Work well done

Hi Martin -

Great website and a wonderful reference. Work well done.

A few friends and I were planning a trip up to Denmark ( we live in Switzerland ) and would like to fish for
Sea Trout in the river systems. It is understood that one needs a general fishing license, but will also need
to purchase, or find a place to purchase, a fishing license for the specific beat - or stretch of river they would
like to fish. I had found a forum which stated that one person "gave a bottle of nice Whiskey" to fish on the river section that was owned (taken care of) by the person (s). It was an older article ... but one that made me smile.

My questions would be:

1. Is it challenging to purchase a license for specific river systems? (Popular rivers like Karup, Skjren, Simested)
2. How much would these license typically cost per day, and are there restrictions that one would not know about just searching the internet.

and of course ... if you have any recommendations on what to use, time of the year, places etc ... that would
also be wonderful. We were hoping to come to Denmark either in the end of October, or sometime in November.

Thanks again,

Cheers,

Derek

K.K. The Golden Sha

K.K. The Golden Shadow rods were most likely built by Tom Moran, who went onto to work for Thomas & Thomas in the U.S. He returned to the U.K. some years ago & now does occasional rods for people. However he finishes other makers blanks, rather than build them himself. He did a phenomenal job of them mind, with prices way beyond their market value. You may be lucky to find a Partridge cane rod in auction somewhere, but other than that there was very little printed either by or about them.

Very helpful article which makes me glad I don't flyfish in saltwater - yet!!! Any views on suitable grease - I don't want to waste a load of money on so called specialist kit if some ordinary product will do the trick.

I have thoroughly enjoyed viewing this display of fly crafting. I am a fly craft-er and am inspired by the work of other tiers. Very fine work by all the tiers.

I watched this DVD and enjoyed it. I flyfish for mullet in estuaries in Japan and they can be very difficult to fish. Sometime I have to use a 6X tippet and size 12 fly when I fish for them in clear shallow freshwater on sunny days.Muttet have very good eyes, and that seems to make it difficult to catch them with a fly. I used the fly used in the DVD, but it didn't work. Maybe too big for mullet here, but I'm not sure.

Thomas,

Read the article from which the image comes (click on the image or some of the links over the picture). It has all the information you need.
You might also consider a simple search for Matt's name on Google... swoosh! and you land directly on his home page!

This fly pattern is most interesting. What size if most effective? Is this fly for sale? Where can I get it? Please let me know. I want to try it for results. I live close to the Great Lakes in the Midwest of the US.

Martin,

This site

Martin,

This site is most interesting with the Dirty White fly pattern shown here. I would like to try this pattern on some of the rivers in Michigan where Trout, Salmon, and Steelhead are plentiful. I have only been fly fishing since March and I am hooked. By any chance do you sell these flies? Are they sold from any particular Web site?

Best Regards,

Hi Kasper,

A grea

Hi Kasper,

A great fly. I tied some for fishing Sea Trout in Norway. This was the only fly that worked. After catching some nice trout I gave one Jiggy to a fishless Dane. Same evening he caught 3 fish one of 2kg.
Instead of Buck Tail I use Craft Fur. Beginning with white, some stands of crystal flash pearl, than a little pink finish with olive. Trying different color schemes I found out that pink makes a difference. No pink, no fish. Maybe only in that sea pool.
In a few weeks I will try them out in Denmark. Maybe they will work just as good.

Hi Charlie
Where in

Hi Charlie
Where in South Africa will you be?
As we have a coast line of a couple of thousand kilometers, the fishing differs tremendously.
Do you want to go Rock and Surf, on a boat or estaury?
The best will be to mail me and then I can put you in touch with the best people in that area.

Hi, I am Betsy Ligge

Hi, I am Betsy Liggett Norton, daughter of Mel Liggett after whom the Liggett Special was named. I was thrilled that this streamer was still around. I was wondering if I could buy one of these streamers. I have a poem I wrote about his fishing and would love to have the streamer to put in the frame with the poem and a picture of him very happy with a string of fish. I would be very glad to pay for the streamer and shipping costs. I after over 50 years, have very few remembrances of my Dad besides what is in my heart and would really love to have one of the streamers. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Very informative reg

Very informative regarding the use of hot glue. Appreciate the patterns that are suggested.

Thanks very much for all the

Thanks very much for all the input guys. I was lucky enough to have a lesson with Rene Vas from Manic Tackle on the weekend and I learnt as much in an hour with him as I did from the DVDs and Spey casting websites. It was great, now I just have to find the time to practice!
All the best.
Mike.
