Classic Norwegian Bjerkreim Fly for Salmon & Sea-Trout
Bjerkreim Double-Hook Fly — Size 8
The Bjerkreim fly owes its name to the Bjerkreimselva — a storied salmon river in southwestern Norway. This river has for generations been among the nation’s top salmon and sea-trout fisheries, and flies tied for Bjerkreim have earned a reputation for reliability and effectiveness.
Heritage & Purpose
• A classic Norwegian salmon fly with decades of proof behind it — the double-hook setup gives stability and dependable hooking.
• Designed for rivers like Bjerkreimselva with slower currents, tea-coloured water and the need for subtle presentation.
• Though born in Bjerkreimselva, it works across many Norwegian rivers whenever flows are calm, water is low, or fish are wary.
This Version
We offer the Bjerkreim in its traditional style, refined for modern anglers:
• Sizes 6 and 8
• Bronzed double hook with down-turned eye for stable, correct swim
• Ideal for salmon and sea-trout in slower or lightly coloured water
• Best in tea-stained pools or gentle runs where subtlety matters
Why Every Fly Box Should Have One
A true Norwegian classic — versatile, proven, and rooted in tradition. Perfect as a reliable standby in low water, slow flow, or reduced visibility, with a long record of salmon and sea-trout behind it.
