Dear Dada, you can look in Google-Earth
Summer Time and all saisons works very well ! But take all your FlyFishing equipment with you, its too expensive there :)
Latitude: 40° 1'9.14"N
Longtitude: 31° 38'35.87"E
Off course there is SAFE ! You are not in Iraq 😄 There is no different between where you live now and Turkey :)

awesome pic, should be in the wallpaper section!!!!
Everything under 1/60 is slow, when you have passed the 47 years, and the hands are shaking ;-)

Guys,
Just to interfere with all the talk, I thought I'd comment on the shutter speed, ISO, aperture thing.
A shutter speed of 1/50th of a second is fairly slow. Most standard cameras manage up to about 1/500th or 1/1000th, which would be considered a fast shutter speed. An 80 or 100 ISO image would have to be exposed at about that speed at f5 on a sunny day. An overcast day like on the image above offers a lot less light and shutter speeds down to about 1/100th or 1/50th of a second could be expected.

Beautiful marble trout. Could have wished for more "fish" in the photo.
Otherwise an uncommon shot with good detailings. Also a nice way to release a fish without using direct human contact! You get 4, dude!
This streamer definitely looks more fishy than your last input (on the same background).
I'd like to see the fly with a smaller head, however, I like the transparancy of it.
Most salmon fly tyers (and ditto fishermen) are unaware that one of the most productive design features is to keep the wing low. You made a perfect low wing on this fly.
You get 4 for the photo, dude!
Hello dear Feridun,
Iam very interesting in trouts and pike or perch, zander whatever. But mostly trouts, do u mean that Ill find them there. iam gonna check the position of locality you wrote on google and Ill see...What you mean about the best time of season, when Ill go there? We are planning during summer but iam little bit afraid about watter. what you mean?And another question what about safeties there?Thanks D.
Oh yeah, you had to get that picture in you show off.......just wait, I'll reply to that one.....
Hi
We have a local flyfisher, Sean Mills, here in Cape Town, who seems to catch carp at will. Almost like walking into a candy store and taking candy from the shelves.
He has developed a couple of flies (carp bugger is one) and techniques to catch them.
He rates them extremely spooky, far more than trout.
We've had some good results with Czech nymphing flies and techniques as well.
Will contact him and see if he can't share his secrets here on Global Flyfisher.

Hi Keld i agree with you, But isent 1/53 a rather quick shutter speed?
Regards Allan.
Ps. anyway its a great picture
Ask yourself dude, when was the last time you saw beautiful human feet? No, they simply don't exist, right? Well, here's proof that salmonid (fins) are more beautiful than human (feet).
Definitely 6. Notice the very gentle touch to the water, that just makes it, dude!
i just started learning how to fly fish this year, and i have been looking very hard for instructions for new flies that i could use, so i think it would add to this very interesting artical if there were a set of simple instructions attached.
thank you very much.
I got to know Dec a little while fishing on the Skagit/Sauk rivers in the 90's. I found him to be just as passionate about steelhead as suggested by the book's title. He was also enthusiastic and quite helpful even to non-customers. I found his book inspiring and also full of more techinical information about fly fishing for steelhead than any steelhead fly fishing book I recall reading. Way to go Dec!
Allan. If i do understand it right, the slow shutter speed, compensates for ISO 80 and lets more light pass through. and the f 5 helps too.
Its always a struggle to keep the depth sharpness, where you have to use a rather high f number, and at the same time get light enough.
Haven't read it. Did read a series of Loon Lake mysteries that has fly fishing in it, although not enough to learn anything. Interesting characters though.
I just read your website and this bench looks great!! I'm not very good with wood as I have never tried to do something like this before. Perhaps I'll check a few more websites but I especially like yours. Now all I need is the proper tooks and the proper materials to do this job. Thanks again for a great website, Steve Zimmett
Well I live in Mandal (Norway's most southerly town), and work in Kyrkjebydga, Åseral which is the village at the end of that lake you described which is called Ørevatn. I've fished this lake a few times but only have caught small ones due to the over population in the lake.
Better places are in the two rivers that flow into the lake and in the mountain lakes of Ljosland. In the rivers I've caught brownies of 2.3kg and 2.6kg but have seen bigger and in Ljosland upto 1kg both brownies and brookies, though there are fish much much bigger up there including big arctic char. I'm very well known in this area, and it's one of the best areas for fishing I know.
Eikerapen is where I go skiing and regularly collect patients that have either concussion or factures!
As regards moose or 'elg', well there's loads of them. My brother-in-law wrote-off his car two days ago due to hitting a moose, which just missed his head whilst it procceded to go through the car!
hello Mirko,
my reply was long ago and obtained to the GFO summit last year.
At the moment there is no need for searching a driving partner, but that does not mean,
that I'm not interested in finding some new fishing partners.
Maybe we can find together on some upcoming trips, but not to Fehmarn!
My hole yourney from frankfurt is long and in most times I accept two hours more for driving directly to fyn or als.
For the next time no bigger trip is planned, because I'm having less private time.
I think my first trip to the north will be about eastern and till then I will be lucky when I catch some good pikes or something else in my local rivers Main and Kinzig.
If you are interested in sharing my next trip, yust let me know and I will contact you.
Tight lines

Excellent picture. I love the reflection in the silver reel pin.

Hi Wiggy,
where "up in the mountains" do you live? Maybe i have been there :?:
My last stand for Mandal FF was in Eikerapen, a ski camp. There is a very big lake and i catched a lot of good brownies near the Skjerka electricity. Its fine to have a belly boat on this lake.
But be careful while evening driving, there are a lot of elks coming to drink :o
There's big pike around Grimstad. This summer there was caught a new unconfirmed record pike of 18kg from Rorevatnet. This is quite a popular place for pike FF and it's stuffed full of pike!
As regards arctic char in that area, well I've no idea. I'm best known in this area of Norway and up in the mountains where I work.
@Ostsee-Silber: YEAH ! Kvitsøyfjorden is my Favorit Place LOL!!! and Kvernevik 😄
@Dada: ABANT is near City "BOLU" is far 100 km from Ankara. Antalya between Ankara 300 km. I can give you more informations, you need only a #7/8 class Rod and you can catch every fish in Turkey. There is sooo many places :)
What kind of fishes are u interrested? tell me so i can give you more details and direction :idea:
… 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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.
