Let's hear how you did.

I went by the St. Vejl Aa today and there were hordes of anglers fishing for perch with bait - and obviously catching as many as they wanted... I watched for 10 minutes and one couple of guys had a take every minute or two. Not big fish, but a lot of them. Buth there were probably more than 20 anglers fishing right by the sluice that opens the stream into the salt. Too many for my taste:

[quote:18f8507fbc="Rodney"]Sounds good Martin. Nina and I are going tomorrow. ;) I'm up for it anyday really, since I am working mostly night-time here (daytime in Vancouver). I think Vanuz would like to go too after our outing last December. :) Anyway, we'll report back tomorrow if there are some catches.[/quote:18f8507fbc]

Hi Rod, sure I´ll come and give it a try - as soon as I get over my lazy period that I have had for last few weeks :) Grey, grey, grey weather, no signs of fish... :x

[quote:c394329f29="Rodney"]The last couple of seasons we've focused mainly on fishing at Tryggevaelle River, so I would like to give some other waters a try this year. Anyone wants to recommend a lake/slough/river/brackish water around Eastern Denmark?[/quote:c394329f29]

Actually Tryggen is probably way better for perch than a lot of other places you can go. Another shot could be one on the salty inlakes or fjords such as Karrebaeksminde Fjord or Praestoe Fjord. But you will need a boat to fish them as well as any lake you might fancy.

I would be pleased to join you wherever if I have the time for it.

Laurie,

Tie the materials on the thinner 'bottle neck' end. It will help if you place some varnish/glue on this area before wrapping the start of your tying silk, as otherwise the silk wraps may spin, and this method gives additional security of the silk to materials anyway.

Nice painting. Too bad it was done with nymphs instead of traditional steelhead flies.

Hi Vanuz
There was a polarizing filter !!
Thanks for your comments ;)

Hi Brian!
Casting with three heavy nymphs might release the cone and as a result, indicator slides down.
However with a perfect fitting cone and the indicator built on a softer tube, you are able to lock
the leader pretty hard. I have occasionally used three heavy nymphs with the foam version, done my casts with care and used a full flex rod (slower motion); no problem.
On the yarn indicator, please be careful not to spill floatant on the cone, this will reduce the friction when trying to lock the indicator to leader.

Here's a site for all poly cord for strike indicators. They have about 20 color plus one cord that glows in the dark.You get 50 yards for about $4.00 bucks. MacrameSuperStore.com then go to Bonnie Braid. I also use the O rings from Harbour Freight and then use the small rubber band from the orthodontist to hold it together...Good luck

This pattern has become my go to pattern. It has taken many fish from brown trout on Central Ohio, Rainbows in the Smokys, to Great Lakes Steelhead. You can't buy it and any shops and not many folks know about it. My fishing buddy and I never give out the pattern name or recipe. It is our secret weapon and hard fished waters. Thanks for the pattern.

Anonymous,

Sure you could add a tail, but why? The fly works as it is and requires no thread or tying. A tail may look nice to us, but the popping action is fine without and the fly much easier to make without.

Fish,

Best way to get a cap is to come on the 2008 GFF Summit, and get it directly from the hand of the man himself! :wink:

See you there?

[quote:e189fa4ff3="Fish"]So Martin what's going on with the caps???? :)[/quote:e189fa4ff3]

Fish,

I'm almost embarassed to say: but I have a bunch standing in a box on the floor in my bedroom, and never got any further with my plans to sell them on the site. Getting the payment here isn't that easy. PayPal surcharges like crazy for all transfers and makes life a mess if you're not drawing out your money in the US and I have failed to find alternatives. And work has been hell... and the weather... and the fishing... and... ;-) No, honestly: I have just been busy.

Will see what I can do and will consiider any suggestions and ideas from you people.

Martin

So Martin what's going on with the caps???? :)

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
