Hi guys
In my life i have rarely read bloody chitt like Mr. Joergensen article.
Wy not just goeing to the water and catch a fish if you can.
Nobody cares about your old rod or even older flyline when you catch this very elusive four pounder in front of you.
Well ,this article fit the flyfishing retailers and manufact...
I fished seven times Tasmanian waters on my oversea trips and believe me you will never met a guy in this part of the world who will spend a single word about your fishing gear.
The only thing who is relevant for this guys is getting the right fly on the right place at the right moment ,because you will get only one try or you will never seen this fish again.
Do you think these trouts have any admiration for your 700 dollar waders , or if you fish with a 700 dollar rod or if you wear a tie?
Dont think so!
Tight lines.

Sam,

Thanks for your comment... and once again I'm surprised that any one can be in doubt... this is for fun!

It must be my mediocre writing skills that leave people in doubt. I may have to make some kind of stamp or declaration in the beginning of these articles to emphasize that this is pure irony... quite a lot of readers seem to be in doubt.

Luckily some did get it the first time around, so I must have done something almost right.

This sound to me like a sour grapes article intended for those Walmart loyalty card holders who either a) cannot afford the best (of very good) gear, intended to make themselves feel better, or b) "grunge is cool" or "jeans with holes" crowd pleaser... either way, if it's a joke then "ha ha ha..." if on the other hand it's a dig then @$%@# ya'll.

bottom line.... if I can afford the best, then I'ma get it and who cares what you think!

Love the fly Gary...like the fact that the rest of the world gets to see how our "streamer whiz kid" can really create beauty! Those who don't know Gary, he is THE example of his above statement about "happy to share and pass along their knowledge". Thanks Gary, you and your site are primo!!

David, I just the beautiful fly you tied at the top of all these posts. I also am sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery from your latest setback. Looking forward to chatting with you again soon. Take care. Loretta

Ted, I love this pattern. You don't see it much. You did a wonderful job on it. Congrats for bringing this beauty to 365 Streamers. This is a fairly difficult pattern to tie, I know. :-)

These videos are excellent, I am just starting and I am learnig allot by watching the tiers work... Thanks for the professional presentations to show how it's done.

I actually made a similar pattern once(other secret colour), and it's a real trout killer. On my best trip, i caught 6 Rainbows in 6 casts :) try it, i can only recommend it.

Thanks for the information. Actually what I am looking for is a hook that will glide hook up so as to not catch the moss near the bottom where I am fishing for large mouth bass.

What a coincidence, just saw the part from Trout Unlimited: On the rise. Great shop and great fishing at the driftless area!

"Jos, Thank you"
I had to laugh. Did the almighty Jos Vanrunxt connected this salmon to the guy's fly himself?
I hope not.
I remember Jos from our times at the Pielach, when he lost the keys of his car, finding out after he was soaked in the river.
Went up, to find a screwdriver to unleash his wheelcover, where a spare key was hidden to change clothes.
5 miles up, 5 miles down. Change clothes and 5 miles up and down for a second time, to bring back the screwdriver.
Half an hour after that, he "drowned" for a second time.
We found him in his car, exhausted, wet, tired and half a sleep.
That day, he caught his biggest grayling sofar. We called him "NELIS"

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.
