Do not forget the number of fish. In Skjern you catch (on average) a salmon after 20 days of fishing in 2013 - so now the price is cheaper in Iceland 250 euro/salmon - in Skjern you pay 500 euro to catch one salmon( 20x 25 euro= 500 euro/salmon)

Bob, great job on the article! It brought back fond memories of the spit and how a seemingly easy place to catch fish can make you feel like a rooky kid all over again. Nothing worse than fish rolling and jumping feet away from you and nothing in your fly box even remotely interesting them.

Glad to see I was not the only one humbled by a fishing hole :-)

Nice fly and very effective. I tie a similar variety of this excellent pattern which I think i got from a Pennsylvania website. It can be a killer with a copper head. A variation I use is tying the rear hackle with olive CDC whilst retaining partridge for the front hackle..

Images very poor! Amateur images!! The fishing spot is excellent, but lack professionalism in filming ....

Wonderfully touching story. I'm teaching my seven-year-old granddaughter to tie flies and fly fish, and the unbridled exuberance she displays is good tonic for someone who has worn deep ruts along the stream bank for more than half-a-century.

Nice, almost brought a tear to my eye, OK, there was a tear. Its funny I've caught lots of fish over the last 20 years of fly fishing, but I will always remember my very first trout like it was yesterday. Just thought about that trout again, as I was reading your story.

Try Youtube, and search for "white spotted char jpn", and watch what the Japanese flyfishers use. Foam, probably foam sleeping mat with short nylon "spikes" either thick nylon or cable ties, and a catch measurer on the side. Looped over their shoulder and floats on the water.
I'll be trying this season.

The person cutting the foam cyclinder from the glued flip flop should use a brass tube. These brass tubes are available in any size. You cut the brass tube the size needed, sharpen on edge and take the other end and place in rotary drill. You will be able to cut many popper bodies this way.
P.S. The brass tubing is available at any hardware store or handyman hardware store.

Great page and Tony is a MASTER! I don't know why I have not heard of him before, but he is so excellent I will look for him at the various shows I attend.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

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.
