Hans van Klinken's Klinkhåmer Special

11 June 2004 | Page: 1

When Hans van Klinken first tied a Klinkhåmer Special he had little idea of the ripples it would create through the fly fishing world. It is safe to say that it changed the way many of us think about dry flies, firmly establishing the emerger at the centre of dry fly design rather than the dun, which had dominated dry fly thinking for over a century.

Background info and tying sequence for the Klinkhåmer Special and other flies by Hans van Klinken can be viewed here and on his own site here and a good photo sequence here
