I love the Micky Finn streamer. It works for me any the time I use it. One day I was wading up stream back to the lodge all of a sudden I had a good hit.The fly came loose and fell back in the river, so you could say I caught the fish trolling.
I tie mine on TMC 300's 8 and 6. Some times I use gold tinsel in stead of silver tinsel. You can slip me a Micky any time... Dave

If I only had one fly to use it would be the rolled muddler. I have caught everything from cutthroat to steelhead to snook and jack crevalle in salt water in Florida.
It is the most fun fly I have ever used

Unable to e-mail Arnt Mollan about vidio The Brown Trout and Mayfly. The vidio is better then great . It says dvd on the disc, but it comes up dics error on both my dvd players. Yet it does play on my lap top. It would appear to be a cd-rom only? I would really like to play it on my fly tying table TV. Any suggestion?

I enjoy watching Hans tie. explains and ties in a manor that even a beginer could follow.
As for me,I have tied for 30 some years, but one can always learn something or find a pattern to try

I was at ty fest in MD and No one stresses the art of fly tying. The art of fly tying is something that should be recognized. Fly tying is an art form that does not seen to have a place that is recognized. I can sit at my vice for hours and really relaxe and enjoy myself tying flys. It is the only time that a tyer can put to a vice something that does not exist. I know that not everyone wants to take the time that is needed to ty this type of fly, but I for one will never stop creating something on my vice that never existed before. Surely there must be other tyiers that have the same passion that I have. If so please respond.

I live in central Pennsylvania and this technique is absolutely dynamite in the winter when the trout congregate in deeper pools. The technique itself is quite similar to something the old timers in my area developed decades ago using monofilament with heavily weighted leaders and flies. I especially like the patterns. It's my opinion that most of us tie our nymphs with far too much dubbing and too little weight. The Czech patterns definitely get down into the strike zone quickly.

Since you got this far …

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

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.
