Nicolas,
I know that running lines differ, and that they are a matter of personal taste. But since I prefer not using baskets or any such contraptions, I find monofilament lines unsuitable for my personal type of fishing. Your mileage may vary...
Martin
Duncan Loop is good, easy and effective, but once it clinches after a strike it has to be redone or you loose about 50% strenght.
Good. But you forgot to mention that running lines can differ in performance depending on where and what you are fishing for. Try using a stripping basket with amnesia and you'll see what I mean. Try using a flyline on a medium sink tip and you loose the object of the mercerize.

Hi Vilmos,
Where do you catch pike now ?
I have had very limited success in the canals around Budapest..... any tip would be appreciated.
A "brown" agains "seaweed"/algae correct?
This is something that one never sees in California!
Beautiful!
THANKS!
The fly looks verry realistik. I would like to give it a go to see if it does actually work. I would like to now if you fish this pattern as a dry fly or a wet fly and if you would retreve it or not. I would also like to now is this fly pattern available in tackle shops, what tipe of trout spesyes of trout does it catch.
Thanks Randon,Perhaps you'd like to submit some of your pictures to show us mere mortals how it's really done.
Typical amateur faults when shooting against the sun. Also, the not straight horisont defines this photograph to be a 2. There are programmes available to straighten up the horisont in photographs.
"Retouch" it to be b&w (black and white) and you get 3.
Put an angler in the picture and you're on 4.
Put some action (casting or fish fight) and you hit 5.
Make it a young lady and you're at 6 and the cover of a magazine!
Mattthias,
Thanks! It was a nice, calm and very soothing morning. Hope some of the ambience carried over.

Excellent Article Martin, thoroughly enjoyed. I get up to Machyllynth quite often, fishing for sea trout & salmon in the Dyfi. I also enjoy the River Dysinni that runs from Tal-y-llyn, a lovely little river, similar to a chalk stream, with some lovely Sea Trout!
There is great Saltwater fishing in Towyn, 8 miles from Tal-y-llyn.

Sarah,
The folks behind the Kelly Kettle actually have a whole web site for their product. the first hit in Google if you search, actually. You can even order one online.
Martin
I have a friend who is trying to find a kelly's kettle, can anyone help?? I've tried yahoo, google and ebay to no avail, please contact me if you have a kettle for sale or any genuine information. Thank you
Hmmmm....If you don't want to carry that around I can help...but I wont guarantee you will see them again.... 😄
...sorry.....I got a 7D as well but not so many nice lenses..... :(
Hi Serge, you can use whatever you like to make the body of the fly, i just prefere to add some attraction to the fly, using the UV dub, it makes the fly "glow" in the water, however i've tied flies without it that works (almost) as well. For the back you can use EP fibers, i take two different shades of brown and brush them together in order to create a sort of spotted back.

Nice way to converse a non-fly fishing motiv to one by adding a piece of fly fishing tackle. I'll give it 4. A fresh caught salmon on the grass would make it a 5, erhh... I mean 3, just so the catch and release purists won't be outraged :-)
Yes,yes this is how it's supposed to be. I'll give it 5. Had the anglerdude been fighting a trout it would have provided that tad of intensity which a 6 requires!
Serge,
You may use Ultra Hair or Kinky Fiber instead of Ultra Hair. Be aware, that Ultra Hair is more fine and you may find even better substitutes.
UV-dubbing has other names like Flash-dub or Aura-dubbing. You can also use SLF Prism, tan, which is a new dubbing having this UV-look, but actually reflects light as in a prism.
I hope you find the materials you are looking for.

Both Saturday and Sunday morning and early afternoon are open right now for me but I know a few others are going to get back to me so plans may change, but will confirm as well.
Maybe Martin wants to come too. 😉
The target species would be perch and pike. Once awhile you would by-catch a sea trout as well while spinning for perch, but of course those are closed for targeting (or just keeping?) this time of the year.
Here are a few photos from last winter at Tryggevælde. I've never really caught any gigantic pike, all the ones have been a couple of kg, but I have seen some big ones rolling around.

… 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.
