Description

THE PATTERN Over the years, Mikael has been at the forefront of innovative tying techniques and materials. In our 50th Pattern of the Month film, he introduces a new and exciting method for creating durable spey hackles using Nutria fibers. Watch as he ties this version of the classic Green Highlander, showcasing a superbly sexy vibrating hackle. This technique revolutionizes the tying of larger spey tubes and promises to work just as effectively on various other fly patterns. For optimal results, we recommend tying it on a BTT or TTT tube. We believe this technique will endure for many decades, producing some of the deadliest-looking flies we've seen in a long time.

Field Notes

This is a fly tying pattern pack for building a Green Highlander Nutria Spey-style fly, not a ready-to-fish lure. It is used at the vise to assemble durable spey and tube flies for salmon/steelhead presentations, especially when you want a large, flashy profile with strong movement in the water.

Pros

  • Includes a full assortment of tube components and materials for tying the pattern
  • Designed for durable spey-style flies with strong hackle movement
  • Good for anglers who tie their own salmon/steelhead flies

Cons

  • Requires fly-tying skill and additional tools
  • Not a finished fly or ready-to-fish product
