Frodin Micro Series
Frodin Nasty Banana Micro Series
Frodin Nanook Micro Series
This little special fly got its name from the white powerful hunter in the north. Nanook is a clear water fly. We very often vary our sunshine flies from light blue to light green. In this pattern, we mixed the colours and got a nice sunshine fly that works well in both the greenish and bluish river. This fly has been in our boxes since the late 80’s.
Frodin Zebra Micro Series
One of my new favourites, even in this simple version it’s an extra magic pattern. The small black fly, a standard on most rivers. The white/black/white wing also gives this little fly extra contrast. I’m sure that even in the small size contrast has contributed to giving the fly its reputation to out fish many other creations.
Frodin Pahtakorva Micro Series
Here it is again, my most well-known pattern. A fly that has taken tens of thousands of salmon. I fish it gladly and often, big or small. It’s a great standard fly which works everywhere, maybe it’s best in tea coloured rivers, or on that low August river. Sometimes I vary the hackle and put the orange grizzly to the front and sometimes I use that orange metallic coloured cone, nevertheless in any shape it's just a fantastic little fly
Frodin Greenlander Micro Series
My cross breed between Green Highlander and Silver Grey. Maybe it saw the light because I couldn’t decide which one of the classics to fish – I just love those classics. This is my absolute favourite fly for sunny weather in clear to greenish rivers. I fish these really small for the trickiest salmon. I even do a spring version “classic style” in 4-6 cm that has given me many memorable fish.
Frodin Willie Gun Micro Series
The British standard classic with its fantastic colour combination - here in a small, low water, soft, deadly version. A favourite in slightly to medium coloured water. It also does well a cloudy day in the clear river. A must in the box on any river and almost any day of the season. It’s remarkable how this combination harmonizes with a tint of humus and how the fish just love them. This pattern we fish in many sizes, just adapting the design a bit.
Frodin Black Green Helmet Micro Series
A true old favourite of mine. BGH has been in my boxes more than 25 years now and given me many memorable salmon. Black and chartreuse colours are as classic for clear waters as orange and brown for slightly coloured. I love that greenish water, Litza, Gaula, Aa, Laerdal and in many, many other rivers black and green flies out fish the most. Even in this small version it’s a great standard fly to fish maybe specially on that cloudy summer day.
Frodin Dee Sheep Micro Series
Another great pattern from Mikael Frodin. Put the yellow under the black - make it swim and suddenly the old Icelandic Black Sheep turns into an even better fly. A super standard fly for cloudy days. This has given me most of my Scottish Dee fish, therefore the name.
Frodin Sillen Micro Series
The lighter and more sparse it is the better it fishes. This is a favourite sunshine fly. When the river is turning blue it’s unbeatable, but it’s also great in crystal clear rivers. To dangle it in the top of a pool in that white water on a low oxygen river day can produce some great sport. Remember to keep them small, the fish can see everything.
Frodin G.P Special Micro Series
This little “shrimp fly” can be extremely effective. We write “shrimp fly” because we have no believes in that salmon take it for being a boiled shrimp. The flat broad profile and strong colour is what we think triggers. We prefer to fish it fast on a good downstream belly, even though we have taken some great fish dangling it in cold water. We like it fairly small, about 2-4 cm.
