✨ Why Every Fly Fisher Should Read The Klink ✨
When you think of truly game-changing patterns in flyfishing, few stand out as much as the Klinkhåmer Special, created by Dutch flytier and author Hans van Klinken.
Hans didn’t just design a fly – he revolutionised how we approach emergers. His Klinkhåmer sits perfectly in the surface film, imitating insects in that vulnerable stage between water and air, when trout find them irresistible. Decades later, it remains one of the most popular flies.
📖 In his book, The Klink, Hans shares the story behind the fly, his journey as an angler and tier, and the countless lessons he’s learned along the way. It’s not just a tying manual – it’s an insight into his creative process.
Whether you’re:
🎣 A beginner looking to understand why certain flies work so well
🪶 A seasoned tier seeking inspiration from a master, or
🐟 An angler who just wants to catch more fish with proven patterns
The Klink is a must-have for your library.
