Very nice descriptio

Very nice description of how to tie this classic dry fly. Once you master the simple techniques described, you will love tying this pattern. I tie more of these than almost any other dry fly pattern.

I fish primarily on the

I fish primarily on the danish coast ant my overall favorite is a good big hairy mudler for nightfishing.....but in the daytime another favorite is "Jorgens Demon"......

Just tied a bunch of "Epoxy Miracles" in green and in brownish - so maybe a new favorite is comin' up :D

Shame it turnt out to be a salmon :roll:

Otherwise a very funny clip and an amazing feat considering it was landed on a size 12 double fly and 0.25mm leader! It took 2.5 hours to land.

I always thought that

I always thought that carrying a landing net is a wise peactice when fishing for larger fish. Nice clip,

I fished briefly this morning in Strangford Lough , had two bites ..but I missed them

I must tie it in pink and try it

Dont tie loops into your leader, when creating the different segments let the tag end hang, you only need 3-4" of material. Also, another popular thing to do is drop the nymphs right off the bend of the hook of the previous nymph.

Personally I've used these

Personally I've used these realistic flies in a variety of conditions and have never had a bite. As soon as I put on a pink sparkle shrimp (basically the same as the glitter shrimp but using dubbed SLF sparkle instead of fritz) I get fish almost straight away.

As with most of my experiences, both for sea trout and trout, it's not what looks good to the fisherman, but what looks good to the fish. It seems, the simpler the fly, the better it is :shock:

Corbin,

I keep my Manfrotto tripod away from saltwater as much as possible, but it's still quite tainted (if not rusted) from contact with salt. These gadgets are not built to endure salt, and a freshwater rinse now and then can do wonders. If you're planning extended use in and near saltwater some grease over screws and locks might be a good idea.

I just purchased the Basalt (GT2931) 3 section w/322RC2 head. Love it, do you partial submerge your tripod in salt water?

I have a kayak expedition planed in the Everglades and was concerned about the possible salt water effects on my Gitzo Basalt?

Any feed back is much appreciated.

Shrimp

I do not know. But I has been inspired by this article: http://www.globalflyfisher.com/patterns/pinkpig/

I have used brown or orange coloured shrimps so far, so I am planning to try something new.

Nice shrimp

Is pink a better colour for the sea trout >?

Ernesto,

No one prohibits an artificially mounted sky, and if Paquito's friends want to vot for him, they are welcome. Each man has one vote, and unless that is misused, you can get your friends to vote the most crappy image a winner. It's not in the spirit of this service, but can be done. We can intervene if the voting gets too crazy - and we do.

Shrimp pattern

b0ogaloo. Your shrimp seems to me very realistic and certainly will catch fish. I tied some shrimps too and I am looking forward to test it next week in Denmark.

This photo isn't a n

This photo isn't a natural photo!!! the sky is artificialy mounted!!! The people that vote Paquito's photos are friends of him!!!!

Unless the fish was

Unless the fish was caught in some kind of restricted or protected area, I see no reason whatsoever why the angler should be considered "guilty" for taking it home to eat.

My dear friends,

My dear friends,
It wasn't necessary to buy this kind of tools, you only needed an ordinary needle.
The results are simply the same.

Yes Eduardo I totall

Yes Eduardo I totally agree with you but some so called themselves (Anglers) still does not understand that a trout swimming in the lake has much more value than smoked by the Weiss family in Bariloche where this nice rainbow finished. I submitted the picture just to show to the anglers of other parts of the world the kind of trouts we have in Patagonia. I think we must keep on working hard to stop having fishermen like the one in this picture!!!!

It's time for more new wallpaper.
Beautiful Stuff !
I can wait to see what you have in mind.

Trying to locate Pet

Trying to locate Peter Chenier - I see his post, but not an email. If anyone can direct me I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Hey Martin!!

Sure

Hey Martin!!

Surely it'll all get better.
Best wishes for good recovery after all!!!!
I'll be fishing for 16.-21. of March in Denmark, the isle of Als.
There I'll try some of these amazing patterns as the pattegrisen or honey shrimp.
Because I'm a SeatroutFanatic somehow there is, for me, most time of the year a feeling of illness because not being able to fish at the baltic coast!!

Using one of the alt

Using one of the alternative conditioners shouldnt cause any problems as long as u look what's in the bottle. Most of the stuff they sell in fly stores are probably stuff like Rain-X or other cleaners that has been on the market for many years for alternative use and then refilled into small bottles and overcharged 5 times because it is sold for fly fishing purposes. Most silicone based cleaners will work well anyway so why pay sick overprizes for 10 mL when u can buy 1 L for the same amount? Then u can be a tad more gentle with the amount u apply.

The One fly i never leave

The One fly i never leave home without is a Gold Bead Hares Ear nymph.
for dryflyfishing there is always a small black Klinkhamer in the box.
