This episode
Since I was fishing in quite a wind whis past weekend I thought that a small talk about casting in the wind was in its place.

Contrary to most fly anglers I actually prefer a bit of wind when I fish, and I have tried to teach myself different ways

Windy, shallow, dirty - All this and more means rough conditions and challenging casting. These rocks were actually underwater the day before this -- and where we caught the fish.

Brrrr...! - One thing about wind and rain: it makes you cold. Wet fingers in the wind get cold really fast.
Brrrr...!

Duck's extended body

Roger Duckworth shows an innovative and extremely easy technique to make durable extended bodies for mayflies, caddis, and stoneflies, and he shows a way of hackling the dry flies so that the hackle is under the body but above the hook so that it supports the fly more like the natural.

My book obsession

Martin has always been very fond of books, and fly fishing books have almost become an obsession with him. In spite of having a pretty good stock of titles already, he still buys a bag full now and then.

Backgrounds

The fly photo article series continues with a section on selecting a proper background for your fly photos. It might seem a trivial task, but trust us: it is not! The background can be everything from a uniformly colored surface to all kinds of materials in strange hues.
