Pattern of the Month #21 - Classic Pahtakorva & Håkan Norling’s Original Templedog

[@alexpeters1080]

My late pal did well on Frodins Pahtakorva on the Ure/ouse in Yorkshire, England. As the man says, its a great fly for dark water. I've made a few copies/variants without investing in all the exact ingredients and look forward to swimming them this spring.

Mikael, You had quite a famous crowd watching you tie. It's a sad note, but Mel and Lefty are both gone, but their contributions are still among us. Really loved watching you both tie. Gary gave me my first pair of wading shoes back in 1977.

I know a lot of the heroes are gobe, Lee, Stanlet, Nat... we all go that way

Lovely film with two pals tying together and having a laugh. That's what it's all about.

Nice treat before Christmas tying your beautiful patterns and still the true gentlemen I met a number of years ago. Thanks for all your help and inspiration. 🙌🙌

[@gtchasingsilver]

Amazing watch, few nice wee tips and tricks. Two legends!

[@bjornchristiansson2827]

Fun see you tie same pattern! But different and I would fish both of those actually be good have them both in the box. Small differences do matter some picky days. I tie my own flies sense the end of 70s and triple wing on a cone do make sure profile stays high even in heavy currents! In old days I did use yarn or chenille as a bulb to support the wing. Now we just use the cone much more durable. You both very known for your job full credit hat off ! And you change how we tie tube flies now the days! I still use the old 2" brass tube in June in Norway and more or less I go on tre pattern. Silver/grey Jock/scott Black/doctor Even on big single hooks. Tie flies have become a own sport who is awesome to see outcome of. As we say shit fishing at you both 👍 Björn

СПАСИБО!!!

[@aleksanderlyng8421]

Nice video! Is it a updated color on the alta gold braid? Looks brighter and more shiny, like the old lagartun.

[@frodinflies]

we have two different - the Holo braid is more shiny!

[@ernsthorn2788]

Great video. Very interesting. I wonder about the tube length in relation to the hook placement. Do you sometimes leave the back of the tube long and then cut it?

[@frodinflies]

Hi Ernst, personally i never do it. i want the hook in the center of the fly. Fish it fast on they will grabb it straight across!

[@philippendlebury4518]

Nice flies boys but BTW you are not old men. Plenty left in the tank I'm sure. Best Phil
