Hello Trout Bums some really great footage, and many exciting days catching big trout .I operate in Kamchatka Russia if you guys ever like to try out the big Russia Rainbows give me a shout.we operate on streams so remote it is fly in only no people,roads,boats just hundreds of miles of the best wild trout streams in the world
Wonderful picture.
I'd love love to drop a fly in that stream.
Hi guys just get clothes pins those that look like this -----------o then color them with hard as nails polish, cut them to lenght.Have a block of foam and stick them to dry, they are cheap and fast to make.
Gustavo.
Thanks for the welcome Martin, tight lines.
Cheers, Dave.
Jeeez, Martin, you are totally right...
What embarrassing! I am sorry, I did not recognize it.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers,
Gabor
Very nice fly! I love the B100 shape as well and the only hook I betray it with is Varivas 2210.
Hi Jim
I actually put fly to the acid solution together with hook. I found it more effective. Fly just look better to me. It lets me save the solution as well-is not easy to get some-I got my by accident.
Gabor,
I think the function you want has been in place for quite a while, actually. If you click on an image to see the large version, you can find next- and previous-links above the image to the right. This will take you through the images of the article one at a time - including the tying sequence.
Try it and see if this is what you wanted.

Ken,
The Teeny-type lines are usually vastly overweighted for the rods. I sometimes use a 700 grains line on my 9-weight pike rod. To call it casting when I use it is exaggerating a bit. It's more like catapulting... But with gentle casting motions it's possible, and man, it does get down to the fish!
Once you tread into the world of these lines, the usual "recommended casting weight" rules seem to cease existing, and other rules such as "get down fast!" come in play.
Don't worry too much about the weight in grains of the T-lines, but use what's recommended - and be prepared for a new casting experience.
Martin
Just an idea, Martin.
As recently you have provided the articles on fly patterns with detailed enlargeable photos of the tying steps, it would be nice to have an additional button that enables readers on the page of the magnified image to directly navigate to the next tying step instead of first clicking back to the article. Folks with poor bandwidth would appreciate it, too. Anyway, I assure you I remain your reader even if no change is done. ;)
Martin,
Thanks for your reply. I have never casted a full sinking line before. I plan to use the Rio T-14(tungsten) line and make a shooting head. For the floater, I will by a cheap 12wt tapered or double tapered. I fully understand there will be casting differences between the sinking line and the floater. My confusion lies in the fact that theoretically, 280 grains loads a 10wt(AFTMA) and everything I have read states that 350-400 grain sinking line will also work for a 10wt. I don't get it.
Thanks,
Ken
fishermanpl,
Use most of the flies for sea trout, which you will find on this site. Frede, Magnus, Bloody Butcher, Omoe Brush, Epoxy Miracle, Junio Mysis, Klympen and many ,many more,
Martin
Fladen is know for the bad quality on all of the stuff they sell, but those flyes cost approximately 4 Euros here in Sweden, but regardless of the price i can't recommend anything from Fladen. Believe me, I worked at a place that sold Fladen and nothing worked as i should. needless to say that we didn't sell much :D
Fladen is know for the bad quality. I have sold fladens lures and rods on my previous work and i can't believe how bad the quality is, sure they are cheap and all but i think that they should try to work on the quality.
Sorry if my english sucks :P
Hello guys .Im going to Bornholm on march. I`m beginner with fly fishing. Could you give mi some fly suggestions for bornholm in this part of year/
[quote:886bc01a91="Giedrius Z"]does anybody knows is the Jan Grünwald book "Havørred ââ¬â spin og flue i saltvand" translated into English?[/quote:886bc01a91]
Giedrius,
I'm afraid it's not. I think it's available in Norwegian, but thst won't help you much. German maybe...? Don't know. But English, no.
Martin
Sean,
The grip is generally considered safe for the fish as long as you don't lift the fish in the grip and jaw - and even then the fish seem to suffer little harm. Consider the tens of thousands of bass, which are presented by holding their jaw only (no grip needed, they have no teeth), and still seems to survive the US bass competitions.
No, I generally consider the grip a safe way to handle fish for both fish and angler. It has a good, strong hold and saves you fingers from the critter's teeth.
But you can of course also manage with your hands alone, as described here.
Martin

No problem with the link. Excellent little slide show, which shows nicely what the dual tube is.
Thanks
Martin
Whats the story with the vice grips in the poor pikes mouth ?
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
