I, too, was stood up

I, too, was stood up by a Nervous Water guide. However, I went out on my own with absolutely no knowledge of the area. I had no problem finding bones. Everywhere I went, I saw them. Catching them was another story. These are tough fish and spook like the ones in the Keys. I managed to get several to take, but broke all 3 off thanks to nicked leaders and poor knots. Still, I had a wonderful time and it wouldn't be fun it weren't so challenging.

I am sure that after a few

I am sure that after a few days on the river the box looks like the filter in an industrial strength clothes dryer.

what is the melting

what is the melting temperature of super glue?

To much time...

Hey, Svieki,
I was always told that an angler with a well organised and balanced fly box spends to much time by the bench and not by the water...

However, given the bitter, icy and long winters in Lithuania, I am obliged to give Sarunas a break!!! He has the time to arrange and re-arrange his box of tricks every day while the streams are coated with that cold white stuff.

Is the picture a "before" or "after" the fly fishing season?

My box should be in the league of "Ripley's, Believe it or not!"

I agree with Steve. I have not visited the streams in Denmark this year for one reason or another...But next year, that must change.

Regards - Iki

I was not there, but really happy that the weather was ok, looking forward to see some more pictures.

Thank you!

Summit attendants,

Thanks a bunch for supporting the venue and making this a great event! I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, and my impression was that this was the case all the way roud. I have already recieved a lot of mails and the comments here also indicate general satisfaction. The weather was perfect as usual - inbetween two periods of heavy rain and hard wind!

I will post a report as soon as I get the time with a ton of pictures. ANd just keep them coming.

one word wow

Thanks for a great couple of

Thanks for a great couple of days! It was great to see the exotic country in the south. Now me and Jan has learned that "Fjernbus" is a train, that you have to be 21 to rent a car in Denmark and that the catch part of fishing is definitly not the most important thing.

Extra Kudos to Martin (organising and car-renting), Richard and Brian (great company and drivers), The German guy from Flensburg that drove us up nort sunday morning and to Jesper for driving us to the train in Nyborg sunday afternoon. Thanks to everyone in room 2 for not killing me for snoring.

And as so many else has said: Thanks Rolandos for all the laughs (SPACEGAY will never stop!)

This picture was the one I thought I'd attached to the above reply... Here he is again!!

and then...

Thank you to all you Summit 2007 Goers, especially to Martin for bearing the burden of work and the heat of the day when he could have been off quietly fishing somewhere.

Thanks to all you characters who made it such fun - we have just got home today, and we're still chuckling about the happenings, the stories and the people we met.

I add a picture of a photographer who no one will recognise. Perhaps he thought he was going to fall backwards into the soup, and that's why he wore his waders to the party...

Nan says I have not laughed so much for years, the whole summit has done me good.

Till next time, then, thanks and tight lines.

Regards,
Les and Nan[/img][img][/img]

Hello fellow fishing buddies

Hello fellow fishing buddies old and new,

Thank you Martin, Ripley, Branislav (Vanuz) for all your work to make GFF Suumit 07 another great fishing weekend.

It was great to meet all of you again from Gff Summit 06 and meet new guys this year. The company and the fishing stories were great to hear over the weekend. Rolandas and Mindaugas from Lithuania were a great comedy setup (Please come next year guys). I enjoyed all the comedy banter.

I must also say a big thank you to Kai and Paul for the famous "Kai hammerhead fly" it caught me 6 very nice fish on the friday (I will post some pics when i get myself organised) Some may say the fly is "ugly to the eye" but the fish loved it so thats all that counts.

Keep in touch all of you. just email me.

Steve

Me too...

I also would like to express my gratitude to Martin for organising another successful GFF summit.

It was an honour to meet old friends once again, and meet some new friends, all with a kind likeness and passion for fly fishing.
While the next GFF summit seems to far to fathom, the memories of this weekend will linger...

A sincere thank you to Branislav AKA Vanuz for organising the T-shirts. I got to know you a bit better this year.

We seemed to have engraved the GFF summit into our lives and as each year gets better, whispers and plans for the GFF '08 summit have been spoken.

A superb weekend complimented by fine weather, company, food, scenery and fish. It wasn't about the numbers and sizes caught but the stories (however far-fetched), associated with the catch. That's what we'll remember.

Lets keep this forum alive and talk more often.

Thanks to all. We all made it what it is.

I used to think putt

I used to think putting a sight bob on was just monkey fishing an absolute disgrace, but over the years i have to admit i do use them on still waters where i have taken many fish on the drifting wind which i find aceptable a certain times, my good friend Peter Whittle showed me that. But to go and cast out and just sit their thats monkey fishing lads.

That doesn't look like any of

That doesn't look like any of my fly box, it's too well organized. Those are some fantastic looking flies..

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
