We call them classics because of the way they are tied: a wing dividing the front hackles and with the balancing 1/2 turbo cone as head. Most of our flies originates from this family, the complex fly with all ingredients. To us these are the most fun to both tie and fish – they are the classics of our time!
At the bend at Vaehaeniva Mikael hooked a great fish, his friend said that if he could hold it in the pool he would eat it raw! He did not have to - the salmon took Mikael down through the pools almost a kilometer before they could land it - it weighted over 40 lbs. A super fly for dusk and dawn. A discrete greenish fly that now is the absolute favourite of some of our closest friends.
