Feb 15. 1998	Ib Olsen's cane rods	How Ib Olsen builds his beautiful rods ...and some elementary notes.
Feb 11. 1998	Fish cakes	A traditional Danish course that tastes heavenly! We have meatballs, and this is the fish variation of that dish.
Feb 10. 1998	'Merikan tales	Always wonder... what do I have with this country - the US of A? Country of extremes, land of great beauty and enormous diversity, offering such a wide range of things to see and do.
Feb 9. 1998	The Flasher	The Flasher fly is not so much a fly as a method of adding a spinner to any tube fly which under certain circumstances enhances its attractiveness to almost any species of fish.
Jan 12. 1998	Cheapskate Heron	I came upon an idea. Actually I combined two incidents into one idea. First of all I was going through my heron feathers (yes, I have more than one) and found some butts that I had saved after having tied whole body hackles. I wanted to use these feathers, which still had a lot of useful and long barbs, but unfortunately a very thick stem.
Jan 1. 1998	Cod on a flyrod	How to get cod on a flyrod - the once so common Gadus morhua - Danish inshore species.
Jan 1. 1998	Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies	Paul Marriner is well known to Atlantic Salmon fly fishermen the world over. He is likely the best known Canadian fly fishing author outside of Canada today.

1997

Date	Title	Body	Image
Dec 12. 1997	International Fly Tyers Symposium 1997	The New Jersey area is not the worst place to be in November. This is the story about a lot of fishing and fly tying done in that area in the fall of 1997.

Nov 16. 1997	New York Salmon fishing	Although there are a couple rivers in New York with the name "Salmon River", only one has an international reputation. That is the Salmon River that flows into Lake Ontaria near Pulaski, a small town along the lake's eastern shore.
Nov 5. 1997	November 5th 1997	Many small fish The autumn still seems to hold strong. Lots of reports are coming in, and there seems to be at least the normal abundance of sea trout - if not more.
Nov 3. 1997	The Floating Shrimp	One of Hanafi Saleh's patterns is the "HS Floating Shrimp" which is very suitable for fishing just above the bottomweeds, or just above the bottom without the risk of getting snagged at underwater obstacles.
Oct 31. 1997	Atlantic Salmon Handbook	Although this book is riddled with errors it does convey the basic information that a beginning Atlantic salmon fisher would need.
Oct 20. 1997	The Crab	This is a fly made for a very specific purpose: cod fishing. It's used on a sink tip or sinking line over fairly deep water (3-4 meter or 10-13') from a float tube, and will turn upside down and 'walk' on the bottom.
Oct 17. 1997	October 17th 1997	The trout have returned
Oct 15. 1997	My summer salmon fishing	My salmon fishing is different from most everyone else's. At least, that's what I'm told. And since the literature around salmon fishing is based on "everyone else's" salmon fishing, I thought I'd tell you a little about mine. Optimally, my kindred spirits out there will read this and feel right at home.
Oct 5. 1997	Fisker tube tool	This Danish tool might be an alternative. In spite of some minor drawbacks, it's a very good tool at a very reasonable price.

Sep 1. 1997	Sven Ostermann	German Sven Ostermann is one of a very few FFF-Certified Flycasting Instructors in Europe.
Sep 1. 1997	The Real Deer Hair	A sedge pattern in the Goddard tradition - with a twist. This fly is a combination of the G+H Sedge and a hackling method adapted from Dutch Piet Weeda - making it a one-material-fly.
Aug 12. 1997	Hanafi Saleh, The Netherlands	Hanafi Saleh is another of those Dutchmen that seem so abundant on the fly tying and fly fishing scene. And I say that with envy.
Jul 21. 1997	Picric acid	Dyeing with picric acid yields colors between a gorgeous olive and an electric yellow.
Jul 15. 1997	Doing the Limbata	I apologize to you in advance for the disappointment you will feel upon learning that this article is not about a hot new dance step from south of the border and will not contribute to your romantic relationships or skills on the dance floor.
Jul 15. 1997	The Flex Hex	The fly that did the Limbata as told by Jim Hauer
Jul 5. 1997	Coney Snowbugger	This streamer fly is actually a variation of the well-known Woolly Bugger. It imitates a small baitfish.

