Hi Martin, Just bou

Hi Martin,
Just bought myself a VISION Gillie this spring, not a 100 % fit to your needs, but it's light and no-nonsense, a close match in my opinion.

I spent some years in Esboenderup and some time at the shores up north. Try the Lighthouse at Gilleleje. You can park at the restaurant. Seatrout can be triggy this time of the year, but my best results came after sunset and using siluet flies. Seatrout are rare, but the Codfish are plenty.
Have fun
Tight lines!

Heres another little

Heres another little known fact my father Robert Kenly has many years of apoxy and fiberglass experience. I remember he built a sail boat in our garage, the "All Girl III" in the late '70's. Designed, crafted and named in honor of his three daughters. Sadly, the "All Girl III" never made it to water, but built with his own hands and covered with, what seemed to an eight year old girl a foreign substance. The boat survived harsh weather year after year in our back yard and outlasted many of the cars we bought through the years. Trust my fathers apoxy methods and tips they will absolutely serve you well.

Dear Dad,
How prou

Dear Dad,
How proud I was to find this on the internet, your story, your flies, what you've been up to lately. The Salbot Fly ..It's beautiful. I am his daughter, Helen , and my father is a genius. Always has been with so many talents. Believe it or not he wanted to be a history teacher. My father tied a fly just for me and framed it, where it sits on my wall to this day and is a conversation piece of friends who come to my home. The Pattern was Davy's Prawn with a Partridge hook , size 1/0. I love you dad, you look wonderful.

Still no fish

So got up this morning, bright and early at 03:00, beautiful day, lovely sunrise, - but still no sea troutÃ¢â¬Â¦ I have now been fishing morning and evening, and still no catch, arghhhhhh.
Are water temperature to high (15 degrees Celsius)?

Regards
Peter

KaiÂ´s 2008 secret fly

... cannot wait to see KaiÃÂ´s flybox this year. One can never guess what kind of a catchy pattern this man is going to use :lol:

Nevertheless, pls have a spare one for me Kai.

P.S. It brings bad luck if you donÃÂ´t share your secret fly with Vanuz.

No extra mono

Colin,

There is no extra piece of mono. The loop is formed by the leader itself. It's best seen on this picture.

Martin

Don't quite understand

Hi, I don't quite underrstand where that loop comes from. Is it a seperate piece of monofilament? Sorry, I just cant tell from the pics. Thank you in advance. Colin

Confirmation

Hi there,

Very good to hear that Martin is going to organize another summit.
And I feel relieved that the time of the summit fits perfectly in my time schedule.
Therefore I say thank you Martin and I look eagerly forward to meet all the summit friends like the years before.

Hope I see you all in September

Like the Gaspé in Canada (Quebec)? I dont know much about canada but my uncle always says (he's living in the US near the canadian border) that when i go to Canada i need a couple of big streamers due to the BIG northern pike that live there. So you're sure of at least one specie!

Hi,

IÃ¢â¬â¢m going to Trysil, Norway this summer to fish in the Trysil river, asked for advise on this forum, and was given this link: http://www.fluefiskesiden.no/. Hope it will give you some help. Seems we are going to fish mostly dry flies, after advise from a guide I have made arrangements with in Trysil. Elkhair caddis and Europa 12 should be some fine flies.. Size 10-16.

Safe journey
Peter

Dear Henk

Dear Henk: Is it possible to build the furled leader with different thread weights such as 3/0 for the butt of the leader, 6/0 for the mid sections, and 8/0 for the tippets. And, how would I go about doing that. Thank you..

Allright then, in 2 weeks i'm

Allright then, in 2 weeks i'm off with 2 friends to norway, not to the area mentioned above but the [url=www.plahte.no]Plahte Estate[/url]. Since I've never been this far up north in Norway i don't know what to expect. I was hoping if anyone can give me some advice on flies, especially the right sizes. Here in Holland i fish mostly with small sizes (16-20) but this seems a little small to me for Norway. Any other tips are highly appreciated, i haven't got much experience with fishing in moving water.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
