Thanks for the kind words...
FYI...
There is a short second junction tube tyed/epoxied into the head for better balance and a more natural dead drift...my hook forward DualTube design is a bit of an arts/crafts epoxy project so I tend not to use them when there are abusive toothy critters cruisin' for trouble...
Similar in swimming appearance to large flatwings but with an epoxy head, BIG eyez, and interchangeable hooks (heavy=deep / light=shallow)...
I too have come close to being a recipient of the dreaded McKenzie forehead branding...HOT! :oops:
About a year ago I started using the DayLightCompany.com table to lamp and there's NO going back...
I am very pleased with the quality, colour rendition, cool temp, and swing away magnifying glass option.
The base is robust (as is the price)...I wish I had gone there straight away...NO REGRETS! 😄
Chris,
This fish was caught in Denmark near Copenhagen.
Martin
where was this caught
Svieki vytautas,
Kaip sekasi?
Well, if your here for that long then there's a good chance to hook up a few times.
The GFF summit would be a good chance to meet up otherwise we can plan another day.
Regarding the flies - Definately bring them. If you don't use them - I will! I am pretty confident they will work. Picture 2889, 2891, 2893 are winners for sure.
Also, tie some without the dumbell weighted heads. Unweighted flies, especially in autumn, work very well. Seeing a sea trout raise the water as it speeds towards your fly is enough to get the heart racing. Autumn is a time when sea trout long to show themselves by jumping, turning and rolling on the surface.
Drop me a line and we'll work something out.
2 months in Denmark? Doing what?
I am in Lietuvoje in October visiting family and to do some fishing along the Ula, Merkys, Salcia and Zeimena. Celepinai, vedarai with good alus! 😉 😉 😉
Iki pasimatymo!
Ripley
Helge,
Sure enough... but being in a cabin not too close to civilasation gave us two alternatives: these glasses (meant for bitters or schnaps) or sipping directly out of the bottle. Being fairly civilized we chose the least barbarian of the two...
Martin
Hi Martin, nice pictures, but what an unsuitable glas for the water of life.
Take care
Helge
Hey Ripley, thanks for the note, I will drop you an email :!:
I am comming September 15-16 and it seems will be staying for couple months
it would be great to participate in the GFF summit, but I don't know details of my trip yet :(
Here is some flies I tied (not to mention all the paterns that I've found here on GFF) These are some modifications of all the great flies that can be found here
What do you think - should I try them or leave them at home :oops:
Hello,
I read testimonials about ZipCast on the Fly Fisherman Bulletin Board and ordered a bottle. I was so impressed that I became a dealer of ZipCast and now offer ZipCast to the International market. I usually refrain from self promotion, but since the gentleman from the UK asked how he can get ZipCast I felt compelled to respond. If you wish to know how to place an International order drop me an email and put ZipCast in the subject line.

If somebody wants to join my long journey from Frankfurt / Main, please contact me.
It's no problem to pick you up on the towns along my way (Kassel, Hannover, Hamburg, Flensburg, etc.)
finde ich gut, Kinder & Familie gehen vor - aber dann nächstes Jahr, da gibt es dann keine Alternative und Du weist, an wenn Du Dich dranhängen kannst
Wünsch was und tight lines

Hallo Florian!
Vielen Dank für Dein Angebot, leider nur kommt es ETWAS zu spät.
Mist!
Da ich so lange keine Möglichkeit gesehen hatte, hatte ich mit meiner ExFrau für das Summit-Wochenende vor ein paar Tagen ein Kinderwochenende für mich vereinbart.
Nun bin ich also anderweitig ausgebucht.
Schade ... ich wäre gerne dabei gewesen!
Nochmals danke!!

Du bist ein Berliner, dann kann ich auch in deutsch schreiben!
Wenn Du möchtest, könnte ich Dich in Hamburg, Hannover oder Flensburg aufsammeln.
Mir der Bahn in die City Deiner Wahl und dann sollte das kein Problem darstellen.
Tight lines

Hi Mike
Many Thanks for your offer of help. Dean Lamont, the guide in question, only sent through a copy of Wanda's e-mail which translates to a 'yahoo' account. I'll send you that through together with Dean's details and request that he copies the original to you and also refers it to the FTC - Federal authorities (?) - as you've suggested.
Although several of our Club members - Sportfishing Club of the British Isles - have fished the Outer Banks in the winter for the BFT this will be the first trip of any of us to the shallow water, sight fishery.
But whilst, on the one hand the Internet, and search engines offer unrivaled opportunities to make contact with such guides it's galling that criminals attempt to also exploit the potential 'opportunities'.
I'm sure Dean and the other guides will be most appreciative of your assistance.
Many Thanks
Dave
Just stumbled on your article. I am an avid sea trout fisher in Orkney and can't believe how similar most things are!! Our average size is smaller - about 1.5 lb but you have larger streams which has a genetic bearing on fish size.Very interested to hear of your night fishing - traditionally this is practically unheard of in Orkney.Therefore, I must give it a shot! Although during June, July and August I concentrate my efforts on the excellent loch fishing, I have caught sea trout in the sea during all these months but not consistently.Probably making the mistake of fishing the same spots I frequent in Spring and not seeking out deeper, cooler water. Anyway, must go - so glad I discovered your article. Tight lines!!
I fished Riverbend Saturday and did much as you did. Lots of those scrappy sunfish with the big mouths and a bunch of small Smallmouth bass. I did have a two pounder on for one jump and a much bigger fish rolled at a popper but didn't care to eat it. I have never seen the river this low. I went out to the Shenandoah near Berryville on Sunday to take a look and there are sand and gravel bars where they have never been before. Lots of big carp as well.
Mike,
I hope the pattern will make your day. I have fished in Wanganui 10 years ago...phew!
Let us know if you catch any, and upload some pictures from N.Z and your coming fishing trips in the gallery. It would be great to see a New Zealand trout hooked on foamy wasp...or just some pics from Wanganui and Tongariro.

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
