Hi Paul, Can you let me know the location of the lake that you had your photos taken fishing the little red devil on one of your sites. This has been debated with my friends on its exact location. I have tried to google it but failed to find it.
Hi Martin, Thanks for replying to me,I take it that the waters are in Wales can you narrow it down to North ,Mid or South Wales. Regards JR
Outstanding book. Well presented, great photographs of fly patterns. Includes the most popular saltwater flies with detail instructions. I recommend this book to all beginners and intermediate fly tiers. I give it an A+

Hello Martin:
The pike is more beatiful than the fisherman ... 😄
Thank you, greetings for all people
romanillos,
Whoa! What a monster! And the fish too... no, just kidding ;-)
That's a very nice pike. No wonder if you were a bit shaken.
Merry Xmas and a happy New Year to you too.
Martin
W I J Rees,
I honestly have no clue to where it was in detail or what its name was. I was driven there by small mountain gravel roads, over private land, through gates and whatnot, and my impression was that it was a small, private water, rarely fished by outsiders.
Martin
please can you let me know the location of this reservoir? I have tried to google its location.
Born and raised a few miles down stream (Cattle Flat) from where this was shot . Typical early season conditions. Don't catch many large trout (6 lb plus) here.
Typical size is usually 2-4 lb mark, but all in prime condition and tend to be extremely wary and selective as to be expected from a wild hatchery. Deserving of it's world class reputation
Please note, I have added quite a few specimen dressings tied by various
other fly dressers.
Alexander,
A Merry Christmas to you and all the other GFF visitors!
Martin
Martin,
This is too cool!!! I have rods that are called "Float and Fly." They are a spinning rod built from a fly rod blank. Mine are both 9 foot and probably translate into a 6 or 7 weight. I am using the newly released Nanofil line which is super slick. I'm now going to build a trial shooting head using your directions and give it a try on the Nanofil.
Hi Tom
You've shown me the earlyer models of the fine reels you've made at our club evenings.
And I thought had an idea of what your capable of.
But your new creation realy is something else it not only looks great it runs smooth to pure stroke of geniouse how you've used the fish desin as base plate.
Best regards Gert
Charlie, you look great behind that vise. Your Maine Game Warden streamer is one of my favorites. I look forward to seeing some of your other creations as well as stopping by for a visit in the near future :)
It really is a wonderful fly. I just recieved several of Charlies flies and will be including them in the project. :) Thanks Charlie, it's an honor to have your streamers included.

Thank you Charlie, I am looking forward to visiting you in the near future. Your Maine Game Warden Streamer Fly has always been one of my favorites and will share a prominent space on my office wall.
Nicely done, gents! Beautiful work, and a nice sentiment.
David: I just visited your web site as posted on streamers 365. I am looking forward to seeing your flies on the project 365. I hope you enjoy the project as much as I do. Thanks for posting your picture I hope you enjoy what am sending you.
