I was just searching the internet for a good wading jacket. Martin has described the ideal wading jacket and exactly what I am looking for. I also believe that a lot of fishing gear ends up on the market before it is put to the test. There is a lot of junk. One day we all may thank Martin if he would be so bold as to present his idea to a number of companies. His ideas are good.
Fantastic job on these wet flies!...I especially liked the Greenwell's Glory as I have been trying to tie one for a friend...with limited success I might add...the Dark Montreal is very effective on brook trout in Nova Scotia...thank you for sharing your expertise and the "commentary"....
Hi Kasper, thank you very much for the great article. Beautiful pictures and a lot of information. To pick up your website is always a suprise and a great fun
Martin, Rodney, Kim, Nina, Bill and Steve thanks for a great relaxing but hot and sweaty day at the river! Dam rainbows...
Let's do it again sometime but please remember the icy cold bohemia style beers next time!

I just happen to come across this page. Very well done article. Now while I have cast more than 150 feet with the special equipment in National tournaments (I enjoy this and it is darn good exercise for a 74-year-old angler) it is also true that I seldom make a cast of more than 10 meters (30+ feet) when I'm brown trout fishing in Midwest streams. Tis better to creep up on the fish. Yes, there are times, when fishing bigger waters (e.g., lakes, flats, big rivers), when you simply can't wade close enough, and making a long cast can be helpful, and very ego satisfying... but setting hook with all that line out can be a problem.
great clarity. thank you
Lehigh River White Haven Pa. 06-11-06. I chart river every day,as far as cfs flow and screen or catch insects before fishing. Big mistate in directions. Instead of tying on #14 hook, all caddis emerging are a size #20. tie some with green body such as American Grannon. Imform me if this works. Tony
Good lookin patern. Going to have to tie a few up before the rivers open here on July 1st.
This is absolutely awesome! Good, interesting and informative, big kudos for the pictures wich really make the article easy to read, eyecandy!
Altough i miss an article about seatroutfishing in the stockholm archipelago where the fish is both big, common and relatively easy to find, something to arrange?
that is a good looking pattern. I always wonder if the fish can see the various colors of foam layers and whether it makes any fishing difference? It sure makes an aesthetic difference and that is important to the person tying and/or fishing.
I bought the A 620 with the WP-DC 90 housing. Its working great. Check out some of the UW photos in my gallery on this site.
Guys,
The Gold Nugget is back online and doing well...

Small world. I was born in Wellsville, NY and another member is from there. I'm going to get back there to fish soon, I have fished Oatka creek and Spring Creek in western NY. It is interesting how there are connections on a site Originating in Copenhagen. Tight Lines...
It doesn't work for me either. It's not you. My cousin use to date the police chief in Manchester.
You got the first two steps covered here - you took the camera on your fishing trip, and you got it out while something interesting was happening. Now you've just got to work on the technique to create the picture that will get people's attention. Perhaps here you could have waited for the fish to jump or have zoomed in a bit for a closer view of the fish during the fight. Keep trying!
in the tying of the solf hackle flies as described by sly nemes. what make and model hook would work for this application. can you give me several different manufactures, types and models.
What did you buy Havatafish ?[/quote:b8451665ea]
Hi, I’m the new “kid” on the block….
I recently went for the Canon IXUS 55 with corresponding underwater housing. The housing allows you to take pictures up to 3 m. under the water surface. Both camera and the housing are great quality.
Just about to start to tie tube flies as a result of reading the above book. Perhaps you could
present a section on tube fly "how to" and so on in a future GFF presentation. It seems to me
that tube flies make more sense than "on the hook" flies in many cases; dealing with those
nasty bluefish for one example. Your "global class" rating is well deserved and appropriate
regarding this informative and beautifully illustrated book.
I really like the variations on materials and tying techniques used in this article.
Your article on "yellow fever" and the way its written is a credit to you! It inspires me to start walking some of our rivers that have the species in them....wish we had the largemouth, but that's made up for by the other labeo family. We have tigerfish a-plenty, but I'm sick of them, not that I've caught hundreds on fly tackle, but I want the challenge of species I have not had much success with even on bait....the yellow is one of them. Our Middle Zambezi River is loaded with big purple labeo, and I have tried all means of tempting them with bait..without success. Perhaps with my change from conventional tackle to the fly rod, things will change.

… 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.
