Biografie: Ulf Hagström It all tracks back to my father. If he hadn't brought me along with him on his fishing days when I was a child I would never have gotten this lifelong love affair with fishing. Born and raised in Stockholm Sweden in the mid 70's I grew up fishing for Pike in the Baltic Sea. I discovered fly fishing late in life, never knowing what I missed until I met and became friends with some fanatic fly fishermen in the late 90s. Before I knew it I had taken all my savings and bought myself fly fishing equipment and a fly tying kit. My life and bank account has never been the same since. I fish as much as I can but not as much as I would like to. I am in love with the adrenaline rush of dry fly fishing, and in the magic nature of the Scandinavian north I am as close as I can be to heaven. Fly tying for me is as big of a passion as fly fishing is. I love to try and combine a realistic appearance with fishable attributes and I try to develop patterns that can both lure the pickiest of fish and at the same time would look great framed on the wall. Initially I got inspired by fly tying masters like Poul Jorgensen, Gary Lafontaine, Oliver Edwards and more, nowadays I find myself more inspired by studying the real insects in their own environment. There is a whole other world down there, under the surface, which we only visit from time to time with our crude imitations. |
