I found a black squirrel hide

I found a black squirrel hide sold at Gander Mountain. (I bought it at the store, not online) I do not know if it was natural or dyed black though.

As you say Martin, v

As you say Martin, very innovative system.
Those of us that tie tube flies have seen a number of different ideas this past few years but I believe this new system is going to the one that takes the cake.
We are in the process of setting up a distributor for North America and hope to have the product in shops asap.
If any one has any questions or enquiries please contact me at your leisure.

It´s a long time

It´s a long time since we´ve gone fishing together, Tobi! ;)

Nice meeting :-)

This may be a long s

This may be a long shot but I am looking to buy another Sully's rod finisher. I bought one 3 years ago when I helped a Varsity Scout troop learn how to make their own custom fly rods. Before our 5 day pack/fishing trip through the Uintah's I loaned it out to one of the boys who was late getting his finished and never got it back. Sadly I think it's history. Can anyone direct me to where I can get another one? The one I had before had two rubber reel seat holders instead of just one like the photos show. I would like another double one if possible. My son wants to make his own rod now - I couldn't be more excited. Please help me :) Thanks

Thanks Alvaro! Keep

Hola Carlos
Great work, let's continue Releasing & enjoying even more the Catching for the longest time.

Michal,

Michal,

Vision Koma is also a fine reel, but I honestly think the Okuma is way better.

Mine is rated for a 7 weight line and is quite large, but very nice and light.
There's a 5/6 and a 7/8 model. The capacity is as promised. The 5/6 model holds a 6wt + 50 meters of backing, so I'd think the 7/8 will be good for you.

Martin

Thank you Korrie!

Thank you Korrie!

Just on time! :shock: ! I

Just on time! :shock: ! I went for vision koma but just managed to cancel an order. I wish I was as good angler as you are reel hunter :) . Which model you recommend for WF6F+100 meters 20lb backing? I need to say I was misled many times about reel capacity by on-line info. Sometimes is just enough space. Thank you for all you help!

Incredible movie..and great soundtrak too. Who's singing?:)

Nice Pike Fly easy t

Nice Pike Fly easy to cast with short leaders and larger lines... One that feels right when you use it in Pike colors... Just seems fishy. Also good for late season big lake Macinaw in the shallows in Western Lakes white with red and black head.... Ever seen a bad Popovic Fly? Me neither...

One of my most enjoy

One of my most enjoyable days ever was spent casting soft hackles from a small island with a quartering breeze. The wind bobbed the flies hanging below an indicator. I kept the line tight and the hookups were violent. Beautiful sunny day with my wife's father and uncle. Both gentlemen now deceased, I used Nemes patterns and the yellow with fur thorax as I remember almost never finished a drift. When the conditions are right, this is one of the best style flies to use. Yours look fabulous. I will add them to the soft hackle box.... thanks

Michal,

You can find the reel several places online.

A Google search gave me the following and many more:

Does anyone have a c

Does anyone have a contact number or e-mail for Oliver Edwards? I live in BC Canada. Please advise me via my e-mail. Tight lines to all!

I have been a keen c

I have been a keen coarse fisherman for many years, now beginner at fly-fishing. This is a fantastic and simple to understand article which has saved me a lot of questions and made it much easier to purchase my first reel, backing, line and tippet. Now I just need to practice my casting so I dont hook my shirt, trousers, lip, nostril, or anybody else close to me, aha !

There are many reviews on-line recommending the reel but I cannot fing the retailer in UK or even i Europe.

I wonder what PETA's

I wonder what PETA's point of view is on "serious invasive fish species"

If I fish in a system where there are invasive fish species, which is detrimental to the ecosystem, I kill those fish.
I return the dead fish to the system, to be part of the food chain again.
I am sure that the smaller indigenous species that feed on the dead fish is only too gratefull of the freebie.

Thanks for this.
Some real clever thinking in the whole logo.
Want to place this logo on our club website, and maybe some bumper stickers as well.

Paul,

Thanks! You

Paul,

Thanks! You and I have fished together and we both keep and release fish. I sometimes wonder why there has to be such debate about the subject. I have rarely (if ever) found myself in situations where I didn't know whether to take or release a fish. Common sense seems to be a very good guideline, and my own very firm rule is: when in doubt, simply release the fish! Only keep fish when you are 100% sure that it's OK.
