nice fish and that's a dedicated man there! I had hoped to catch a grayling or 2 by now but the river was like liquid chocolate yesterday and its a blizzard today...might get out tomorrow but have to trot float, not fly....

I can't help but agr

I can't help but agree.

Picric Acid is NOT for home use.
No fly or fish are worth the consequences.
Would fish really care about the slight colour difference or if you lost your eyes?

Nice fish Hans, what a way to start the new year :o

It's blowing a gale over here and snowing, so I'm going to have to wait until next week, when the finer weather begins. Otherwise I'm just sitting here nursing a new year's flu I bought back from my recent holiday in the UK :roll:

Bring on the good weather and a healthy body :wink:

Hey

Ron is absolutely right. This is propably the worst advice i have seen on a webpage like this. Picric acid is an explosive. If the solution dries out and crystals are formed you have the recipe for disaster. Dont take my word for it, look it up in wikipedia. I couldnt supply the link here since your forum doesnt allow it but the word explose is coming up a lot there.
It makes the most fantastic colors, BUT its not for non chemist and absolutely NOT for homeuse.

Nice one Hanzie. My first

Nice one Hanzie. My first fish most likely will not be caught until February when I return to BC at this rate. :lol:

Martin, you write the most depressing blogs. :lol: They kind of reflect my experiences so far in Denmark this winter. :roll: I even mentioned you in my latest blog entry about my trip to the Swedish Coast on opening day. ;)

Maybe we should really do that perch trip to get the first fish of 2008? :lol:

Happy New Year everyone!

Likewise! And congrats with the fish!

My first fish will have to wait a little yet. Work is a pest right now.

On the summit you've

On the summit you've shown me your arsenal of self build rods and for me that was an inspiratoin of making my own rod some day. So that day is near! Coming week i'll be starting with my own project at my local fly-fishing shop which is giving a course on how to make your own rod. With this background information I won't be completely ignorent. Thanks a lot Jan-Ole!!

Great article. It's

Great article. It's like Russian salmon fishing except of good roads.

i have to agree thes

i have to agree these flies remind me of when i started tying them myself. but as my wife says, a fish don't know from ugly. as long as it works who are we to judge. we are trying to catch the fish not impress them with our tying ability.

If you are sick of t

If you are sick of the hooks tangling just cut the bend of the front hook off and sand the burrs(Dremel tools rock). Us steelhead guys in the states use a similar fly called an articulated leach( and you rarely miss a fish with the back hook).

Awesome website full

Awesome website full of information and a good source of inspiration to go out and catch yellow fish.

In Tennessee (where i live) soft hackles are getting pretty popular, and i've been successful with them. Every time i'm at my vise, i end up tying some. thanks for the patterns.

EXELLENT FLY!, CAUGH

EXELLENT FLY!, CAUGHT MANY CHUB AND BASS, THANKS GREAT PATTERN :))

because of the rise

because of the rise on bird skin prices, if my dad finds a dead, fresh bird, He brings it home and I get to keep the feathers. It saves me and him some money.
