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...

my great uncle invented the old faithful and their are not to many people who tie it any more just family members now most people who tie it ouside the family I am told tie it somewhat backwords the man that invented it was leslie hinshaw sometime back in the fifties

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.

Jordan,

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

Please tell me how I go about purchasing this book and any others which are beautifully illustrated and are for sale? Is there a catalogue giving this information?

I am going to S.Afri

I am going to S.Africa next year and was wondering if anyone could please advise me on where I can get sea fishing from. Am happy to go for sharks, etc ;o) I will be going in June and July 2010.

Do you sell the nutria strips?

Awesome intro to shooting heads, has answered a lot of questions, thank you.

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)

Hey Harry,

Hey Harry,
I enjoyed your article. I was wondering if I could try to take advantage of some of your fly fishing knowledge however, and ask if you knew of anywhere in China or Southeast Asia where rods are constructed. I'm looking to intern for 3-4 months in a shop or a company that specializes in building bamboo rods. I know this is a shot in the dark but I thought it was worth a shot!

I don't know about D

I don't know about Dave Hughes book but after sixty years of fishing I have returned to fishing small local streams. I was bought up on wee burns in my native Scotland where trout were so many to the pound now I fish in New Zealand where the fish of dreams come from. As in Scotland I converted a greenheart rod to 5 ft to fish the burns so I have just completed another wee rod, this time IM6 carbon, 6 feet 6 inches, 6wt with a fast action for the accuracy needed and the large fish. My average for small stream angling is 4lb with one per two trips of three to four hours. My best to date is 7 1/2 lb.
Books on the tecniques required to fish micro water are on a par with hens teeth so if anyone would like to get to grips with a most exciting and challenging branch of our sport this is the sort of book to buy.

Nice work, and I lov

Nice work, and I love hand-tying my own leaders,...but the thought of working in Excel to provide for my fly fishing needs is counter to why I fish at all.

I believe that a good option, for the fishermen that we behave correctly and we try to inculcate it to the other ones, it would be to be able to have this logo recorded with thread (it patches) to be able to hit it in our fishing vest.

A greeting and good initiative

Hi, Amazon will only

Hi, Amazon will only stock the NTSC version of the film, so if you were looking for a PAL version, this may be your problem.
PAL Versions will be on EU shelves shortly, or they can be purchased in Europe from www.flyfishingmasters.se
If you are having problems with Amazon with regard to NTSC, I'd very much like to know. Please drop me a line via our website. Many thanks.
