Pattegrisen (the Pink Pig) - fly tying

This is my my take on Pattegrisen, probably the most popular and famous Danish saltwater fly ever. It was developed by Claus Eriksen back in 2006 - with some inspiration from Morten Oland's Spey Shrimp. It's a killer for sea trout. The fly is tied on an Ahrex NS150 hook. Claus was actually part of the team, that designed that hook model.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thank you so much 😀

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot. Cheers Michael :0)

Great tie, I think I like the look of the super hair cut at an angle towards the eyes and mouth parts better. I am not suer it looks more natural that way but it doesn't stick up after cutting. I am sure the water takes care of it. Thanks for sharing. All the best, Sean

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks Sean. Yep, I am aware of the other style of cutting. I used an old video of Claus tying this fly as a guideline. Think most tiers cut at an angle today. All the best, Michael

Great SBS Michael. It may have been my first view, my loss :o( Your P&S Shrimp is next. Thanks.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks Joe. This saltwater fly is the national bird in Denmark ;0)

@@MichaelJensensAngling xoD lol!

[@HedgeFly]

I can't find any salmon pink Spey hackle to tie this 😭😭😭

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Sam, you can just use Blood Plume Marabou instead. It is cheaper, more readily available and works great for these shrimps. Cheers, Michael :0)
