My favorite patterns are a green/white and a Micky Finn (red/yellow) pattern but also pink/white is great in the winter and early spring. They have quite a few sea trouts on their conscience. A great fly on the danish coast and it will always be in my flybox.
I first saw the fly in the DVD "Salt sea trout on a fly" (i think) but was introduced to the fly by a friend in Norway during summer hollyday, where we went on an early morning trip to a small fjord. I didn't catch any trouts that morning, but a few garfish couldn't resist it. Back in Denmark i tied a few of them and they were testet on the danish east coast with succes.
For sure one of my favorites....
Regards
Thomas

Hello
Is the 54 inch long wood carving of a Northern Pike for sale?

Try using a blood knot making the tag ends extra long. A neat way to add flies & vary tippet size as well.

Not watched the full movie, but the trailer looks amazing. Really good to see a fly fishing film which looks inspired. Well done on releasing it for $10 download. Just putting it on my Kindle fire now and will watch later when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet and I can savour the experience.

Thanks Tom !!!here in France is snowing too !!good wheather for tying flies!!!
If you ever need some tips or some materials don't hesitate to contact me. I have plenty at home from the last Christmas.... I can send you some by the post.
Will be great to try the malbran with Holland pikes!!!
Best regards

Nice fly,I tye a similar pattern for salmon/winter stellies in orange,or pink,I cover the body with clear cure goo thin to help protect the body,& make a more durable fly,tight lines,& bent rods.

Great flies Ramiro, they look very good with all that glitter and shine.
When I see the pictures of all the different species , I think that those flies are pretty good !
For sure I am going to tie some, maybe this afternoon, because at the moment of writing this, it is snowing outside my door here in Holland and the world is totally white !

Best regards,

Tom.

Kevin,

You have me confused here!
You ask "What line would I use to connect a 9 weight shooting head line?"

Line to connect what? The shooting line and shooting head connect to each other. Nothing else needed.
And "shooting head line"? Is that a shooting head or a shooting line? It can't be both...

If you are asking what line to use as a shooting line for a 9 wt. shooting head, that's exactly what the article is about. It goes through all the types, and they can all be used for a 9 wt. shooting head. What to use is up to your taste and wallet.

I have read this article for years and finally decided to try it. I was happy to see a recent post. I may try mineral oil rather than olive oil though. Let me know how you batch works out. I got my rosin and wax off eBay.

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.
