Hi Kasper, good stuf

Hi Kasper, good stuff. Any fly needs its eyes to see, of course :))) I intend to experiment with some epoxy material also, what exactly was the material you have used? ....just to make sure I´ll ask for the right thing when shopping in danish fishing shops :)

Hello Peter and Ripley,

Hello Peter and Ripley,

I think we should have one or two days of fishing when I visit your nice island. Thanks for your responses and your prettiness to show me some spots.

I think you are really great guys.

See you,

Dude, had there been an angler standing on the biggest rock swangin' a cane stick it'd be cover material since she/ he'd be standing right in the golden spot!

Interesting Patterns for the rag Worm. That would Work Great in the Southern California Surf... 😉

How about a description of how the extended body is constructed??

Shrimps

Hi Hoppy,

Fantastic pattern!
Stick with them. Don't use any other pattern..!

I use shrimps about 90% of the time. They are a sure winner.
Tie them off on hook sizes 8 and 6. Singles of course!

I have seen a straw shrimp sometime ago, can't remember where. May of been Paul Arden at Sexyloops...?

Remember: what sea trout eat? SHRIMPS, ragworm, sand ticks and small fry.

Amazing pictures! Th

Amazing pictures! Thank you for sharing them!
I found this online video tutorial @ colorbalancecoach.blogspot dot com on how to read the photographic histogram, I hope that it can add to this article, and can help you as much as it did for me!

Have enjoyed greatly

Have enjoyed greatly this article on photographic equipment. It's good to see what equipment other people use, I have been using a Canon G5 for a couple of years now, and it has a great range of features. Also have a Fuji A120, 3.2 mb, it's a naff camera ( the flash does'nt work ) but I have had some good pics with it.
I have also just invested in a Canon 400D, which is 10 million pixels, now I have to get round to buying a couple of decent lenses to go with it for my fishing pictures. Close up stuff I particularly like - because a lens can pick out information that an eye cannot see.
My eyes anyway!!!

I liked your shrimp.

I liked your shrimp. Fine. Thanks

We're not a shop

Antonio,

We're not a shop. We do not sell hooks, so we cannot help you. You need to inquire by a dealer or online store.

Horstmann,

Horstmann,

PM your email adress, and I`ll send you some updates on the fishing this winter/spring. If you need a local while on the West Coast, I`ll take you to some of "my places"(could be the same as Ripleys 😄 ) if I`m not busy.

That should be the West Coast well covered 😉

Cheers,
Peter

That's an Indo-meun!

That's an Indo-meun! Recognize the silhouette anywhere. Good atmosphere.

Nice shot!

Hans,

I'll have one :D

I'll have one 😄

The fly tieing is fantastic

Just to say I think Bob Pettis style of fly tieing is fantastic. When I e-mail him he always get back to me, and has encouraged me to keep on tying.

Contact

I tell you what...

You send me your email and telephone number and I will contact you when fishing hits the high points.

If I am free when you are here next, I'll take you to some of my known waters.
In addition...Drop me an email and I'll mention a few places you could try in March and April.

I'll also throw in some helpful advice on that will put you that much closer to sea trout.

Good enough for you?

Ripley

I think a lot of it comes

[quote:e7f78da5b5]I think a lot of it comes from knowing your spots. If you know where to fish I don`t think the difference between the "two sides of Fyn" is that big. [/quote:e7f78da5b5]

Well, probably this is the point and even the problem. Just reading the guide-book of fyn will not help to find those spots. And even in a whole week of fishing it could be happen not to find the fish. I think this is an experience nearly every Sea trout fisherman has made.

So that was my basic question. Do you know nice places to fish in march or april? Or do you have special tips for example when the water is extremely cold or extremely warm to that time? But I think we will get a looooong winter expecting the temperatures at the moment. :shock:

As a non-local it was to any time a little dream to know someone who gives me a call and says:" It is the best time right now - you should come and join the coastline of fyn!"

I would be very thankful if you have some contacts to locals or even yourself provide this little service for me. 😄

@Ripley
Very interesting homepage. I did not expect a full time guiding service on fyn.

Greetings,

horstmann

Adam, that time of y

Adam, that time of year is cold but if you fish the Church Pool in Barkhamsted you can do well especially if the temps moderate. Woolly Buggers, nymphs, a good choice. Good Luck. Alan.

I'd like one too!!!!!!!!!

It would be one-of-a-kind here in Mexico City!

Could you find out how much would freight to Mexico be?

Thanks for your kind words!!!!!!!!

Don´t you worry, I´ll keep on posting my flies so all of you can dissect them!!!!!!!!!

Here in Mexico I have very little feedback from really experienced tyers. I'm probably the most experienced fly tyer (or as my wife says "tie flyer"!!!!!!) in Central Mexico.

May you have a very merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlos.
