Håkan Norling - 10 favourite flies

When you talk to Håkan Norling it is impossible not to get into salmon flies in general, and the iconic Temple Dog tube fly in particular. In this video from the salmon stretch at Kengis Bruk Håkan tell us about his favorite flies for salmon and the history and evolution of the modern tube fly. Thank you Håkan for this beautiful piece of content and history lesson, now available for a broader audience!

Tack för videon Guideline och Håkan!
Det är alltid så givande att få lyssna på Håkan, den erfarenheten Håkan har är värd mycket!
Sen kan man inte göra annat än gilla Håkans sätt att vara rak och ärlig, han visar sånt som fungerar inte massa lull lull eller tjafs.

Håkan nice presentation, I like it when tiers explain the logic behind a certain way they tie a particular pattern and how they like to rig that fly so it swims nicely . I have been tying some of these patterns ( similar) for the past couple of years on shanks with trailers . Hooks and tubes and using them on trout Spey set ups with both Scandi and Skagit lines for trout , char , salmon in Alaska , Montana and Idaho and they work great . Would like to see more of your stuff. Thanks for sharing

"As you can see - i have a lot of flies but today... it feels like i have nothing to fish with because i have tried a lot of them and nothing works." 😂Amen to that and cheers for a very entertaining clip!

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Fantastisk fortælling….

[@absoluteeverything1980]

I wish to see the red temple dog to be tied by the legend himself. great pattern! or at least a better picture 😀

[@SnowHunter44]

if you like to see that search for it - don't complain that this video, which did not feature the man tying anything, did not cater to you!!

[@Salar1269]

Isnt that Frödins Phatagorva , he Said he was first, around -84 😅

[@kanecol2401]

If you could have seen the flies it would be good

[@guyroberge7074]

Pathagorva is the same as the templedog ?? Look alike very much

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Hi Guy! Templedog is a style of hair wing tube flies originally developed by our own Håkan Norling. Phatagorva is a pattern. // Best regards/ The Guideline team

[@guyroberge7074]

@@Guidelineflyfish i Was talking about the original templedog as hakan is saying in the vidéo...

[@Guidelineflyfish]

I made a quick phonecall to Håkan and the original Temple Dog from autumn 1985 was a fly in gold, orange, brown and black, and according to Håkan this pattern several year later was named Pathagorva. So in short - Håkans Original Temple Dog in that color scheme is what later became the Pathagorva pattern. // Best regards/ The Guideline team

No Frodin flies?

[@SnowHunter44]
