I thought Petitjean

I thought Petitjean originated the use of CDC in roping the body for a CDC caddis ;-).... and i don't recall Hans Weilenmann's name in association with the origination of the ElkHair Caddis....i could be mistaken though. So if i were to take a classic Catskill Dry fly like say, The adams and use CDC puffs for wings --- could i then claim to be it's originator?

this picture is amaz

this picture is amazing! Never seen a pic before that showed so clearly why a fish might bite on a fly - well done, Tomaz.

If you know someone

If you know someone who is a surgeon or works in operating rooms....they have lots of cautery tools there. They can only use them once and then they throw them out. Nothing can be better than $free.99

Re: Lazy fish

Nah, I was totally devestated! This was in the winter last year, and I just went fishing all too much hoping for some opening. I should know that fishing in January and February on the Danish coast is only for stupid anglers ridden by severe cabin fever.

This year I have been out three times (3!) and have caught one fish and lost one. And we're in mid-February. That's a much better statistic than 19 empty-handed trips in the same period. I caught the first fish of the year on March the 24th last year! Yikes!

Very nice fly but would prefer to see a second source of light used for a back light to help soften the very pronounced shadow.

Hi Martin, do you know any Danish internet shop which is run in English language to? I would like to buy this DVD but I am not able to do it because I do not really speak Danish:-) Thanks

Tomaz,

Great stor

Tomaz,

Great story. It seems that you might have caught the saltwater addiction. I anxiously await part two.

That was fun reading

In the recently reviewed

In the recently reviewed Clouser's Flies book there are a number of small gamefish imitations. The Baby Smallmouth fly is touted as being particularly lethal. In the old, old, (old?) days, before laws were written a small Largemouth Bass or Bluegill hooked through the lips or gently under the dorsal fun was a sure thing. Illegal as Hell but not to a kid looking to catch a big fish.

Lazy fish

>>>>I was in NWT, Canada once fishing for Arctic char, and we could see the fish under the water. Man were thay lazy! Something very different from an active springtime fish... <<<<

It was like that here. The fish were interested but not hungry. They were following my offerings and even swiping at them, but never with the intention of eating.

In a lake here in Northern Virginia last September I caught decent bass on six consecutive casts and probably landed between thirty and forty fish in an afternoon. When you hit it like that it makes you believe in yourself and convinces you that you are not a complete dolt. When I would cast the bass were lining up to take the fly. I just didn't know where to turn at the outflow. We are getting a small storm here right now and when it clears I am going to try and go back. It is suppose to be up into the 40's here on the weekend so I will try again.

Ninteen skunked trips in a row? Wow, Martin. What control you have. Or did you?

By the way, how do you highlight a paragraph that you are responding to in red?

Hi Guys!

Hi Guys!
You can also use the Sponge-tool (Photoshop and Elements, ed.) in desaturation mode! It´s quite simple because the only thing you have to do is desaturating all parts you want in B&W!

Re: Warm water outflows

Heh! So much for warmwater fishing, huh Bob?

But nice to be able to get out and fish (and catch) anyway. we have had very little success during this winter here. My last trip was a skunk, but I still have 18 to go to my all time record of 19 skunked trips in a row.

I just recorded a podcast on winter fishing by the way, and one of the things I talk about is how slow the fish can be in the cold water. I was in NWT, Canada once fishing for Arctic char, and we could see the fish under the water. Man were thay lazy! Something very different from an active springtime fish...

Great infomation

Great infomation on bones. Gives me great headstart on who to contact when in the islands on my next trip. I'm a novice flyfisherman so never caught any bones before- sounds like excitement and thrills on the hookups. Hooking trevallys would do also.

I've opened a lodge

I've opened a lodge on the on the Grand River, and have been searching for decor that would give the common and dinning areas that welcoming, warm, nastalgic feel. I've searched high and low, and haven't found another artist that captures these things so successfully. Very good find!

I have been in Matt's home and seen his work on all the walls. These are great pictures but do not display the wonderful talent as when you seen them in person. I highly recommend his work to anyone.

Oliver Edwards is legend, I've seen the DVD of his prawn tieing and everything comes together, i owe many trout catches to the man.

I prefer to wade fish

I prefer to wade fish for bones on my own without a guide.
Are there any options for getting to good fishing areas without paying for a guide?
