

Thanks a lot. 😀 Those thin hearls u can use for any fly

Thank you my friend glad you like it 😀😀😀

Thanks for watching it. Glad to hear you like it 🍻🍻

Thank you so much 🙏. For this fly i did a research first, and final steps were clarified by Hans himself... Now i am in pursuit to make some similar videos... I am just waiting for some materials 😀

Oholi's flies Some of your tips and tricks have been a great help for me and has taken my tying to the next level. Looking forward to your next video👍🙂

@@spudd78 i am very happy to hear that. Glad i could be of some help. 😀😀😀

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am trying to give a reason for all i am doing. I believe that by giving reason for something people will learn it more easily. 🍻

Thank you for watching. I am glad you and other people like a bit of that history 😀

Thanks for all the compliments. Appreciate it. I tilt flies even when tying 32s....😂 Habit i guess. As for the gear its sony a6000 and sigma 50mm macro lense... Old one, got it for around 50 euros. Light is LED 18w i think... And another one is below the fly.... Quite bright one may think but considering i shoot video at f8 or f11 my shutter speed has to be max 1/60...should be around 1/100 for better quality.,. Considering that i do this for 6months now i think its decent. Before i used my phone.... I dont use microphone.... Just one on the camera.... Since i dont earn any money from this... And so far i dont think i want to, i wont be investing in gear soon... My only regret is that i havent bought sony of newer generation with 4K and eye auto focus...

Nice to hear that. Did you use same body dubbing? For some reason i think it makes difference.

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Yes, I used the same materials as you did in this video.

@@schmoonkie still my favourite variation

Yes, thats the one. I love that article. Post links, its ok. I dont mind. 🍺😀

Hahaha thank you very much. Appreciate your comment.... As for the leaders.... Varivas was making some amazing... But honestly now i use anything i can get. What i like to do is to get 3x or 4x leader tip....so i just attach tippet ring and than change tippets... Hope it makes sense..if u use 6x leader, and then you tie few flies it gets shorter by time....

@@Oholisfliesandfishing superb video. 👍🏻 I also use a leader with tipped ring but there’s one thing you said that could go either way; you mentioned you never go over 0,14 mm but to what direction? Up or down? Thus smaller or bigger in diameter?

@@StefanSchout i like thinner tippets. But I also never use huge klinks... So i rarely use 0.16mm or thicker.... Where i fish there are no huge fish 😃

Thank you. Glad to hear that you like it. Agree.... Drag free drift is far more important than obsession over tippet size. I used to catch most of my salmonid fish in Serbia. Now i am in China, South part so there are other species here. 😃😃

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Yes, there are other species in South China, like snakehead fish perhaps.

@@TB-zh9pe snakeheads, topmouth, tilapia, masheer... Lots of fish... But rivers are devastated.... Very bad population

Glad you have tried it and i'm even more glad it works there too. I had similar problems, i used some thin TMC hook and big trout bent it... Now i use some standard wire hooks. I agree about bubbles.... But whats interesting that that colour works everywhere. Montana is definitively one of the top places i'd like to visit some day. Have great time there.... I hope you will catch PB trout on it... I got mine on this one 😀 53cm fish

@@Oholisfliesandfishing The new hooks work. And this pattern is magic. I took a BIG fish today just before the wind blew me off the river. A personal best for me on this river.

@@BertBrehm thats great news... I guess this will be among your new favourite patterns 😀😀

Thanks a lot. Whats antron thread? Like spooled antron?

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Yes. That's correct.

@@Boltonben cool... You can. If its not too thick... Try spinning it to get cool segmentation

Thank you so much. I believe direct link is better 😀😀 www.tomsutcliffe.co.za/fly-fishing/fly-tying/item/248-hans-van-klinken-on-his-klinkhamer-special.html

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Perfect. Thanks!

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Perfect. Thanks.! I've ordered the Daiichi hooks in various sizes in order to tie some of these flies.

​@@Oholisfliesandfishing Just one question Vladimir regarding tying this fly using your method as seen in this video. I've tied this fly using the Ice Dub UV Tan dubbing and made the body very thin, similar to yours. However, the body seems to become pinkish due to the para post underneath. I don't see the same in your video. Perhaps the video doesn't show it... Do you also see the pink showing through? The pinkish color is more pronounced once I wet the fly.

Thats right.. And don't worry.... Fish will love it. Against the sun or light it becomes tan colour

E fala 🙏🙏

Going up the post will make fly ride lower.... Which is a good thing... And regarding nice tying... Thank you for that.... But as you already noticed... Its the fisherman that catches fish... Fly neat or not is not as important.... My most productive size in the past was 12.... But over the years i gravitated towards smaller flies in general... So 16 or 14 are my go to flies now

What do you mean? Can you please refer to specific second in the video. Only knot i do is whipfinish around the post. 😀

Thank you for watching this one. I am very happy that you find my videos good and worth watching. Klinkhamer is designed to imitate caddis flies.... Whichever dubbing you use its designed as a caddis...but at the same time... Its perfect as a mayfly emerger. Make few, in few colours and more importantly in few sizes... Try them in both, mayfly and caddis hatches and you will start loving this fly 😀

Thanks 😃😃 its TMC fine tip

That actually makes sense.... You actually gave me an idea for one of the videos.... Thank you so much. I honestly didnt know that... Never gave it a thought... Now i have to change my habbit... 🍻🍻🍻

@@Oholisfliesandfishing what a great tip!

@@Tjk186 and i changed my habit. Now i dub clockwise 😀🍻

That is correct. However i dont think it matters much. If at all. Personally i believe its the same effect as klinkhåmer hook.
