Good patterns for sand eels/lance?

Hi,

Here in Denmark, we have a sand eel/lance frensy at the moment. I think that
all the larger seatrout are having a feast these days. The waters are filled
with sand eels/lance.

Anyone knows any good patterns?

I thought about using a short hank hook like the TMC 811S og a Mustad 47S (i
think) with a dark colored polarfibre wing(maybe more colors), and a
golden/silver tube mylar head, with 3d stick-on-eyes covered with epoxy.

Anyone got some words of wisdom to add? )

Short shank hooks with long "wings" are no good for seatrout. You get
takes, but no hook ups. You might like to try this;

Interesting reading. Though I dont agree on your "no hook up" statement. )

And the section about Danes using pilchard oil?!?!! I'm Danish, I've been
flyfishing for the last 15 years now (I'm only 25 years old), and I've never
heard of the usage of pilchard oil in fishing?!?! I've asked other people,
and noone has heard of it either. Where have you seen this?

OK, "No hook ups" is perhaps a little exaggerated, say "fewer hook ups"
instead. I have met a number of Danes on Jutland,Als, and Fünen, that used
pilchard oil on their flies.
