This is a fly with the same colors but with a few modifications, based on a fly I’ve used a lot called Ece Spade. That fly has probably given me the best brown trout fishing I can remember, so it’s a big favorite of mine. I made a few updates, and it’s fair to call this version the “little brother” of the ES. The fly is weighted, tied on a strong SE hook with black and brown hackle in the tail, along with silver flash. The body is black chenille with a holo wing. It’s ribbed with gray Grizzly and finished with a black head. An excellent streamer fly.

This fly was created many years ago, probably when one was fishing in the east at Grenilæk, Tungufljót, and other rivers. As you can see, it is a mix of Rektor and Flæðamús, which were what we caught a lot of during those years. I had forgotten about this fly, as it happens, but now it is reborn in a size 21 version. Eldibrandur was originally tied on large streamer hooks size S-L but now it is on this Predator hook.

Nobbi is likely one of the best streamers we use when targeting brown trout, with a slight weight added to the body. I've used it extensively, and it has often yielded fantastic catches. But why tie it on when the original version is already so effective? The answer is simple: just because! Available in one size.

This is a fly I use a lot for sea trout; as people know, purple is not commonly used in fly fishing. This fly is incredibly effective, tied on a strong, short, weighted SE hook with a purple hackle in the tail along with silver flash. The body is purple chenille with a holo wing, wrapped with a white hackle and a black head. Stjáni always surprises.
