    Steve - one of the guys I work with was in your shop last week and gave me some chick-a-bou for your emerger. That stuff is so good even dumb Nebraska trout are in awe.

    Steve! I think the materials for the Tabou Caddis Emerger need clarification. I can't find the colors you have listed. Also, is the chick-a-bou and soft hackle 2 different purchases? Thanks

    Steve, Thanks for sharing your hard work in leader calc. I am an engineer and it seems as if I am going to be plagued with being a detailed oriented person forever. I was inquiring this type of information form the local fly shops and it seems as if some do not appreciate the science behind it."just fish", they say! I understand the rational for stiffer material for butt and taper sections and softer for tippets. However it is unclear to me using your table exactly where the cutoff is. I plan on reading it once more as I may have missed it. But for now I wanted to send my thanks.

    Also, I have a formula for leader calc that is not on your list and would like to put it in but the program is a write only and I don't have the password, please help

    The Cautery

    Martin Joergensen writes: "I always wanted one of these tools. I have seen them used at fly tying shows and by a few tyers elsewhere, and found the tool to be an excellent companion for the lazy and sloppy fly tyer. Just my kind of tool!"

    Better fishing pictures: Jump!

    Getting a picture of a jumping fish is not as easy as you may think. You need preparation, skill, timing the right gear and some luck too. Read more about catching fish in the air in this latest article on better fishing photos.

    Tour de France

    GFF partner Martin Joergensen has let one of his favorite sports events, the bicycling race Tour de France, inspire a way of tying flies. He argues why tying many identical flies can be a good thing - and can be better than tying many different flies.

    The Grey Fred

    A true classic on the Danish coast and a very universal small fish imitation, which has not only caught thousands of sea trout, but would very likely also be able to catch almost anything that has scales and swims.
