Hi folks,

Hi folks,

I plan to arrive to Denmark around Sept. 15th, leaving to Germany on the 21st. So I am in as well - some time already blocked for FISHING I never want to give free again...

I believe the idea simply to book with short notice one or two houses seems to be relatively worry free and easy as well.

Are there alredy some intentions towards soem specific areas at Fyn?

Rgds,
Ole

Hi Martin,

Hi Martin,

Where did you get this ferrule plugs? I've been looking for this for a while but they seem to unavailable in fishing stores.

Hi Martin,

Hi Martin,

Kai- do you have any fixed dates planned ?

I look forward to seeing all of you there.

Ruan.

well done. I plan to

well done. I plan to tie a few of the different versions to try in Texas on bass and blue gill.
We don't have the trout so much here. The water gets too warm and the ox level drops in the summer months.
Thanks

I might have come ac

I might have come across as overly disappointed, that isn't the case. I like the DVD, unfortunately I can't find the disc anymore, I only have the case :-(. As Martin says, they do catch a lot of fish on mouse imitations in the movie, and I certainly wasn't expecting (or wanted) a how to guide to tie or fish them.

- But yes, I was actually expecting more night action. I personally, got the impression that the goal was to catch them at night, but I saw very little of that.

Btw. Here's another trailer (if the system will let me include the link): www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSp3nwVltmM

Like Jack I'm going

Like Jack I'm going to be on Oahu in August (on my way to Christmas Island) - is the bonefishing any good at this time of year?

1st fly i ever tyed.

1st fly i ever tyed. brown in color. looked ugly, BUT i used this very fly in california, in the western foot hills and limited out in 30 minutes.(5 fish) Yes i am a believer.

Great article. I've

Great article. I've always used a whip finishing tool. I tried the above method, and after a couple of tries I made perfect knots! Thank you!

If you still have problems:
1. Make sure there is no twist in the thread. If there is, the loop will knot up.
2. Make sure you have a finger on the turns, when you pull the thread.
3. Make sure you keep some tension on the loop, when you pull the thread.

Who's "professional" enough

[quote:b9b2af1b97="t.z."]Who's "professional" enough to bring a camera should be able to bring a net as well and handle such a fish with respect. Sorry, I find this clip and the shown behaviour more than disgusting. Just plain embarrassment towards such a fine creature. Were they drunk?

I fish the rivers Co

I fish the rivers Coquet and Tyne in England and caught numberous Brown Trout, and that looks like a Brownie trying to get over shallows or feeding on a hatched insect

Johan and others,

Johan and others,

The book was published more than 10 years ago, and as you can see for yourself by visiting the publisher's web site, the book is no longer listed.

But did you do a simple search for the title on Google or on Amazon? Because such searches work wonders! We can warmly recommend trying them...

Lo and behold, there it is! Right there on Amazon, used and at a horrendous price - but there.

Where can I get hold of this book?

Jann's Netcraft

Jann's Netcraft has a pdf for download that settles the issue of real world hook sizes. Anybody that wants to argue can take it up with an ages old supplier of all things fishing.

Radoslav, The patter

Radoslav, The pattern looks good. I will tie this fly soon and i'll try it in Dutch waters (rivers, brooks
and "weteringen" -dutch little canals- ) Besides i was fooled by the picture, i thought it were 3 caddis larva's but it were only two.... Great pattern Thanks!!

I don't see how you

I don't see how you could be disappointed at anything about this DVD!
I can't see how this DVD could be better, well ok, maybe more fish and some girls in Bikinis.
Of the over 50 DVD's on my shelves, this is the best, the most beautiful and the most watchable.
I give it 9/10 (no bikinis)

Wow! nothing shy of

Wow! nothing shy of Awesome. Thanks for the great pattern photos and information.

while I do fish with

while I do fish with my own flies my eyesight isn’t good enough for the very small ones. I did purchase a selection of flies for a group trip to Slovenia last year from a supplier in Kenya . While the range of body dubbings were limited on patterns the quality of tying was superb - right down to size 24s and an unbelievable €1.90 per dozen!!!

Kasper,

I wasn't

Kasper,

I wasn't let down at all by the amount of mouse fly fishing, but on the other hand I never expected a "how-to" on mouse fly fishing with documentation. I think the scientists telling about the phenomenon more than supported the mouse theory, but it wasn't my impression that the film set out to do mouse fishing alone.

But of course tying and fishing the mouse fly does support the mouse theme, and to be fair: it seems to me that quite a few fish are caught on these flies.

Still it's one *beep* of a DVD!

Martin

I've seen it too.
S

I've seen it too.
Simply breathtaking and pretty much sets the standard for fly fishing DVDs.

Like you, after havi

Like you, after having seen the trailer, I was really looking forward to this. However I felt a little let down.

The intro was really exciting with an almost fictional story telling narrative, but they didn't carry that style further than the first scene.

I was also disappointed about the climax, they build it up around catching big trout at night on mouse imitations. I only saw something like ten seconds footage of a trout at night taking, what looked like, a mousefly but wasn't able to confirm that.

Apart from the editorial hiccups I think this is a beautiful fishing movie. It was pretty cheap, but then again it's only about 36 minutes long. I think if you were to watch this without any preconception you might have from the trailer, you wouldn't be disappointed.

I don't regret buying it, it was a good price and certainly provides value for money.

hi,
I am looking

hi,
I am looking to by a few of these flies because it is far to hard for me to tie. I am 15 yrs old and not skilled enough (YET) to tie this. please e-mail me at elk_hunter009@yahoo.com if you could help.

Thanks, Tyler

As an old steelh

As an old steelhead fly fisher and every-decade bonefish angler, I found this a most instructive page, and inspiring. Though I understand this page was written a few years ago, I'm sure the information--especially that about the flats and coral--will help me muchly if in August 2009 when I visit Hawaii I get a chance to fish.

Great pattern! thank

Great pattern! thanks Radoslav! Fished it two days ago and trout loved it... the takes were wild!!! Joe I also tried to tie it just like a czech nymph with superfine pale yellow dubbing for dry flies. You may think its crazy but that dubbing turns a bit translucent once in water and try something spiky brown for the thorax, the rest... just catch a lot of fish on it!!!
Cheers!
