Friends Flies
Per Hansen - Fredensborg, Denmark
Per saw the Flying Pigs of Jim Hatch on this site and sent me this Danish sea trout fly called Pattegrisen originated by Claus Eriksens in exchange for one of Jim's pigs. In Danish Pattegrisen translates to "little newborn pig", hence the interest in pigs. I think you will agree that Per is a superb tier and the pattern is a great prawn fly. You can see a tutorial on tying this fly here.
