Jetzt gilt es, die Politik wachzurütteln und endlich etwas für unsere Gewässer zu tun! Die Initiative #protectwater ist unsere Chance! Hier ein paar Infos dazu: Die EU hat bereits im Jahr 2000 eine Richtlinie erlassen (die “WRRL”=Wasserrahmenrichtlinie), die für unsere Gewässer tatsächlich einige sehr gute […]
The RIO Gold is the flyline I fish most during the year. I use it as a WF5F on my Orvis Revon 5wt and as a WF6F…
Fishing streamers in spring often produces the biggest trouts of the season. But fishing can be difficult under the high water conditions after snowmelt and you need a pattern that dives easily and draws some attention with a strong motion and some flash/glitter. This pattern […]
Colors are really important! More than once was I able to observe, that a change in lure/fly color had tremendous influence on bite frequency! Not only the color itself, but also the contrast that derives from the interplay of several colors…
A very simple pattern to tie and to fish, but VERY effective in the late evening hours. Especially when it is getting so dark that you can hardly see your fly, let alone tell if it is already degging or not, this fly lets you […]

During summer I sometimes struggle to tell to which of the many different insects the fish are currently rising. A pattern that ALWAYS works is this pattern created by Christian Kuchelmeister. This fly has caught a large variety of fish in difficult situations, from Slovenian […]
Here is another mayfly pattern, that I tie and use regularly. Its body is made of foam, which makes it almost unsinkable… and it catches fish! I caught some of my biggest dryfly browns on this pattern. Here is what you need: Hook Partridge Klinkhamer […]
The Woolly Bugger is one of the most effective and most versatile streamers! There are also a lot of different ways to tie this fly. Instead of rooster saddle hackles, some tutorials suggest chenille. Lacking the correct hackle I have successfully used marabou in a […]
Dieses Muster fängt hervorragend! Es ist eine geringfügige Abwandlung des “Stickleback”-Musters von Barry Ord Clarke und imitiert mit dem dickeren Kopf eher eine kleine Forelle, die insbesondere im Frühjahr zur Beute großer Forellen werden. Haken: Gamakatsu F16 #10 oder ähnlicher Streamerhaken Kopf: Rehhaar Augen: Messing […]
