How to fish

Heimasaetan fly fishing flies have been used in recent years in Iceland to fish for arctic char but this trout fly is now being fished also as a saltwater fly pattern in Scandinavia and UK.  Pink colored flies are good for salt water fish or when a fish has just returned to a fresh water.  This trout fly has the reputation to be the best sea arctic char fly and sea trout fly in Iceland.  

If you are going to fly fish in saltwater or for fish that has just returned to freshwater we recommend to try this fly fishing fly.  Fly fishing flies for sea trout should all be colorful, especially when it has just returned from salt water.  Our trout flies have caught hundreds of arctic char all over Scandinavia so dont miss out this cheap but effective trout flies.
