I have east branch 9' 4wt 3 piece rod, which I've got more than 13years ago, by internet shopping.
I have many famous brands flyrods, but east branch rod is my most favarite rod, best action, easy to
rollcast, and beautiful handmade craftmanship. I am looking for east branch rods through internet for longtime.
Ernesto,
You and I have discussed this several times before, and I know your opinion about people paying to fish places where few of us can go. But you have to get used to that fact. I will keep on publishing good fishing videos, articles and images no matter how much it offenses you. If your standards were applied on GFF, very little would find its way to these pages.
People can pay to go fishing places that are not publicly accessible. That's the way it is and the way it has been for a very long time. You and I may not be able to go, but that doesn't make it less interesting.
Money can get you a lot of places. You and I might think that it should be different, but that's how it is. Whether it's buying a big car, a fancy fishing rod or access to closed off areas, money can be the key. And stopping fishing in Lago Strobel, Iceland, the Kola Peninsula, the Seychelles or any other expensive fishing destination is NOT going to save the world or stop starvation. I wish it was, but it's not.
This might not be the best video we have published here, but people are viewing it, and it's certainly not offending in any form.

It might change the fly a little bit, but you could bulk it up a little with some floss under the mylar.
Money buys everything!! Places, food, even fish .... it is an abuse to see the rich with huge fish in Strobel in Las buitreras, and Tsimane, in Rio Grande, while there are people starving in the world ... stop publishing these abuses of power and lust, it is very offensive!
Lorenzo,
All the stream pictures are from the Fraser river in Colorado. It's a good little stream that hasn't disappointed me yet.

I think your videos are great. I would like to try some of the Classic Flies. I have watched you building a wing, you make it look so easy. Where can I purchase the dyed Turkey Tails, I have tried using Goose, not very successful.
Kind Regards

Sean,
It's the top fly - nearest to the rod - when you fish more than one fly, and in particular more than one dropper - the flies tied on the line above the point fly, which is the last one in the row. Read this article for way more on fishing several flies and droppers.
Martin
I am new to fly fishing. I have tied flies for about a year now give or take a month. I am a differently able person and haven't found anyone who wants to take me on and teach me the casting, and presentation 2/3 of the sport. But I keep hearing English, and Scottish, Irish tiers too, mention a top dropper. What is it. I know there must be nymphs tied to it somehow, because I heard one fellow tier say, "This is a good top dropper it will hold up a couple of tungstens." This page came up when I googled, What is a top dropper?
Hi,
In defining the length of the CDC "wing" Hans says "The length of the body". I wonder if he really means the length of the hook shank.....The "body" of a fly is often defined as the abdomen as opposed to the abdomen and the thorax...?
Thanks
Does anyone know what happened to Hans Weilenmann's danica.com site ??

Pit,
It's like the low water flies for salmon. If you want a small fly, but want a sturdy hook, you can simply tie a smaller fly on a hook that was originally meant for a larger size fly. It will appear smaller.
I used these flies for sea trout in the autumn, where a small fly is often a key to success, but where a hook in size 12 or 14 might be just a bit too small to hold the fish.
Martin
Hello Martin, thx for these red tag variations. I love this red tag a lot; but why fixing such a little red tag on such a large hook? What's the reason and what kind of fish do you aim at?

I like the look of this fly. Would a pearl mylar tube work instead of the pearl tinsel to cover the floss?
hi tom. Can you explain the functions of the gear wheel
Requesting the Ballathie House fly recipe. Stayed for ~10 days and had a marvelous time! Beautiful fly displayed in the bar and would love to recreate for a shadowbox for myself. Did not have enough time to preplan & schedule a reservation on the beat along the river Tay...though it wasn't 200 feet from our room window. Cannot recommend the hotel enough for any traveler! Incredible food & staff attention!!!
Well done Steve, these would make great rainbow fry lures..
Steve, I really really liked this one!!!
What a wonderful story! Is this coming out in theaters or DVD release?
Thanks,
Ben
Adam,
Thanks for sharing your Glitter John pattern with us. I also really appreciate the photo's of the trout stream in the picture. Enough to further ask of you: "Where would you say this stream is located?" It looks like wonderful stream to fish for trout.
great bass fishing on a beautiful section of river ,here in the us I fish a short rod with popers for smallies,, I had a trip to Victoria ,on the lodon river near the town of newstead and caught some huge redfin and actualy saw a few brown trout cruising the grass, wag tails every where and the call of the kooabura,,pure heaven,,, I loved it....
I am totally new to fly fishing and fly tying. I would like to thank you for the easy instructions for tying flies, but my problem is I have no idea what the difference is in a wet and dry fly. Could you possibly give me a guideline so that I will know what to use and how to differentiate between them. Thanks very much.
THANKS A GREAT FLY, I just picked up some of These feathers on my riverbank and used them to bind a handfull of variations . They look great they jigg great and I will try them as perch flies

Tyler, I work for a Norway company in Colombia and the Altillanura. i'm a fly fishing buff. If you need to know where to fish, please let me know. Carlos is my friend since 15 years ago and with another firiends we make fishing trips to that zone.
Very nicely done, your fly is simply elegant.
… I have a small favor to ask.
