The small trebles are used by scandinavian fishemen when the fish in the holes in ice during the winter. Try some email shops in Sweden, the have trebles down to #16.

Arthur,

They come there by themselves... coastal cod will willingly take flies fished in the surface. Cod is known by most people as a deep water fish but it does go close to the shore and feed in the shallow water too.

This is not simply dubbing was, although it can be used for that. It is cobblers wax. There are so many more reasons to use this sort of wax. It is not applied like newer waxes, rather you apply it to the thread prior to attaching the thread to the hook. Excellent article, I will make some up this week. Cheers!!

I am a Chilean beginner. I fished with a muddler-like fly and I did wonderful. Now, I am trying to tie it myself... I appreciate the tips. I will let you know how I have done!!!

Well,

We had a great meeting - Ole Willers and I! ;-)

Yes, the show was nice. I expect to do a blog post with a few pics.

In two years we will have another chance.

Guys,

I know that the issue of distance has been discussed before, and I know that traveling from Odense to almost any part of the coast takes time, but the choice of hostel has been dictated by two things: capacily and convenience.

Kragsbjerg, the hostel we have used, is able to accommodate 40-50 people and cater to them.

They have been very service minded and offered a good price. Heck they even sendy me a Christmas card every year!

I would gladly find a new place, and have looked into some locations on the west coast of Fyn, but I spend many hours preparing this gig already, and finding a new place at the same price and service level as we are used to is another chore on top of the rest.

I will be more than happy to use a new place, and should someone feel the urge to do some research and drop me a mail with the details - location, capacity, price, availability - feel free to do some scouting.

lets be sure whatever line treatment we use is safe for the environment and water as well as plastics!

My instructor is a master at her work, just as I suspect of you. I'm just a beginner, but will one day have my own to show and teach. Just looking at your work inspires me that much more to be the best. Thanks for displaying some great flies.

This Web page has fantastic color images of fly patterns I have yet to discover. Can you tell me if the bomber style pattern or the green engine pattern can be purchased? Can it be purchased on from the internet? I found this page by acident, some perhaps I can get this fly somehow?

Thank you.

Hi Rolandas, what kind of rafts did you used? size? any special recommendation?
I am from Argentina and fished mostly northern Patagonia so now i want to go more to the south. It´s an amazing region we have here with amazing trouts but as everywhere there are stupid people too. Sorry for the inconvenients you had to sort while staying here. Best regards.

sorry guys, we where little bit to late, so missed the meeting :oops:
the show was awesome (maybe it's because it was the first one I was taking part), maybe missed the lower prices for equipment, but anyways, it was great

here is some photos:

Good Points... I understand that some participants to the summit do come from a far and are not danish residents and want to fish more. So it would be a great idea to find a place nearer the water. But may be the option is a summer house or even we just camp it out.

Hopefully something can be arranged, but it will take more work to find a place that is big enough for everyone to stay at the same place.

Looking forward to meeting you all again and catch up on the past year.

Hi Vanuz,

I could not agree more..... it would be great to be closer to the water, which would allow us to fish before breakfast, as well as after dinner...

see you there..

[quote:fe207c9c79="Martin Joergensen"]Folks,

I expect us to stay in the same hostel as we have done the previous years and with a little luck we can get to fish the same water. But since I haven't contacted any of the locations, there is no guarantee.

Great to hear about the Summit. :D
My only comment relates to accommodation - no doubt it is comortable and we always got what we had asked for.... Nevertheless, I think we spend too much time travelling from Odense , as the town itself is centrally located and we always depend on hostel breakfast and dinner. Then we miss quite a good "fishing time" - mornings and evenings.

Shouldn´t we consider either changing the hostel, or the system of food provision?

Just an idea...

I found this page by searching for "Fly Fishing yellow foam bug"
This is a great website. I came back to it minutes after I printed what I had asked for and was looking for "Cheap Lazy Bastard" June 5th 2006..... it vanished.
How can I find it again and how can I get on your e-mail distrubution?
Thanks

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
