Presented by: Visit Idaho, Fish The Fly, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Patagonia

Ever wonder why some anglers swear by tube flies or why that little hitch on the surface can make a salmon go wild?

Today, we're hanging out with Jesper Fohrmann, the creative mind behind Fishmadman and one of the most passionate salmon anglers out there. Jesper's spent decades chasing Atlantic salmon and sea trout across Denmark, Norway, and the UK, perfecting flies and techniques that have earned a cult following from Scandinavia to Newfoundland.

We dig into why tube flies can outfish hooks, what makes the riffle hitch so deadly in cold water, and how Jesper approaches leaders, rods, and presentation. Plus, we talk about his favorite patterns, the Scandinavian underhand style, and how all of it connects to steelhead fishing around the world. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/827
