Tying a Fly Called Grábjört Nymph
Tying a Grábjört
Here we will be tying the fly Grábjört from the personal collection of my mentor, Jón Sigurðsson. Jón was a mastermind when it comes to tying and designing flies, one of Iceland’s best fly tier and designer.
He had a vast collection of flies that can be found in some books about Icelandic fly tying. However, Grábjört is a great option for both stream and lake fishing. It’s simple to tie and it catches both brown trout and arctic char.
Fully recommended by myself and my 30 years of experience in fly fishing.

Hook: Ahrex traditional nymph no. 10.
Thread: UNI 8/0 black.
Body: ½ black wool ½ stone grey wool, mixed together and dubbed on.
Wing: Grey feather of a mallard duck.
Head: Black.
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.
