The in-fal-uh-buhl Klinkhamer šš
The klinkhamer is an incredibly successful pattern throughout the world and should be in every fly anglers box.
This email is celebrating theĀ 40th anniversaryĀ of the Klinkhamer (as designed by Hans van Klinken), with a couple of it's variants -Ā The Infallible KlinkĀ &Ā The Klinkhamer SpecialĀ pattern-specific fly tying kit.
One of the most requested flies we have had - since it sold out recently within just 3 hours - is the Infallible Klinkhamer.
We're happy to announce that our tyers have been working into the very small hours to replenish our stocks - and they arrived with us yesterday ...
As it's name would suggest ... The Infallible Klinkhamer is a 'sure thing' - well, about as near as you can get for this time of year!
We now have them available again in sizes ranging from 12's right down to 18's, and all needing a new home in your very own 'Summer' fly box:
The Infallible Klinkhamer Selection - one of our Summer flies - is a perfect emerger style pattern.
A version of the popular Klinkhamer. Tied with a salmon-pink post, Hare's Ear body and a short red tail section around the bend of the hook. This fly looks very 'buggy'!
It's easily seen in all conditions - especially good when Iron Blue's and Blue-Winged Olives are on the water.
Our newly replenished selection of Infallible Klinkhamers contains 12 patterns - 3 each of sizes 12, 14, 16 & 18 - all you need for a great day on the water.
*** We've only got around 40 of these selections available, so you will need to be quick ***

We are today launching the newest of our Feathersmith pattern-specific fly tying kits.
Following along the line of the Infallible Klinkhamer (above) for this month we've gone with an 'all time' favourite ...Ā The Klinkhamer Special.
We've based this kit around the very famous emerger pattern,Ā originally devised by Hans van Klinken. This fly pattern is in virtually every fly anglers boxes across the world - yes, it's that successful!.
Originally called the LT Caddis (Light Tan) but later officially named the KlinkhƄmer Special. The fly was designed to imitate an emerging caddis/sedge fly, which trout and grayling hoover up from the surface film. This fly pattern is now universally acknowledged as the best and most adaptable emerger pattern ever designed.
It is considered a standard for targeting trout and grayling and has been very effective for many fly anglers since its inception.
The pattern provided within this kit is as close to the original designed by Hans as we could possibly get.
OurĀ Klinkhamer SpecialĀ kit includes:
- Hooks:Ā AHREX FW525 hooks (10 each of sizes #10, #12 & #14)
- Thread:Ā Semperfli Nano Silk (White)
- Dubbing:Ā Peacock Dubbing Mix
- Dubbing:Ā Superdry (Cream)
- Post:Ā Z-Lon White
- Hackle:Ā Brown (Sizes #10, #12 & #14)
- Rib:Ā Uni-Mylar Pearl #16
- Pre-Tied Sample Klinkhamer Special
All of the above high-quality materials combined make a quality fly which is pretty straightforward to tie, with full easy to follow step-by-step video instruction.
Contained inside each kit is also a leaflet which will direct you to a secret page on our website where all the videos (including all of Kenan's Beginners Fly tying series) can be accessed.
Our Feathersmith Klinkhamer Special kit is now available for only Ā£30. At less than Ā£1/fly, that's great value for money.
