PM #40 – Foam Dry Fly Skaters

To fish on the surface for salmon and sea trout is maybe the most exciting way to challenge these majestic fish. It was Peter B. Christensen that influenced our foam skaters. He’s a master of getting both Danish sea trout and Norwegian salmon to come to the surface. This odd little foam tube with its swinging legs looks down to the fish and make them come and chase it. It’s light and unsinkable whether you fish it free float or skate it over wavy fast water.
