Thanks, Mikael! I was waiting for the new Spring pattern video, and very happy to see a favourite fly of yours in the mix. Very interesting take on the 'Classic Sillen'...hmmm. Do you have any dark olive ostrich herl coming up? This pattern would be great for a 'butterfly' sculpin! Cheers again, Mikael. Glad Påsk!

Thank you Mikael for giving us another very interesting insight in your pattern fly tying. Usually I have no questions left, but this time I‘m wondering if the marabou feather tied-in the new way, is protected enough to hold longer than only a day fishing, because of that small and weak looking tying-in point and no further protection, only laying on top of the fly-Body, with no securement between tying-in and tying-off point? Tight-lines, Steve

Hi steve - i have had no flies brake actually. i use Ostrich mostly, marabou will probably be to week and also to soft. if to use a very week feather i would run a ribbing over it. Stay strong& tie on!/M
