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

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.

Tuffleye FLEX...

Interesting stuff that won't shatter on impact with a beach berm or boat parts...
To finish it off I still prefer an alcohol wipe down and a coat of hard-as-nails...
works for me...

Great article!

I have never done any fly fishing but recently I was given a new (still in package from 15 years ago when it was bought) and empty fly reel. A friend at work said he had an unused fly rod which he would give me.

OK so now I have a rod and reel and have to rig it and learn to use it.

I went looking at fly lines today at an outdoor sporting goods shop. I noticed that the spools were marked with 4F, 5F, 6F etc up to and including 9F. What does that coding mean?

Thanks

My goodness, this fl

My goodness, this fly of yours is like what I've tied over 35 years ago, but with a slight difference, and yes it was called a 'caddis' at that time as well..the only difference was the hare's fur, and the name of the body material, and I use of a strip of 'latex' to cover and segment the body.....glad to know that we both think alike..............Wolfie..from Canada.

I don't know maybe s

I don't know maybe someone has thought of this but a simple piece of 1-1/4" ID pvc pipe (pretty cheap at the hardware store) would keep you from having so much rough sanding to do if you wanted a larger o.d. grip. you could simply put the threaded rod and the rings into the pvc pipe and this would align the outside of the rings as well.

Nope. We don't sell anything. We're an online magazine.
I recommend buying a skin at a furrier and cut your own strips.

Nice fly! As my practice shows there is no use to make such complicated steps. I use only 2 cdc feathers for both extended body and the wing. One disadwantega - it work only for one trout and the is totally destroyed, but for many graylings)
