What if you got someone /or yourself tie a set of Grey Ghosts or similar on these . Would make for a good group for someone to buy for the cause

That's a great idea Bob, but i don't think "these" hooks would be the best for a Grey Ghost. I do have some #6 Allcock 1810 or some #2 Willis hooks that might be a candidate for something of the likes.

elnegropescador,

Maybe and maybe not.

I'm not able to grant you any such permission, but you will have to follow the video to the source (Vimeo, YouTube etc.) and contact the individual copyright holders. I just use the sharing function that the originators have provided to show you the best videos that I have found out there.

Captain Rose,

Here in Idaho where I fish for carp one not be able to see carp to catch them. However signs of feeding carp are necessary, here, particularly bubbles as a fish roots on the bottom, and occasionally muds or both. We use a small foam indicator with a fly underneath the depth of the water, a hook up design or a favorite of mine, a large egg pattern. The bubbles will stop and resume, indicating the path of the fish. If you have the depth correctly figured out this method just works, very well. When that indicator dives things get exciting. Another method I use but few of my crowd do as it can be slow, is to drag a hook up design over a clean bottom on a full sink line. This does work, inch the fly back ever so slowly and really try to feel the take, than slip strike. This method I use especially for very early carp in some local ponds in March, when they rarely show themselves other than by their leaping. Other wise I agree with everything in this finne article!

Martin,

Thank you for the reply. I will indeed continue to peruse your site. Since I am the one and only with such a problem I'll try to contact my server as they may be the source of this angst.

Again, thanks! Gregg

Gregg,

I certainly don't hope that there's any risk in contacting me! Especially not for nice comments like yours. Such comments are always very welcome and much appreciated.
As far as I know there should be no risks, and we have never been subject to any malware or server attacks of any kind, so I think listing GFF as a risky server seems a bit unfair. You are the first person I ever heard mention such an assessment.

If I were you I'd take the chance and continue stopping by. To my best knowledge our content is technically harmless, but of course very dangerous in many other ways, leading to increased urge to own gear, books and DVD's and many other nice fly fishing related items. Not to mention the risk of being infected with uncontrolled and highly contagious cabin fever...

Martin,
Your site is THE most informative and well done I've come across, and I wish you continued success. But, could this be the reason my server has you listed as "medium risk" and suggests not contacting this mail? I'll take the risk, though not telling my wife.

Best, Gregg

I would rather relax and watch these wonderful videos than any offered on the major sports networks, great scenery, fish and most of all people and places ... Keep em coming

Very nice to be reminded of your story Kelly. If you can accomplish the level of tying that you now have in just 3 short years, we are all in for a treat in the future.

thanks Chris. I tied some Lew Oatmans lately. You are the only other fellow I know who seems to admire them! Awesome ties and the Brook Trout takes the cake. I recently had opportunity to handle some original Oatmans and I can say they could survive a mauling, very strongly constructed.

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.
