TVK,

A special line... Heh! Many anglers actually use plain floss - almost any floss will do, even dental floss as long as the breaking strength is good enough. You can also find special floss made for the purpose, often just called "dapping floss".

The method is mostly referred to as dapping or blowline fishing, and you should be able to find references to that on the web and if you combine that with the name of author Robert H. Boyle you will most likely find his book on the subject.

Years ago, I saw an outdoor fishing show that featured a flat English flyline. The fisherman would put his back to the wind hold his rod tip high, play out line that would float in the air do to the line's 'wing-like' cross section. The gent would then lower his rod to allow a dry fly to lightly touch the water. He'd then raise the rod tip and repeat the process....dipping and skidding the fly across the water's surface. I think the process was called "doodling". I cannot find this special fly line. It would be dandy to use on the upper Platte River on windy days here in Colorado. Anyone know if this string is still available?

Hi
I'm probably heading to Copenhagen in July/august for a week staying with friends and was looking to do some flyfishing. Do you have any suggestions for chasing any fish on fly in the area (i'm not fussy, anything with fins).

[quote:9c06cc4ec9="Jonathan"]Hi all,

I had a great time at the GFF2007 Summit and was wondering if there has been any talk of a repeat in 2008 :?:

....yes, there has already been a discussion about the new 2008 summit - as far as I remeber, it was even at the 2007 summit itself :lol:

I just keep going back to these flies time after time, fantastic beautiful patterns love them to bits

use another bead on the end of the fireline , instead of the other hook. There's is no need for 2 hooks..( i think..)

Nice and helpfull. One thing that I do when spooling is I take a small piece of masking tape and use it to temporarily hold the end of the flyline on the reel, and then wind in the flyline. Then I tie on the backing and fill up the real. After that, I just unspool it neatly in the yard with the flyline on a clean rag, and tie on the end of the backing and spool it all back on nice and neat. The first time I spooled it the normal way and ended up having to remove a decent amount of backing because I had over filled the spool.

The GFF money box

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.
