Trout

Even fairly small brown trout eat smolt and smaller fish as seen on this smolt found in the stomach of a gutted brown trout. This forms one of the bases of the Tinsel Fly's succes.

Does this count as one or two fish towards your daily limit? ;-)

More stuff to look at on The Global FlyFisher
People who looked at the above also looked at:

Tooth & Nail

Pike temptations: Mark Dysinger presents a pair of pike flies that can take a beating - the Prince of pike and the Poxy Bunny. Large, durable and easy to tie as pike flies should be. Mark has used them extensively for his own Northern pike fishing See the patterns and the pictures here

Valeur's Pike Streamer

Incredible: This amazing fly is ment for pike. It's caught a lot already on the line of originator Morten Valeur who states that this is one of the few flies he can truly call his own. Go to the story

Bunny Split

Colorful pike fly: Two tails are better than one says Mark Dysinger, who is an avid pike angler. In this, his latest pattern, he has created a large and very lively fly for the mossy green predator of the lakes. And it can tempt a bass too... See how to tie the Bunny Split here,

New Hooks

New for the bench: Partridge has come out with a new line of trout hooks called "Flashpoint". Most fly tyers are hook junkies, and Bob Petti is no exception, so he jumped at the chance to review these new hooks. Click here to read Bob's review.

Splayed-A-Live

Easy tie: Pike fishing requires large flies, and they are not nice to cast! GFF partner Martin Joergeensen has improvised over some well known salt water patterns and made them into a fly, which is light, large, easy to tie and still acceptable to cast on a 7 weight rod. See how to tie a Splayed-a-live-pike-fly.

Three DVD's reviewed as one: A set of delightful introductions to different approaches to different types of stream fishing. Presented by fly fishing actor Dean Andrews and fly fishing instructor John Tyzack in an entertaining and educating style. Very nicely filmed in some beautiful UK locations.

Fly Fishing for Bonefish

This classical bonefish book from 1992 has now been totally revised to reflect the most recent development in bonefishing and has had a well deserved visual overhaul with more color photos and a very nice layout. The book is very hands on and practical in its approach.

The Triangle Fly

This is a strange kind of saltwater fly for sea trout - nothing like other flies - sparse and skinny, tied on a treble, only two materials. But it works says GFF partner Martin Joergensen, who is almost embarassed to tell how to tie this über-simple fly.
