Good evening, Feridun,

Good evening, Feridun,

Well, as far as I know I would say that both reel-types are consequent developed and unique concepts. I know that a lot of people went crazy about the Dom-Abs in Germany. In fact I like the straight design, but I think they are not that solid they should be. But an real alternative? Until now, no. I don´t know if you like the design of the Galvan Torque which is different but also unique. The discontinued Guideline Watergrip looks a little like that.

And the only alternative for the backwinder is to have one and then find someone like Megoff who is able to make a 1:1 counterpart.

Hi! I am new to this website and west coast fly fishing. I have fly fished before for trout only in Colorado & New Mexico. I just got my own fly fishing rig and I'm 200 steps from the back bay in Newport Beach, CA. I see mullet fish jump out of the water all evening long after work. I have been down the last two evenings with no fish. these fish are way too close to my home not to catch. I haven't fished any topwater flies at this point. any suggestions? thanks!

Dear sir
I have always had a problem when tying flies as you never seem to have everything at hand when you need it,I have just made a desk and I am amazed how tidy you can keep everything
Thank you for posting you brilliant idea

I wouldn't bother with an 8-weight. 5-6 is fine, 7 is heavy in my eyes, 8 is overkill if you ask me.

Net or Boca...? Neither! If you want to release the fish, use your hands, if you want to keep fish, beach it. I have never seen a Boca grip used for sea trout, so if you want something, choose a net.

CU Friday!

Few questions...

Hi Everyone....

I am just about ready to start packing.. but since this would be my first trip "up north" i still have some questions.... I plan on taking along a couple of 5wt rods .... do I also need something heavier...or can I leave the 8wt at home?

net vs boga grip .....I personally think a boga grip does less damage to fish than a net.. but my experience is limited to Pike,Pikeperch, Bass and Tigers.... is a Boga OK for Seatrout ?

see you on Friday !

Ruan,

More...

Vanuz,

No worries here mate, I still have your number, just in case we run into trouble. You do have some experience in rescuing stranded Lithuanians, I know.

Can linen/towels be rented at the hostel?
[/quote:b0f160de28]

Yes, I'm positive that's the case. It's 60 DKK for linen and I guess towels must be available too.

You will need to bring bed linen and a pillow case. The Hostel provides duvets/blankets and does NOT allow sleeping bags! You also need to bring towels yourself.

Summary...
I have been following the fishing the last 4 weeks and I have even managed to get in the water myself. It can be compared to the Friday and Saturday of GFF '06 - http://globalflyfisher.com/reports/gffsummit2006/.
There's plenty of fish moving around. Most are deeply coloured but the norm for this time of year.
Fish are picky with full bellies so prepare for time-wasting, fly followers.
One last point: Fish are very close to shore. No need for distance casting or ear deep wading.

I will put up some GFF signs for those first timers driving to Wedellsborg. This will take you to the parking area.

See you by / in the water.

Sounds like a nice trout.

This weekend was put aside to catching some Bleke, but due to the recent rain, the river is very high and virtually unfishable. I've got a local guy that'll guide me to catching this rare fish, so I'm just waiting for the right conditions and time off!

Otherwise I've had some lovely brown trout, though nothing near topping my 3.5kg fish of last year. Have just come home from a lake I haven't fished for about 3 years, and have had some lovely trout. So I can relax a happy man this evening.

Out again tomorrow, to see if I can get some large american brook trout.

Hi Feridun,

Hi Feridun,
I was in Egersund this Summer and fished the Bjerkreimselva River at the mouth of the river. Saw lots of girlse and saw lot of people fishing for them. I was there for a week and saw only one person take a salmon and that was with a worm. I managed to hook up with a Brown trout of about 1 Kg and that was it. I spoke to the bailif ( guy who controls the permits) and his response was that the river was full of fish but none was intreasted. He did mention zone two but I chose to fish the mountain lakes which resulted in a few fish of about 500g and lots of smaller trout.

I have been looking

I have been looking for a good tube tying adapter and it looks like Snowbee do a "universal" version of the tube fly attachment that will fit in an existing vice. Apart form the vice attachment it's apparently the same as the one for the Waldron.
