Single Snakeroll
This is the type of cast that I like the most. After seeing this technique for the first time things really took off, I have never been out practising with the fly rod as much as during this period. I experienced a completely new world of opportunities, which made my fishing more effective. I had been spey casting for several years, but combining this cast with the snake roll made it possible to cast in very different ways.
Hunting spring salmon
Late May and early June is my favourite time of the year and that's when the first large salmons usually enter the river. This is hardcore fishing at its best, with cold high water, heavy sinking lines and big flies.There's not many fish in the river, but they’re big and I know where to search for them.
Power Taper on a single hand rod
The river is perfect this evening, you quietly approach the water and in the run you see the splash of a big salmon. You pull a few yards of line off the reel, preparing for a perfect presentation of the fly in front of the salmon. The shooting head is delivered far out into the current, and as the salmon grabs the fly and you lift the delicate single hand fly rod to set the hook, you are experiencing THE summer dream.
GLASSBEAD BUZZER
In many waters buzzers (chironomids) are one of the most important food sources for trout. This pattern has proved to be very good in many situations and for Guideline employee Rune Andre Stokkebekk it has become a favorite.
PIKEBAIT
Since I got tired of tangled flash flies that becomes unusable and destroyed after a few pikes caught. I began searching for a material that doesn’t tangles in the same way as the previous material I have used.

Feeling Cold?
Dressing up to be prepared for all sorts of weather changes that might occur during a fishing trip is never easy. Most fly fishermen have experienced this from time to time.
Customizing shooting head
The classic Power Taper System offers the angler the opportunity to adjust his own line, to his own needs. This gives you the chance to fine tune the length/weight of the shooting head to perfectly match specific needs and preferences.