Jun 15. 1997	Tying the Matuka style	Who would have guessed that a fly tied to fish the lakes of New Zealand would have such an impact all around the world?
Jun 15. 1997	Fatal Attraction	Part wet fly and part streamer, it has all the obnoxious flash of a Mepps spinner in the water, and it's just as effective.
Jun 15. 1997	Charlie's Bead Head Scud	A simple and good looking scud pattern from Charles Garwood.
Jun 15. 1997	Fly Festival Pictures 1997	Danish Fly Festival 1997, Gallery. The Danish Fly Festival attracted both 'actors' and audience from many places. Here are a few pictures with impressions from the successful arrangement. All the pictures were taken with a digital camera and many were put online on the web during the Festival.
Jun 12. 1997	Chilli Pepper Flies	So you thought that chilli pepper was a small, strong, spicey fruit? Well, it is... but it's also a seemingly popular name for fishing flies. In the past I have come over no less than three patterns with the name Chilli Pepper.
Jun 10. 1997	Coney flies	The flies on this page are all well known patterns which have all been juiced up a bit - many with some modern materials, but all with cone heads. By Bas Verschoor
Jun 6. 1997	Charlie's Phesant Tail Nymph	The Pheasant tail nymph is a true classic. The original was tied by Frank Sawyer using only copper thread and phesant tail fibers. This pattern has been elaborated a bit by Charles A.Garwood from North Carolina, and uses peacock herl for the abdomen and regular tying thread.
May 27. 1997	Flies from the Flyleaves of my Diaries	And at last the book is there: Torp in English. At last a book with the potential to reach beyond the borders of his small home country.

May 5. 1997	Magnus Muddler	This muddler is tied on a small stainless Mustad hook using orange deer hair, orange dyed grizzly hackle and natural rabbit dubbing with a bit of orange flash mixed in. A small beauty indeed and sooo easy to see at night.
Apr 23. 1997	April 23rd 1997	A normal season Everything indicates that this season will be far better than the last one - which was catastrophic.
Apr 15. 1997	Foam flies for panfish	I purchased a copy of Skip Morris' book on tying flys for bass and panfish and another of his books on foam flies. His books are excellent and I recommend them above all others for beginning tyers. The pictures and instructions are superb!
Mar 25. 1997	Sheep hair flies	Recently I've begun working with a material that was introduced to me through the tying of Dave Whitlock. In particular, his "sheep series" of baitfish flies. It's Icelandic Sheep Hair, although some distributors refer to it as "Streamer Hair" or "Secret Streamer Hair". I've found it to be a wonderful tying material for large streamer type flies.
Mar 6. 1997	March 6th 1997	The sea trout season has started...
Mar 1. 1997	Charles Garwood, USA
Feb 16. 1997	Charlie's Prince Nymph	This fly was inspired by the original Prince Nymph, but modified by Charles Garwood of North Carolina for an easier tie and more visibility. Says Charlie: "The prince nymph has been with us for a long time! I've simply added flashabou because I found it enhances attraction and because I find it slightly easier to tie than white goose biots. Plus it eliminates the gold braid too. It just simplifies the pattern"
Feb 10. 1997	Selecting deer hair	Choosing the right hair will make your deer hair flies - Comparaduns, EHC's, Muddlers, bass bugs - much easier to tie.
Feb 10. 1997	Chris Helm, USA
Jan 20. 1997	January 20th 1997	The ice is gone...
Jan 1. 1997	Miss Ring	The name and appearance of this fly owes a bit to the New Zealand Mrs. Simpson flies in which a couple of feathers are roofed on each side of the fly. These flies are also known as Killer flies or tied in the Killwell style.
Jan 1. 1997	Tying Glass Bead Flies	If you are like me, when glass beads came upon the fly tying scene a few years ago, you passed them by.

Dec 12. 1996	December 12th 1996	A couple of questions from Germany I recieved an e-mail today and will let that be the first 'Right now' section for a long time:
