The Klinkhåmer Special is probably the most popular fishing fly in the world today. It floats on the end of fly lines on salmon, trout or grayling rivers, from Britain to USA, and Scandinavia to Mongolia. This year marks the fly's 40th anniversary and to celebrate the occasion, its creator Hans van Klinken has at last written his long-awaited first book. Flyfishers for salmon, trout, grayling and coarse species will for the first time learn from Hans himself the secrets behind his miracle Klinkhåmer Special which has caught its fans hundreds and hundreds of fish: the thinking behind the design, the testing, the variations, the reasons for its remarkable success. Full instructions for tying Hans' most important flies are included in his engaging and revealing account of his life in flytying and fishing. Illustrations: 690 Colour photographs Pages: 352 ISBN: 9781913159757 Author: Hans van Klinken Hardcover About the Author: Hans van Klinken started flyfishing at the age of 15 in Norway. He immediately fell in love with the unbridled beauty of the Arctic regions. Hans’ greatest outdoor experience was in 1975 when he spent almost four months in the wilderness of Lapland, where he learned how to survive in the forest and on the tundra. Hans began flytying in 1976. By the early 1980s, he was creating his own designs, mostly parachutes. This eventually led to his development of several unusual patterns and tying techniques. His international fame increased as he continued his meticulous development of his flies, giving demonstrations, workshops and classes around the world. Armed with his backpack, rod and flytying material, he and his future wife Ina travelled round Scandinavia as far north as Svalbard and later Europe and North America, fishing their way around. It was in the large variety of the river systems and lakes of Scandinavia and Finland that he honed his flyfishing skills. Hans’ retirement now makes it possible to commit fully to the world of flyfishing and related environmental issues. He has finally found the time to write his long-awaited first book which sheds light on his ground-breaking thinking behind the world famous Klinkhåmer fly and variations. Throughout his life he has held free-of-charge educational programmes and flytying lessons for youngsters, something he sees as his way of giving back to society.

Tying imitations of terrestrial insects and other invertebrates After the three previous books in the SUPERFLY series dedicated to the imitations of mayflies, caddisflies and stoneflies, this fourth work offers 41 imitative models of those terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates which, for more or less incidental reasons, can become prey to fish. The most intriguing aspect is that, while for the aforementioned triad of aquatic insects we refer to fairly rigid construction schemes, to imitate insects such as beetles, bees, bumblebees, grasshoppers, dragonflies, caterpillars or dipterans the schemes become innumerable, and this does not only because their shapes are such, but because by straying into models of pure fantasy we would inevitably end up imitating some strange invertebrate that nature has already produced several million years ago.These models, made with natural materials, are designed to obtain the maximum possible compromise between imitativity, flotation, ease of execution and, above all, effectiveness.The work presents 41 models whose construction is illustrated, step by step, by high resolution photos with explanations of the various operations, the imitations are associated with 95 photos of the imitated invertebrates and presents 33 construction typologies, mostly original.

Ich fühle mich dort zu Hause. Dort fühle ich mich in Sicherheit und ich bin überzeugt davon, dass es den Forellen ähnlich geht...

Catching a giant trevally (or ‘GT’) on a fly rod is the pinnacle of flats fishing: highly challenging, requiring skill, preparation and courage. This is the first comprehensive guide to giant trevally fishing on the fly. The giant trevally is an apex predator, and the way it operates is nothing less than brutal. These ‘gangsters of the flats’ are like packs of hoodlums marauding across the atolls and shallow estuaries. Hunting for trevally in the harsh environment they inhabit needs a certain resolve. The flyfisher’s first encounter with a giant trevally will be an electrifying experience. A GT can destroy tackle and ego, leaving all in its wake. But once you’ve caught one, GT flyfishing is an experience that any angler will want to repeat.     • How to catch them    • Tackle and equipment    • Which flies to use    • Winning tactics    • Best destinations                including: Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius, Australia, South             Africa, Oman, Mozambique, Sudan and many more.
