Marabou Flu
The soft marabou feathers are an unsurpassed flytying material for stagnant and slow-flowing waters. The material is available in every conceivable color and is also relatively cheap. One of the supporters is the Danish fishing guide Marc Skovby, who tells the story of his favorite marabou-based fly for his flyfishing for salmon in Denmark.

Hay Thief Variant (Høtyven)
Hello
Next tutorial up. A variant of the famous fly Høtyven, invented by Troels Holstein, has become a Danish classic. I made a variant also inspired by my good friend Svenja Bossen, who made a very nice version with CDL.
Glad I found use for my CDL hen brown speckled feathers yet again in this pattern.
Check it out.

Lefty's Deceiver
Lefty's Deceiver is a simple fly that is absolutely deadly for predatory gamefish. It's a durable, easy tie that's made from few, readily available materials and has been catching fish for decades. It's at least as effective as a great many more modern, more complex baitfish patterns.. probably more so. You definitely want to have these in you box!
