Behind the eye. If you tie off the hackle against the post in a clockwise direction, and then make a normal whip finish behind the eye, your thread will be pulled under the head/thorax. When you make a reversed whip finish you don't have that problem.

[quote:0fcee834aa="Olle Bulder"]Could someone tell me something about the fishing around Gilleje and
Udsholt?[/quote:0fcee834aa]
For those not knowing: the locations are coastal spots in Denmark.
Olle,
Udsholdt is a very nice place to fish - quite popular and sometimes crowded, but with fine conditions when the wind isn't on.
Right now it's getting really warm here, and I would recommend trying early mornings and evenings. Sunrise and sunset is your best bet for sea trout. There might still be a few garfish around, but most have gone now. If you walk along the beach in dayight, don't forget to watch out for mullet. We haven't really seen any yet, but any day now...
And remember to look before you wade. In the morning you will sometimes have fish all into the shallow water close to the beach. Walk along the beach and keep an eye on the water. These fish will often show themselves.
If the wind turns west or any northern direction, don't bother. The northern beaches will become dirty very quickly and stay so for days after hard winds.
Good luck!
Martin

I've tied so many flies and thrown so many since I viewed the DVD that I'm exhausted thinking about Mullet. They jump over my flies, they swim underneath them, they taunt me every second that I spend hunting them. I lay on the rocks, casting on my back, crouching like a crab and walking the same, and still no Mullet.Why? Why? Why? HELP me please.

Nice ant.
I am not following the part about the whip finish. Do you whip arround the post or next to the eye?
Paul, Why don't you put a fly construction web page up. However put details of the best lures for different parts of the Uk.
Put it on the web, and allow users to put details of their best lures. In this way a DB of the best types of lures etc can be developed for the Uk. As an advantage you will be able to learn from others.

Hi
Steve ties good flies, but he took my money last year and I am still waiting for my goods.
Doesnt return my emails or phone messages.
Be careful when dealing with him

Peter,
You are so right! The recorder normally "lives" in my photo bag - which I remembered - but I left it next to my computer after having produced episode one.
So it goes...

Hi Martin,
Thanks for this follow-up podcast.
This just to tease you: if you forgot the recorder at home - I can't resist this: so much for early packing!... :)
Regards Peter
