Hey Jan, had to find

Hey Jan, had to find this for myself since you didn't send it to me! Wanna bring one of these wee mammas to 4Oaks for me? Can't wait to see if it works in Scotland as good as you say!

Nice one though mate.

Great page

Hi Ripley, good to see you

Hi Ripley, good to see you are making sure the trout is in good shape, we don't want any sloppy ones this time either.

Friday

Sveiki,

You know me - as visada atostogauju 😄
Your welcome to join me as long as you bring "alu Svyturys" - and plenty of them, galbut degtine?
We can fish until about 15:00 then head of to the accommodation in Odense to meet the rest of the tribe and brag about all the fish we have caught 😉

Contact me (ripleydavenport@mail.com), and we can confirm a time and meeting place on the Friday.
Those that know me will know where I'll be taking you and the fish you'll probably catch 😉

Iki ir gero kelio.

Roolis,

Roolis,

There are probably several people who will fish Friday, and I'm sure that you will have company. Regarding a location, Ripley will be the right person to ask. There are other locals on our list, and I will rely on them to answer you.

Fyn is a good place to fish because there is always a place, which can be fished - almost no matter the wind.

I will post my own plans for the Friday when I get more details on the logostics of the weekend, but I also expect to do some fishing before we meet at the hostel.

Martin,

What a shame on me..... sleepless night in Amsterdam is a reason... originaly I was planing to come on thursday . That is why i had some concerns regarding accomodation from thursday to friday.

Now my plans are changed and I am coming on Friday and hostel is already booked , so no need to warry.

Me and Mindaugas are in the list and tomorrow we will transfer 1400DK for both of us ..

Sorry for a mess.

But I still have question about fishing in early friday. Can you suggesta place?

Thanks

Hi Steve will you be

Hi Steve will you be at the game fair In Nov at trent and gardens Stoke,

Hello Ruza,

Hello Ruza,

Where are you from? If you go through this forum and look at the titles you will see several threads about fishing for odd species with a fly. Channel Catfish and Carp are my two best non-typical fly rod species so far.

Good luck.

Roolis,

Roolis,

People on this list http://globalflyfisher.com/about/summit2007/#persons have a bed in the hostel - provided they booked one... and pay me.

There are more beds available there, and you can probably still fit in in one of our 8-bed rooms. We're 27 in thos rooms and a little math says that there must be... ehr... 5 beds available. If you or your friends need that, please let me know ASAP. We closed the booking a long time ago, but I might still fix something.

nice grayling!

nice grayling!

Well organized

this is a very well organized and well written useful note!!

prior to GFF '07

This time last year I was catching some fine trout and this year seems to be no different.
Just 2 hours in the salt gave 5 trout, all coloured but fat fighters.
Smallest 45 and largest 57cm.
Looks like I'm going to bag a few hundred before you lot arrive - again!!!!!

Jody,

What you se

Jody,

What you see is what you get:
- A lined Bidoz aluminum tube, 15mm
- Black tying thread 6/0
- A short purple wing of Arctic fox
- A grizzly hen hackle

You can vary the color of the wing. A favorite of mine is the Orange Inkspot.
Fish it with a piece of plastic tube and a very small treble hook.

Simple as that

Martin

Hi Martin,
I would

Hi Martin,
I would like to know the pattern materials and possible tying instruction for the Purple inkspot! Thank you...Jody

Thanks for your post...

Thanks for your post...

In fact I know this book - I have it. German is no problem because this is where I come from...

Well the book is informative but I wanted to get some special tips for winter fishing. And you will find such informations not in this fishing guide. These "Rapsbande-books" do not give a detailed impression from the fishing spots - that's what I think. I have a few of them and I think they are perfect for beginners but I can not really get some information out of it which I did not know before. Perhaps this is why I fished there a few times - but not as I am going to - in the winter.

Cheers,

Hi Lars!
Small worl

Hi Lars!
Small world eh? Thanks. I fish them in deeper water or in stronger currents. Worked quite well. The wire is Ultra Wire, size SM, the hooks are size 14.
Good luck fishing them!
Best, and see you,
Martin

How do you pick

How do you pick a wallpaper from such a selection? Every time I'd look at it I would want to go back to the site and look at them all over again. Brilliant pics.

Hi Martin!

Long t

Hi Martin!

Long time no see :-). Positively great looking flies! Very delicate, and yet heavy - a difficult combination to obtain :-). Do you fish them the same way as "normal" Spiders?
Now I must go and get some colored wire and tie some myself :-).

Best regards,

Good tie Gary

Good tie Gary. The Hornberg is one of the best patterns in the book. I have caught countless trout on them. This fly is a must in my fly box.

Great job

Great job, Martin and GFF Staff!!
You wrote a complete book about tube flies. The best guide book we can see.
Congrats!

Dear Horstmann,

Dear Horstmann,
there is a very good book (in fact it is a series of books covering other Danish and Geman seatrout areas) on the fishing on Alsen. Pls. see the link.

These books are nicely illustrated and give a good introduction to the areas, the only downside i they are in German,

Greetings from a wad

Greetings from a wading equipment fanatic!

I've been flyfishing for over thirty years and have run the gauntlet on shoes and waders. I am now wearing either Chota STL Plus boots or LL Bean Aqua-Stealth Studded depending on what river and how much hiking I'am doing. The LL Beans last forever, are great for long hiking to the stream, and really adhere to everything except severe slime! The Chotas are super everywhere, especially on slime and moss but don't give the high ankle support on really long-long jaunts through the boonies to the river. I fish the Deerfield, Westfield, Housatonic, and Swift rivers in Western Mass., also several rivers in Maine and northern N.H., and these two combos of boots really fit the bill. I gave up on regular felt a long time ago because of the short life-span. The type of poly-felt that chota uses, and the sticky rubber that Bean uses lasts a super long time. I really give boots a workout. I fish almost every week including through the winter depending on the weather, and do a lot of long brush wacking to get to my spots. I highly recommend these two boots.
