Hi, i saw your up side down spey shrimp, and i was wondering if you get them to sink right. I am having problems with them sinking sideways. Could you explain how you do it?
Hey there.
im an avid fly fisher, however i am new to the water of the Netherlands, im currently based in Loosderijcht and was wondering if you could help me out with what species i can expect here, and what sort of flies and draw methods.
I’m sorry, but I’m from Germany. I don’t know much about the fishing in the Netherlands….
Try to contact some dutch flyfishers, maybe on facebook. I’m sure they can help you.

Magic Shrimp: Another AWESOME fly. Rune’s (and your) shrimp are simply terrific looking although the tie looks pretty complicated. Darn fun to watch; keep up the good work!
Great web page and your flys are superb. I was wondering…on your last fly you tied in 2013, a caddis pupa tied on a Klinkhamer #14, what did you use for the eyes on that fly? Superb!
•) Where are your flies for sale?
•) Do you tie with Materials, Eyes, Dumbbells or Masks excited by UV light (390nm )(Sometimes referred to as ‘Glow’. )
•) Have you considered using a Fly Tank to swim your creations in? Every fly tier’s works l@@ks spectacular on the vice, but can they swim(?). So first things first, into the tank they
go to see how they swim at different water column velocities.
I LOVE your Works. Have you ever done The Fly Show currently touring the US? The Edison NJ Show in late January had hundreds of tiers. But only a few showed up and swam their works…..

Ich war auf der Suche nach einigen Anregungen bezüglich Mini Zonkern & bin fündig geworden. Danke Holger! Schöne Photos und sehr gute Anleitungen. Einen guten Start in die neue Saison! Viele Grüße Ole
Would EP fibers work for your sand eel? what about bear hair, Bucktail, sheep wool, etc. Have you tied these on tubes? I keep thinking about short strikes and how to get the hook further back> Thanks for your help and advice. George Stark

Hi Thomas,
I use a small tungsten shrimp weight underneath the hook shank and the high placement of the foil works like a spoiler.
