Flyfisherman´s Inari and Teno Rivers

The flies that recognized in the rivers Inari and Teno are useful for salmon year after year - by learning the conditions of each fly pattern of different weather, waterlevel, temperature and even surrounding nature. Every season brings out some hot patterns - that are no use for the next season. But a few of those hot patterns will outlast and become a popular pattern for several years.
