Frodin Flies
Frodin Dee Samurai Series
We just love that classic black & yellow colour combination. Dee Sheep has been a tremendous success with thousands of salmon on its conscience. The slim fast Samurai version has only been fished a couple of years but oh boy how it works. On a few of last years trips it gave us all fish, all!
Frodin Black Samurai Series
The most classic of all maybe - a long thin black fly. Ever since Ray Brooks invented the Sunray Shadow the long thin black fly been a worldwide favourite. Fished super-fast this is often a very good strategy! Fish this daytime and not only at dusk. The perfect fly for the dark have a thicker profile. The long black slim drop form makes it a great daytime fly – just dare to fish it fast enough!
Frodin Silver Samurai Series
My first fish on the Silver Samurai came from “Bolstadhölen” on the Bolstad beat on Vosso, Norway. Can it be more classic, the pool where so many 60-70 lbs been caught! For the clear day on the clear river – this fish fast is a great option. Specially maybe for the super fresh sea liced fish that love to chase that silvery, glittery, shiny, sexy appearance.
Frodin Zebra Samurai Series
Frodin Mikkeli Samurai Series
The superb evening- and night colours of the Mikkeli Blue combined with the slim profile of the Samurai is a great combo. This gives me many beautiful fish, fish it in the magic hour when the light is fading…
Frodin Green Samurai Series
The favourite of the Samurai family. The past years it has become very popular in Norway and Russa. Choose the right size and fish it almost straight across the river. Warning - the takes will be fierce!
Frodin Orange Samurai Series
Slightly tinted water, a good cloud and fish that have been in the river some time - at this time is there anything better than an Orange Samurai fished fast? This fly as many others was first tied for a certain mission! The Orange Samurai has proven to be just perfect for what it once was created for. The dirtier the water the slower you need to fish it, but remember the Samurai should be bigger and fished faster – that’s the basic law
Frodin Willie Gun Samurai Series
Is this the best colour combination of them all? Of course, not for all conditions but the magic of the harmony of these colours is unbeaten. As soon as there is a tint of colour to the river this is a superb fly, fast on a downstream belly it will do miracles. This is a favourite for many, perhaps this will be the Samurai that in total will outsmart most salmon.
Frodin Ally Samurai Series
Frodin Torrish Samurai Series
A Samurai for coloured water – for the days when the flies needs to appear with contrast and colour. When flash is necessary and yellow and orange stand out best. Maybe fished deeper than normal Samurai style, at least worth to try. It has also proven to be one of the flies that really triggers the fall fish. Fish it fast and the big colourful males will chase it to kill.
Frodin Rusty Samurai Series
With the colours from the favourite Pahtakorva and the fast fly's long slim drop form and killer profile, the Rusty Samurai has become a favourite in humus coloured rivers. Sometimes I even fish it with the traditional black and white Samurai wing, but the brown harmonizes so good with the humus colour of many rivers. A “Pahta Samurai”, the best of two worlds!
Frodin Alta Gold Flash Wing Series
