Martin, nearly 20 years ago next year, I just picked up this great sport of flyfishing. You were kind enough to send me these great muddler flies all the way from Denmark to Florida. I caught my very first Florida tarpon, what a thrill,I'll never forget it. It is people like you in this sport that makes me appreciate being a part of it.Also, your website, was just a hobby back then in the 1990's, look at you now.So proud of what you've done, here's to the next 20 years :)

[b:851cacb4da]Aaahhh, Florian, that begs the age old conundrum... :idea:

How can you get a job if you have NO experience... :?
and...
How can you get experience if you have NO job... :?:
hmmm...

The T-Tailed Phunny Phish are extremely leader shy... :roll:
but...
The Yellow Eyed Devil Marauding Snapper Blues have NO regard... :shock:

Use wire and save the phly [which will look as if it was run through a wood chipper] and the False Albies will take a pass...
The toothy muggerz look fashionably cute with their new piercings! :lol:
Gotta' do what you gotta' do...
Consider it a sacrifice to the Phish Gods...
NO worries... there's more where that came from...[/b:851cacb4da] :wink:

[b:31cd934150]'GET OUT THERE !!![/b:31cd934150]

Just a few points I want to add:
the slim seakajak is much faster and with a sidebar/outrigger(I dont know the word, but it is like a 2nd little slim boat attached to the side of the kajak) it cant roll over, unless you go out when a tornado is on its way. 10 miles durin a day is nothing. its flat and slim . Wind cant blow it away as a sit on top.
Paddlers usually wear a Longjohn - a neat combination of neopren covering your body . If you fall into the water a thin layer of water will come in and will be warmed up. So you will have 2 isolations against cold water.Wear this part instead of neoprene waders. Its more flexible, shoulders are covered and in any case it is more secure when swimming.

Use a roofrack with an extendable/pull out rod. to place a kajak on the roof of the car just pullout the rod; then lift the front part of the kajak onto the extended rod. Then lift up the rear part of the kajak and push the whole kajak onto the roofrack. its totally easy. Even a 10 year old boy can take down or push up a 35 kilo kajak. even with slipped disks in your back you can mount any kajak. In case of wind you will hav severe problems to bring up any kajak onto the roof of your car. besides you avoid scratches and bumps in your car.

I once asked on multiple forums if anybody steamed their chenille and was more or less deemed crazy but it actually helps to remove the kinks that occur from being wrapped around the card.give it a try.

Thank you so much for your tips. I have been tying mostly buck tail jigs for about 6 years, on and off. Just untill recently I have gotten pretty serious about doing other Flies, the RIGHT way. Heck, I just took the time to find out what all the tools were called, and more importantly, what they are FOR. Never even knew what the Whip Finishing Tool was for. I just wanted to tell you that I love doing this and your tips were and are very helpful. If you'd like, please write back to share more about tying. I'm worse than a beginner when I see how there supposed to look. Thank you again. -Justin. From Volusia County Central Florida.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
