Is the bead chain eye tied in above or below the hook shank? The examples look like they are tied both ways. Great looking fly.

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-ty

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.

Just an idea, 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. ;)

Nice pike by the way.

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

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,

Fladen is know for t

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 t

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
