I would like to duplicate this article

I would like to duplicate this article in my fly fishing club newsletter with the proper reference to authors,artist,photographer, and etc.

How do I obtain permission to do so?

t-shirt

Summiters, I have been waiting for some feedback regarding t-shirts for weeks but I haven´t had any response at all. Not sure about Martin. Then I guessed no-one was interested.

....nice you have brought it up, but unfortunatelly, it´s too late now and I won´t be able to arrange for t´s this year. :oops:

Someone else may have appropriate resources for a reasonable price.

Wakie, wakie 😄 , it is about time!

Hi all,

I have po

Hi all,

I have posted a potential T-Shirt design in the forum page for the Summit 2008 (page 2) - just in case we have one made!

It was designed in MS Paint so it's about as basic as it gets, but I think you'll get the idea!

See you at the summit.

Re: Logo

Hi All,

Regarding Ripleys suggestion:

Here are two more "absolutely amateur" designs for the front of the T-Shirt, with the middle design being the back of the T-Shirt.

Enjoy 😄

T-Shirt Logo

Hi Ripley,

I was actually thinking that the logo would look better on the left hand side of the chest after I had posted the pic, also that is where most of the team logo's are placed, (On the heart!) :idea:

Don't know if anyone will try and make it, it was just a quick idea that popped into my head whilst bored at work :)

I will buy one if somebody has it made though...... no pressure anyone! 😉

Regards
Jonathan

Logo

Hi Jonathan,

Wouldn't the logo look better aligned on the left side of the chest, maybe even centered?

Nice a simple.

Just for information...The fish are gathering. I won't give sizes and numbers but they are arriving. No disappointment here.

See you all soon.

Regards
Ripley

Re: Potential T-Shirt Design

Thanks Jonathan, but no problems with that.

If anybody wants to do anything here, I can provide a high rez logo. Let me know here or per email.

Potential T-Shirt Design

Hi all,

Well I was bored at work and after reading the posts under the Summit 2008 article I came up with a basic design for the Summit 2008 T-Shirt, in case it is decided to create some. It was designed in MS Paint so please forgive the absolute lack of skill involved! 😄

I didn't want to use any logo's from the website as to not infringe on copyright, but I think/hope you'll get the idea!

Hope the image works!

See you all at the Summit

Paul,

I generally

Paul,

I generally use the same number of turns for all sizes of leaders, which is about 5-6. As long as the knot really "bites" into the fly line and tightens well, my experience that this number will work well.

I have used the knot for coated wire bite tippets for pike fishing, but never mono-to-mono. A large part of its strength comes from the mono gripping the coating of the line it's tied on to, so I'm not sure mono-to-mono would work.

Just followed your instructions

Just followed your instructions using Barge cement, felt and my trusty 12 year old Battenkill wading boots. Headed to Idaho for a week soon. Will let you know if the felt replacement job held up.

Excellent article.

Excellent article. I have sharpened my dowels and tried some test eyes. Note on handling Goop or any silicones....If you dip your fingers in a bowl of solution made up of dishwasher rinse fluid and water, the silicone will not stick to your fingers and make a mess. As long as your fingers are wet with the solution, you can move and shape the Goop on the fly until it starts to set up. The solution can be stored indefinitely and a cup will last for a year or more.

Thanks for an excellent site with wonderful and interesting information. I spend hours looking at posts and learning!

Hello how are you it

Hello how are you its good to see another Kjensmo intrested in fishing . I'm in south carolina usa just thought I would drop a line its always fun to see what a relative is doing. Write me back Geir.

GFF

Martin, thanks a lot. We will probablly arive on Thursday and will stay on Helnaes. We will try to contact our Slovak friend Vanuz and try to meet you to have a chat or have a bottle of Czech beer :-)

Pike,

Pike,

Sure we can meet. We expect to be at the water most of the Saturday and Sunday. Drop me a mail or a PM, and we can coordinate.

Martin

In case someone else

In case someone else needs the instructions, here they are:

1. If the shrink-wrap tubing is already on the braid, move it up to the loop before starting (if it's not on the braid, thread the shrink-wrap onto the braid first)
2. Insert the end of the fly line into the open end of the braid and use the "inchworm" technique to move the braided sleeve down the flyline. Make sure 1" of the fly line is inside the braided sleeve.
3. Move the shrink-wrap down so that 1/2 is on the fly line and the other 1/2 is on the braided line.
4. Using a heat source (not an open flame), shink the tubing to secure the connector.

Now go fishing.

Gino, did you notice

Gino, did you notice that they aren't talking about silk, they're talking about monofilimant?
