If you are on the hunt for the biggest predators on the flyrod, a perfect style of flies must be the hollow-tied baitfishpatterns for both predator and saltwater fishing. As so often happens, much of the inspiration comes from the United States and the popular coastal fishing found there. In the pursuit of large, powerful predatory fish, fly tiers developed patterns that rely heavily on bucktail. Its properties and length have made it extremely popular, allowing tiers to create large flies that are still relatively light and move beautifully in the water. Even very large flies—such as Bob Popovics’ famous “Beast Fleye,” which can be tied up to 20–30 cm — remain castable with a fly rod. In this video Danish flytyer and flyfisher Kent Korgaard Hansen will demonstrate the tying of his Pastel Hollow.
