At last, I've found a website that tells you how to tie tubeflies....googling around the net I have found very few websites that deal with this topic as clearly as Globalflyfisher. Plenty of garbled, badly shot info on Youtube, though.
Speaking as a British, qualified teacher in practical NVQ crafts, I have found one glaring fault with 99% of sites that deal with flytying (plus books and DVDs).
Namely,
THE CAMERA NEED TO BE BEHIND THE FLYTYER!!!
(Raise the vice up to eye level and shoot over the tyer's shoulder).
The best way for a student to see a demonstration is beside you, not in front of you.

I thank you,

Harris,

Punta Allen and Boca Paila are two different locations as far as I know. Punta Allen is further south on the peninsula and on the way there you pass the area Boca Paila. I don't know exactly where the lodge Bocan Paila is - it doesn't really show from their web site. As far as I remember, I thought "what a great place to fish" when we passed Boca Paila, and the area seemed well suited to wade fishing. It's different from the area outside Punta Allen, which seems deeper seaside and requires some sailing before your reach the flats. At Boca Paila the flats seemed immediately reachable from the beach. But we didn't fish there, mind you, so I might be wrong.

White goat or calf body are very good here in New Brunswick.Instead of tying the hackle in first at the rear I find it better to tie it by the butt at the front after the body is dressed and trimmed.Take one full turn at front and wind three turns to the rear.Chase the thread thru behind the hackle and return to the front.Whip finish and snap the hackle off by hand.Now your ready for the next and no waste.

Thank you for the fabulous story. Cant wait for thr strobel pics. If I was serious about doin a do it yourself trip would you be able to tell me how to get in contact with the north land owner? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roolis,
It was about time this story met the public eye... It brought your storytelling from the last GFF Summit into my living room, thanks for that.
Although those of us that had the stories at first hand already knew, I think even people that didn't hear them live still can get the picture; you ARE actually crazy.
When are we on for Iceland?
Cheers,

Btw. what is this with calling you guys Estonian on the front page.... ¿Martin?

Rolandis,
Thanks for the Great story, brought back memories of the GFF Summit, whereas, again I found myself laughing until my sides hurt with your excellent horse riding skills
Take care
Paul

Nice one Stan, Glad you had a great time in NZ, maybe next time you can give the North Island a go as well, It is not as scenic but the fishing is just as good if not better as the access is mostly easier. Anytime you can make it I would do my best to take you for a fish.
All the best.
Mike.

I have been trying to find someone who may know the value of a Carrie Stevens White Ghost. No luck so far.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nice!
Some of them could be taken as a tattoo pattern for maniac :-)

I don't think that the TMC 2488 is the right equivalent hook. The 2488 is a straight eyed curved hook. I really like this pattern, I'm going to tie some up and try them here in the States.

John,

I haven't tried a p&s thermometer yet. How accurate are they? How you compared the two?

It,s a dream. You can look at the piqture and dream you away. Lovley piqture

My secret for winter fishing is a #12 stimulator with a beadhead nymph ~50 cm below it. Works like a charm when the fish are in the shallow riffles.

I love your paintings, which I've just found here by chance on the Web...

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.
