Fly fishing involves trying to imitate the fish's food on a hook, using wire, feather and hair. Many times it is about small insects in different stages, which are the main food for many fish. But larger predatory fish prefer to eat small fish and fish fry. To imitate these swaps, we usually use streamers in different designs. Many streamers consist of a body and a wing, which is a simple and often effective way to imitate small fish. However, they have a disadvantage and that is that the wing often snaps and hooks on the hook bend when you cast the fly, which means that the fly does not move correctly in the water. To remedy this, a fly was developed in New Zealand in which the wing is tied along the back, using a metal wire or tinsel. In this way, the fly got the right profile, but it was avoided that the fly moved incorrectly in the water due to the wing getting hooked. In this video Håkan Karsnäser will be demonstrating a very effectice pattern for chasing the big trouts – the Brown Matuka.
