Oh if you wanna know where i was this one should do the trick :lol: the land/hills is sweden. It was taken at sunrise with a little north-eastern wind and the water was cristal clear. But i didn't see any action that morning, evenings were better for me.
Well, ... extremely difficult to guess the spot you fished, thereôs only the sea and the sun... It could have been anywhere. But good pics, though.
The "soup" was pretty muddy when I got there, visibility less than 30 cm... :?
srry m8 it works fine now. i forgot i changed some things for a test i had for my other website.
My dear boy, for anyone to start & finish such a fly & get copliments from one of my favorate fly
tyers, Bryant Freeman, & the couple little minor mistakes that were made are so easily fixed.
So, let's shorten the thread back on the eye a little, put another plus the one that is here in this
picture side by side. I know you have talent, show me your next version of the same fly.
[quote:29c3e1afb7="Olle Bulder"]Nice pics to bad you had a blank fishing morning. I've made some pictures too you can find a slideshow at www.coolinfo.speedxs.nl . Is that fishing spot near the place i went?[/quote:29c3e1afb7]
...cannot access the page
I caught mine with orange patterns and you could try further up north of hornbaek. See my previous posting.

I have an East Branch 7' 3wt 3 piece rod that I use for brook trout in the Shenandoah National Park, a great little brook trout rod. Unfortunately I beleive that East Branch Rod Co. has gone out of business.
Blatt,
I like overlining my own rods a bit (personal taste), but apart from that recommend beginners to do the same because they rarely have a full belly out when blind casting, and because of this only rarely load the rod fully.
Whether to overline in particular when using a longbelly line...? I honestly can't answer you there. Personally I would probably do it, but again, that's how I prefer it.
Martin
Many guesses here...When using a long belly fly line, would it be a good idea to overline the rod?
Thanks.
Arrived at 4 a.m., probably too late as the sun was just about to rise. Zero trip, but a lovely morning, though.
...glad you were lucky to hook some fish. Thereôs many regular Gilleleje visitors trying luck for days without even seeing a single splash!
Iôll check the beach tomorrow, anyone want to join? :lol:
Hmmm, maybe this green one may also work fine for the mullets!?
My father is a HUGE Musky fisherman and has asked for a mountable camera for Father's Day to capture pictures of his catches before he sets them free. Any ideas?

@ martin
thanks for the sunset hours tip, you were so right. Caught my first three seatrout and a garfish in just a few hours fishing. I wrote some words about it but it is in dutch so for the dutch people here, it s on www.vliegvissers.nl
@ vanuz
Sorry m8 did look for mullets for you (and myself ofcourse) but didn't see any. When i was walking in the harbour of Gilleleje at dinner time i thought i saw a mullet but id turnd out to be a rather large seatrout :). Some locals told me also they should be there any day now.
Dave,
The legs are made from feathers, which are cut close to the stem as far as I can see.
Martin
were do you get te legs, i need some please help
Erik,
It does sound easy just to put a video on YouTube, but trust me: producuÃÂng something useful in video is a lot of work - even more than taking stills. We do what we can to illustrate these patterns, but if we want to sleep at night and go fishing from time to time, a simple pattern like this will usually have to do with a few stills of the fly and some text.
Remember that we do this unpaid in our spare time...
Martin
Nice fly! Have been looking for a pattern just like this. Do agree with the previous comment from Bruce, would be nice with more pictures. One simple way would be to film while tying, putting it on youtube or something like that, linking to this page.
[quote:5da8cbfecd="Brendan Johnson"]By the way do pike take surface flies?[/quote:5da8cbfecd]
They do - typically in the spring and in shallow lakes. I have caught pike on this one in Lake Boegholm:

Some of the images are from that specific lake, actually.

Many years ago, I used to bait fish for Yellow's in the Orkney area. I recently started fishing for Yellows on fly in the Vaal, but haven't been successful yet. During my "bait years" the most successful bait (amongst crickets, locusts, shrimp, whole corn etc) was thumbnail size crabs. Do you have a fly pattern for crab, and how successful is it as a fly, compared to other flies that have been identified so far, for Yellows. Having caught, trout, Tigerfish etc on fly, I look forward to the day I hook my first decent Yellow. Thanks for a stunning article.
… 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.
