Hi Martin,

I actually live in San Diego and you can contact me when you want to go fishing. If I am around I can take you fishing, subject to my working schedule. I travel a lot.

Depending on the time of the year there are several things to do, not all of them are fly fishing thogh.

Two websites to check out:

sdfish.com......the local fishing board

Try also a search on the web for Conway Bowman and Mako Shark on the Fly.

I do have a boat and we can go shark fishing, if you want, but no guarantees though. These beast are tricky.

Let me know when you are in San Diego.

Hello,
Very interesting tying and pattern of the BWO, I stumbled over this page looking for BWO patterns to tie for my trip to the provo river in Utah next April. If you could further help with American style patterns and fly sizes I would be very gratefull.

Here in the States this method we refer to as "high sticking" and takes can be seen by watching the bow in the line as you lead the offering downstream. One must strike often as delays caused by bottom structures can mimick a hit. Enjoyed the article and will be using the technique in Missouri in a couple of weeks.

Hi,

Hi,
I have looked at these leaders and have made my own with a slight variation.
Instead of having three hooks at the top I put two at the top and one at the bottom. After laying the loops for the first side of the leader I then carry on up the second side without breaking off the mono.
It does mean that although you can put 3 lengths in the first loop you have to have 5 lengths in the second and finally 5 lengths in the third loop (this does give a marginally steeper butt).
Wind the two sides in the same direction and then put them both on the same clip. The leader will then twist up as before but there is no need for a shorb loop on the tipped end.

Best regards,
Ian

Hopefully, we'll get some treat later this year. I really believe this year's awfull winter was only to escalate our burning desires for better spring and summer fishing :) See you out there soon!

Thank you all for your good comments!

Hey folks,

Thank you all for your good comments!
Meanwhile I've spoken to a lot people about "The bad beginning" and now a view offered me that they nearly came the same way.
If I had known earlier, that this way is more general, it probably were a bit easier to reach the turn around!?
So I wish you tight lines for the upcoming season - where ever you stay!

Kind regards

Kai
