Hi rolandas I really

Hi rolandas I really appreciate your philosofy of fly fishing I have the same.
I travel many time in the south e north Patagonia every time with tent, withouth exepensive guide, walking and walking..

After your article I have really a dream, to go fishing in thath incredible lake. Unfortunately The only way that I found Is with loop or estancia laguna verde. In effect it is easy but they want 3000 euro for fishing a week, noo it...is too much for me. Now, maybe the dream come be possibible also for me? could give me the email or adress of estancia pecho blanco or the effective way to contact the owner. Thanks a lot rolandas and congratulations again for your courage (coraggio in italiano)
Claudio PS sorry for my english..

I will be travelling

I will be travelling to Sardinia and Sicily in June. I need any information that i can get on fishing along the coast in salt water; tackle, type of fish and licensing.

I have my own variant of a Christmas Fly with green/red and it is highly effective for spring brook trout here in Newfoundland. Your pattern is more elegant than mine and I can't wait to try it.

The problem with this fly is that people will take a shine to it and instantly start making modifications. I'm already thinking the fly would be nice if it had a butt of a different colour. Kelly Green dubbing with a red butt, sort of like the Green Machine colours. I jest of course - your article hammers home a point: Our flies have become so elaborate that a return to the basics almost seems revolutionary. The only drawback I can see to this fly is that you could make a hundred of them in a couple of evenings - which would leave an angler a long Canadian winter with nothing to occupy his time.

Perfect movie... Mak

nail knots are a breeze if you pull the thin end of the leader through first, starting a short distance up the line from the end. Pull through till there is enough of the butt end of the lelader left to make the knot and proceed.

I am just getting started to tie flies and have VERY few materials. I only have the materials to make wooly buggers in brown and black. What are your suggestions for materials to buy to get further into fly tying? I live in western new york and live near a stocked brook trout stream. What are your suggesstions?

It's a very, very be

It's a very, very beautiful movie, but the "mouse year" thing does not match what one sees.

Absolutely NONE of the fish caught in this movie is a mouse fed trout, and even though they do catch some nice (but out of condition, by NZ standards) mountain rainbows with mice imitation (which is still and amazing feat), there is no huge brown/bow, either caught during the night or during the day, that has the typical "mouse fed" condition.

This is no surprise because the film was no shot during a real "mouse year" ...

So, yes, it is a wonderful movie about NZ fishing, but the interviews about mice have little to do with the fishing which is shown in the movie. The only really large mouse fed trout shown are on old pictures from the early 2000s or late 1990s, which is disapointing considering the story the film pretends to tell. The movie is extra high quality and the pictures are amazing, though.
