For me fishing is a lot about the fishing, but it is also about the nature:

The nature is what I really live for, fishing is great if it is only for the fish, but when you can stand in a river and have a night with the sky on fire like this then you know what I’m talking about.

If you have a night like this: leave the rod at the riverbank and look up: you might catch trout every time you go out, but you won’t experience a night like this often!

Guinea Fowl Skin

Posted on 4 October, 2013 by Håvard Eide

Got this green Guinea Fowl Skin for a nice price today, I got it for tying the classic atlantic salmon fly, but what other patterns would you use the feathers for?

Looking at the skin I would use it for tails on dryflies, hackles and thorax on larger patterns in addition to the classic atlantic salmon fly. I was looking for a black one, but the green eyes on this skin will be very good for some ideas I have for this winter.

Married Wings + Golden Pheasant

Adding more material to the Married Wings & Jungle Cock that I created earlier: this time with Golden Pheasant as tail, topping and side. Also added black ostrich in front of the tail.

Originally I had a 3-color wing, but the additional black just didn’t want to tie in, got to practice more on that. This is also first time I’m tying in a proper topping with golden pheasant, so that came out ok.

This is a part of my continious exploration towards the fully dressed salmon fly
