Micro Tungsten Dentist

Dentist is primarily known to be an effective brown trout fly, but here in Iceland it is also known as a very effective salmon fly, and especially in late summer or autumn when the black and orange colors start to match the environment colors of autumn.

The Dentist was originally designed by Kolbeinn Grimsson and was named after the tiers good friend, the dentist Petur Olafsson. It is said that it was without a name to start with until Petur asked Kolbeinn, the designer, what is the name of this fly – Kolbeinn then said; Dentist!

Here we have Dentist tied on a heavy copper tube with a gold brass conehead.

An absolute must in the arsenal before coming to Iceland.

Here we can see the dentist tied as a streamer, which it originally was designed to be.
