The Klinkhammer or Klinkhammer Special came on the scene with fly fishermen in the United States recently, during the past few years. It is a very effective trout fly designed to imitate an emerging caddis. The Klinkhammer was originally tied by Hans van Klinken, a Dutch fly fisherman. Word of this fly quickly found it’s way to Europe where it became very popular.

We have many streams in the United States that are heavily populated with caddis. The Klinkhammer is now very popular here as an effective fly fishing tool for trout in the US. Anglers in the Great Smoky Mountains and in East Tennessee found the pattern worked well. It is popular among tailwater anglers as the fly rides in the surface film and fools many trout in clear slow moving water. Spring creek anglers are fond of the Klinkhammer as well.  

Available in size #12 through #16.
