Thanks, Pike. I checked the site and saw the book. I couldn't understand how to purchase from the site, so I e-mailed the shop to get information. Hopefully, I'll be buying a copy shortly.
The book really looks interesting. I like the pictures and format.
Thanks for letting me know about this!

Hello, I will be in Tuscany at the end of March. I am wondering if there are any flyfishing opportunities at that time of the year. I will not be to far from Arrezzo.
A new book about fishing techniques with very interesting DVD has been recently issued. Book has been written by very good czech flyfishers and includes a load of excellent patterns. English version is on market too. If you are interested, see following link: http://www.hendsproducts.com/en/index.htm
Why is it that the podcast no longer seems to work via subscription in iTunes? I just get an exclamation point by the podcast and it can no longer find the episodes.
Hey Kasper,
Paul and me were out for seatrouts last weekend and Paul had great success with you pink piggy.
He gave one to me out of his stockpile but it couldn't get me a fish this time, so I had to return to my
terror fly.
Hope we hear from each other soon.

Hello Kai and others...
Wonder why it has to be that way - my story is very simular - I release myself from the bad dream when my rod accidently broke when hit by a fly during casting. I had been trying to catch the first seatrout for almost 3 years at this point - never hooking anything at all on.....my wife had given up asking me on the return of every trip. I borrowed at spare rod from a fishingbuddy and found out that how easy casting could be when rod and line fitted each other - my line & wheel to his rod. I caught my first seatrout only hours later, even though it was small and quickly released, it is still in my mind the most beautifull fish I ever touched - it represented the end of a bad start and kept the dream alive..
By the way it took me almost a year before I dared giving my friend his rod back - and went to the beach with a new one being very affraid of reliving the nightmare, but everything went well.
From doing nothing comes nothing!!

Very nice reading! Been there, done that and, yes, dont give up, sooner or later the rod will bend!
Can someone help me I am looking for Lucky Ladybug Fly by Bob Mead, for my dad
Thank you
Carol
HOLY COW!! You wouldnt catch me anywhere in or near the water with something that has teeth like that!!
OK, my bad. I thought the species was named Barb. (Too late to correct I suppose).
Kai.
A nice story about the hard road travelled, from failure through confidence and onwards to victory.
Above all - your struggle made me humble about the fact that I am lucky enough to live in a part of the world where excellent sea trout fishing is only minutes away.
Hats off
and wishes of silver on your future fly fishing path.

Yes, I am interested in this painting for my brother. Can you tell me the price and dimensions.
Thank you
Don Bastian shows a "Good Evening" tied for his article back in 2006 in Fly Tyer. I finally got around to taking the wings of a mallard drake this season and tied the fly but reached a quandry when placing the slips together. Normally, the slips are matched dull side out, I thought, so the wings curve out slightly. But on this fly, one would lose the beautiful purple speculum if tied this way; so I tied the fly dull side in. This part of the wing is pretty flat any way, so one would not get much curvature however tied. Does anyone know how this fly was tied originally?
Hi Brian, thanks for shearing.
Seemed like a really good trip, guess this isn't your last visit...
Cheers

Is it possible to upload the pictures here or create an unlocked album @ flicr or some similar site?
Thanks for both of your replies. I think that confirmed my initial feeling about the rods.
The main reason for the reel choice was mainly based on a recommendation I got. The guy was of the opinion that the more metal the more corrosion no matter what the ad said. The other reason I'm thinking on reels like the Evotec, is if I happen to drop it on a rock and scratch it, that would make it even more vulnerable to corrosion.
Anyway I would like to hear why you would go for a metal reel instead, what advantages do you see in having one compared to other
Thanks
P.S. EDIT
If I'm not mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong, the HM2 comes in two versions for the 6wt. a length of 9'6" w. handle B, and one with a length of 9' and handle A. What are your views on the extra length, and the different handles?
