Yes, well, what can

Yes, well, what can one say! An absolutely brilliant piece of work; I am envious of all you portray in the lovely photographs of an area on the other side of the world. Congratulations!

John,

I might not

John,

I might not be native English speaking, but as far as I know it seems to be a tie between vice and vise:

Vice - variant of vise
Main Entry: clamp
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: fastener
Synonyms: bracket, catch, clasp, grip, hold, lock, nipper, press, snap

You can prefer vise to avoid misunderstandings, but it's definitely fully OK to call a clamp for fly tying for a vice.

It is spelled V-I-S-

It is spelled V-I-S-E.Your spelling refers to bad habits.Otherwise fine review.

Marc,

These flies

Marc,

These flies will work for a lot of different fish - trout, bass even bonefish. They are very generic and generally useful as long as the size and style fits the fishing - wet flies, casting and retrieving. They were developed for saltwater fishing, but will also do fine in freshwater and streams.

I'm sure that Lithuanian fish will respond just as the Danish (and Swedish) fish do, which is usually with vigor.

If you are fishing inland trout rather than in the ocean, you might get some hints from this article on Lithuania or even this one on Estonia.

Martin

Hi,
The book says B

Hi,
The book says Baltic trout... wondering if you know about trout fishing in Lithuania in particular (in English) and whether this book would cover Lithuania. I don't mean that the trout speak English of course, that might be asking a bit too much. But if you know of any information that would be wonderful.
Thanks!

Sounds like all work and no

Sounds like all work and no play on this trip :( Thanks for the info.

Pit,

I tied a bun

Pit,

I tied a bunch of flies using Christmas decoration tinsel. Some of it is great while some of it will almost dissolve and loose its color. But considering the price it's worth trying. Simply dunk a bit of it in water and see how it acts.

It is sometimes a little coarse, but for pike and bass flies it's pretty good. I'm currently writing an article on tying big flies, and have already included a chapter on alternative material sources including Christmas and Halloween ornaments.

Martin

Hi to all. Did anyon

Hi to all. Did anyone try to use Xmas tree lametta/tinsel? I have it in red , gold and silver. usually we through it away. Can it be used for this fly?
thanks for your answers
Pit

Thanks! Very useful

Thanks! Very useful indeed

Hi Bob. I live in Be

Hi Bob. I live in Beacon, New York, in the lovely Hudson Valley region. Your photographs do great justice to the beauty around us! Thank you. I'm not a great fisherman but my brother is. (He forwarded this article to me.) I am always trying to find ways to lure him out of our native Michigan to some spots here. (I'm sure you'll agree that Michigan has some ideal fishing as well.) I'm not sure where you've ventured in New York but I hope you can suggest some spots near me. Like you, my brother is prepared to fish for anything that swims. Best regards, T.
