Hey Everybody,
I just ve got question. Do you know how, or where I can get a Softex???? I am not able to buy it....... :?
Hey colleagues,
I just returned from Costa Rica, where I ve been for three months. And there I learned totally new type of streamers for tarpons and snooks.... I was very surprised, but I totatally felt in love with silicon flies........ 😄 They are not to easy to cast, but its not impossible....Just sipmle double houl and nothing else....... I came back 3 weeks ago and I tried them here, but wrong place and wrong time. I caught just 1 about 4 pounds....... But after that my friend told me that my pike in this part of river was first in last week....... And there is normally 5 to 10 spin fishers in a day. And I mean spining is still more efective than flyfishing, mostly!!!! Just tell me please, what you mean about it......??? Peace D.
Last one on picture is to much......... 🙄
John,
Spiderweb is manufactured by Danvilles. I think it is a 18/0 - fairly fine.

Hi Kasper,
For tying the "Nothing" You specified spiderweb for the thread. Do you know who makes this product? I can't find it. What I did find was SpiderWire. SpiderWire has many different types; mono, braided, saltwater, freshwater etc., and it is moss green in color. If this is what you specified can you tell me what type of Spiderwire you used.
Thanks I enjoyed the article!
Today I thinking about new visit of Fyn (in 11th mont). Pelase, is it good time for flyfishing? If yes, where is good spot on fish(I have seatrout guide). How to fish? And what flies are good for this time?f
Mataj,
November can be a good month for sea trout, but the weather can be terrible! There is a great risk of windy, rainy and cold conditions. When the weather is good, the fishing can be fine, but the water is getting colder and the fishing is slower than in August and September, not to mention in the spring.
If you want to travel here in the autumn, I would recommend selecting August, September and early October rather than November and December.
Fantastic fish by the way!

NiC,
Just looked at the trailer for the upcoming NZ video from AEG. Plenty of dry fly fishing there it seems.
Envy, envy!
Martin
I agree, its fish-porn. But I would have loved a bit more dryfly fishing. Looking forward to seeing part 2 (New Zealand)..
Excellent Imitation. It will def fool the fish if not the angler when it's sitting in your hand.
Steve
Networking is important to learn and get the best from your fishing experience in new and old waters.
It was great to meet up with you all ! Thanks.
Steve
"Fish porn" at it's best! I only wished the rivers were like that in Denmark.!

Paul,
My good old suede jacket? Sure!
Take a look at this picture, which is taken in Southern Germany actually or this one of me in a float tube (one of my first trips ever) where I'm wearing a suede jacket and a home made red/grey fishing vest!
Martin
Hi´Martin, nice article, I'm also looking at the scierra jacket, and ran across this article. I would love to see the picture of you in the suede jacket with homemade vest.
Paul
Unbelieveable footage.
"Trout Porn"?
Hardcore is too soft a word!
I was lucky enough to see a trailer and then thought - Hey, that's a must have...
A Fantastic DVD that beats the pants of everything to date.
A 10 out of 10 from me.
Rip
I can only agree with the second raters opinion, this is "fish porn". Another DVD in this category, although much shorter, is "In search of a rising tide".
Definitly a must have!
Bob,
There are lots of opportunities to fish much more cheaply than your 2002 trip, though I guess the Hampshire Chalk-streams would be a special once-in-a-lifetime trip.
The trout & salmon season is drawing to a close over here now, when are you coming over, and where would your stay be centred?
Wild trout season normally ends around end of September, salmon mostly mid October, though a few rivers stay open or re-open for January, I think. The public-water-supply reservoirs mostly stay open till mid-to-end of October. Put-and-Take fisheries stay open all year round.
Costs: reservoirs, around 15 pounds per day (usually 6 or 8 fish limit, no catch & release), with a boat costing perhaps 30-35 pounds for two anglers.
Salmon & sea-trout can cost a lot, but we have a good river locally (SW Egland) (the River Lyn) where fishing is about 20 pounds / day for salmon (but not fly, usually worm or spinner). For wild trout fishing on most rivers ranging from Yorkshire in North to Devon & Cornwall in SW, you can often get a day for between 5 pounds and 20 pounds. Free fishing is often only available if you know the landowner.
Best bet is to work out which rivers you'll be near, then search for info on the web. through the river name.
If you want specific info and you think I can provide it, send me an email.
Regards,
Les
Martin,
Thanks for the nice calm podcast.
I enjoy your work always

i have not yet really tried fishing but reading this article makes me want to head to the nearest sea just to try few of the many that you have suggested.
Can't understand why you would go through all the bother of making your own dubbing wax! At only $3.99 for a large container/tube you certainly not saving any money. By your own estimates [not counting time] the cost of making one's own receipe $6-14.40 plus a pot that has to cost at the minimum $4. What am I missing seeing here?
This site was a savier for my son school project, about fishing. Let me tell you: Great site, that everybody can enjoy........Thanks a lot keep up ......
Hi Darryl
Lekker pictures hey! Well done great class and techique!
