Tying a Fly Called Dimmblá
Fly Tying Tutorial From Ívar’s Fly Workshop
So here we have Dimmblá, an all Icelandic salmon pattern by Þórður from Húsavík. He designed many beautiful patterns and they are still being used in Iceland and some other countries. The Dimmblá name means basically dark blue. It’s an excellent midsummer pattern and even for low water conditions.
Here we will be tying the fly Dimmblá, but Dimmblá is designed by Þórður Péturson and belongs to his collection of greatly successful salmon patterns.
The fly is a great option for the Atlantic Salmon and Dimmblá has become one of Iceland’s best-designed salmon flies of all time. It’s a fancy fly in many ways but simple enough to tie and totally worth it to keep a few in your box when chasing the wild Atlantic Salmon.

Hello there, My name is Ívar Örn Hauksson and I’m an Icelandic enthusiast about fly fishing and fly tying. I lived almost my whole life in Iceland and have been doing flyfishing and fly tying since I was about 10 years old. I learned and was narrated by two of the most talented fly tiers in the country, Jón Sigurðsson and Jón Pedersen. I am a lawyer by education and an Ahrex Pro Team member. The goal with my new channel is to preserve Icelandic flies and related knowledge as well as guidance. The channel also opens up the world of Icelandic fly tying for beginners in Iceland and abroad. The Ívar’s Fly Workshop channel will post new material every Tuesday and Saturday until the spring of 2021. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to comment on the videos.
