The one thing we use a lot of glass beads on are woolly bugger patterns. A black wool with a red glass bead head, or an olive woolly with a green glass bead head and many other combinations. These variations all seem to work very well fishing rainbows in lakes.

There is one problem with glass beads. They are breaking up in cold weather. Some years ago I was winterfishing and used Mysisshrimp fly made of white glass beads. Temperature was something like -3 to -5.

Anike,

I don't think it's quite fair to complain about this article. Use the menu or the links and go to our gallery page. We have thousands of fishing pictures and extremely few of cameras!

You can even sumbit your own if you want to in our GFFpix-section.

Hi Vanuz,

Hi Vanuz,

I could take you to a few waters in Denmark to fish for grayling and browns if you can put up with an english man. ;-)

Just email me

Re: Hey Rybolov

That's about average for what I'm catching, with the occassional 18-inch or so big bass to make things interesting. About the time that you start to feel guilty about how many 12-inch smallmouth you are catching, a nice one will tie you on. I've only landed one big slab of bass, the others have managed to elude me thus far. 🙄

i got stung and it was painfull.

Hey Rybolov

I walked up to the pipeline above Riverbend Park yesterday. I spent about five hours making a huge clockwise circle starting at the lower rapids and ending up in the same spot. I caught about two dozen Smallmouths on poppers, muddlers, clousers, and my own Dad immitation in black. Saw lots of Smallmouth Bass in the still waters and caught most of mine in or just below moving water. Slow retrieve. Fast retrieve. No retrieve. Even with the air temp in the mid 90's the fish were active right through the afternoon. And those big strange Bluegills (What are they? Red-eared Sunfish or Warmouth? Never saw them in Massachusetts) fight like dogs and keep your attention when there are no bass on the line. But the bass are small. The biggest one I caught was about ten inches and the biggest one I saw was maybe two pounds. Are they averaging any bigger than that down at Turkey Run?

What a great way to spend a hot afternoon. Up to my waist in clear, flowing, relatively cool water catching fish.

Hi Esox,

Hi Esox,

Thank you for the information. As far as i have seen, the TFO has a very nice finish, I like the blue color.
On several other sites I have read very good comments about the TFO.
Hopefully this rod is not too stiff for my casting skills and style.
When i will be test casting this rod I will bring a clouser to cast with for sure.

I will keep you posted.
Lino

Thanks, Vanuz.

Thanks, Vanuz.

And for Lino; I would try TFO rods for sure. I have a nine foot, four piece, 5 weight and it has power. I cast hair bugs and clousers with it with a decent amount of distance. I have tried out the 7 weight version of the same rod and it is one you should consider. Have you thought of going up to a 9 weight for bigger flies? Ther is no shame in it. Really. (My go to rod lately is one I stole. I got a brand new 9 foot, 9 weigth GLX Loomis for $50. It was bought by a local land developer that wanted to try and catch a Tarpon. He flew to Key West and fished for about three hours before he got frustrated and quit. The rod was used for about fifty casts.) I use this rod for bass, shad, pike, carp and all of my salt water fishing. I can cast my biggest flies 100 feet and it really is not a broom stick. Of course the price would be $600 under normal circumstances. I used a 9 weight TFO and was impressed. And the price was in your range.

Thank you all for the reply.

Thank you all for the reply.
The next coming week I will be testing a couple of fishing rods in the store. Jiiehaa. Live can be beautiful. :)

Lino,

The HM2-series have been replaced by the HM3's, so that's why you find nothing on the site. I have an HM2 and it's an excellent rod. Check out whether you get classical snake eyes or modern one-foot eyes on the HM2's you have seen. The snake eyes are better in my opinion. The rod has been made with both.

And the TFO-rods are really great rods too. Like most other rod series there are some really sweet spot rods in the bunch, so make sure you test the exact model you intend to buy before letting go of your money.

Martin

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the information Vanuz.
I've looked on an internet shop and i see that the Scierra HM2 is now on sale. It's available for E 139,-
It's a pitty that i can't find any info on HM2 at the Sierra website..
Do you have any more information about this model?
Do you know the TFO TiCrX rod?

Cheers,
Lino

I have recently purchased

I have recently purchased Scierra HM2 aftma 7 for saltwater flyfishing, a pretty fast rod compared to my previous one.
As I always suggest: go to the shop, inform the shop assistant on your budget, get the rods selected by price and then start "tasting" the rods one by one. You will easily find out which suits the best... It may be a halfday shoppping, however, bear in mind how much time our wives usually spend shopping for shoes or handbags 😄 😄 😄

You can get those strips in different colours. If you use a red one in front it might look like gills.
Might improve it further.
I'll try to make some today.

Send me a ticket and I'd love to join in. On the other hand I think I'm supposed to be collecting gypsy moth traps yet.

Might try use plastic q-tips for the tubes. To use those, just clip off the cotton ends. You can buy a box of those for around $3.00. I would add some rubber legs and a strike indicator to the back. So what you are really saying is that all these fancy bits are a waste of time? No jungle cock eyes, no seal fur and what no hackle?
