Matt,

There are campgrounds all around the country and many near good water. You can find the Fyn ones on VisitFyn, which also has lots of other good information.

Flies vary

Matt,

Flies vary in price. Sea trout flies are not that expensive, but expect 3-5 US$ a piece.

Korsholm IS the shop. The flyshop is inside and is just a part of the main shop. It's located in Jutland near Skjern on the address Jægervej 5, 6900 Skjern, Denmark. But if you are on Fyn, consider Go-Fishing in Odense, which is much nearer.

Whenever I go fishin

Whenever I go fishing lots of times I see discarded monofiliment by the bank or wherever I am. I carry a small trash bag to pick up all the trash around the river banks also beaches too. Lots of people are so disrespectful of discarding fishing lines that can tangle up birds and other wildlife too. Plastic Bottles are a big thing on the beaches wherever I go always find one!! People should bring their own BPA free aluminum bottles no more plastics!!

Shellback i

Deon,

Shellback is the common name for a tranlucent, rubbery material, which is used for shells and similar parts of nymphs and shrimps. It comes in sheets as well as in narrow strips and is often adhesive on the backside. You wind it as shown on this fly or tie it in as a shell on the back of other patterns, typically securing it with the rib. It normally stretches quite a bit.

It is usually widely available in fly shops, but in a pinch you can replace it with strips cut from heavy duty plastic bags.

Hi Martin,

I agree, it wouldn't be too hard to tie the fly from the photos, but I've been tying for a while now and can sort of work it out. I was thinking more of new tyers who may not have a ready supply of hooks materials etc and need to go and purchase.

I think you do a great job and I've been visiting your site for years now. Keep up the good work.

The video is there, and no, you don't have to be a member. Some users have had to update to the latest Flash-player to get it to work. But the video IS there and absolutely public and for free!

Completely useless might be putting it a bit harshly, don't you think?
If you run through the pictures you get a pretty good impression of the materials, which (as in most patterns) aren't that critical. Hook, thread, eyes, hair, braided tube, rubber legs, hackle tips, sand, marker pen and glue. I think a lot of people will be able to tie--or rather: build--the fly from that.

But due to Mike's and Joseph's comments we will consider adding the list.

And how brave of you to put your name behind your criticism! Oh that's right... you didn't...

Martin

Hey Carlos,

Hey Carlos,
Didn't you have any problems with this material when the fly is wet? In my experience these synthetics rolls over the hook when tied both on the up and down side of the hook body.

Rod,

Great to hear! I know Vimeo has been fooling around with their embedding and Flash/HTML5 and whatnot, so they might have changed something. Their service has started working on smartphones, so now you can also browse the GFF video site from your iPhone or Android phone. Sweet!

Rod,

If it's the videos from Vimeo that cause trouble it might because of a Flash/HTML5 problem. What browser and machine are you using to browse them? iPad's and iPhones can have problems with Flash video.

We use a standard way of embedding the videos, but I will check whether I can do something about it.
