Thanks.Just started tying tube flies. In the 20 minutes that I spent reading your " ...Turmoil of Tube...", you have given me more insight into the nature of tube tying, than the many, many, many hours that I've spent trying to get the same information from the web. Seeing all the different tube types & etc. in one place can only help accelerate one's progress in tying tubes. Looking forward to more!
Thanks, again

Thank you for posting the article on mullet fishing. I live in Okinawa Japan and the Japanese fish for mullet all day using a chum bait on the China Sea. I tried several trout flies on a 7wt flyrod to catch these nice size mullet and know they would give a good fight but they swim right by them. I will try your recommendations and perhaps have better luck.

It has a long time since i´ve tried to cast a fly for this fish with no succes...Now, this report gave me new hope.
Here in Brazil we´ve diferent mullets along the shore. In the south, 3000 km from were i am, they seem to catch on anything even a bare hook!! But here at north they are much more selective. But i think the key are small flies and a lot of tryng, again and again...

I have had success yanking motors from microwave ovens - the motor that turns the turntable works very nice and they can be had for free at the transfer station (aka: junkyard). The only advantage/disadvantage is mounting will vary and you will have images of bacon rather than disco sartorial nightmares.

I'm not very familiar with a brown trout with a green back and pink stripe down its side but i must be wrong.

I have been flyfishing for about three years and most of that time I have fished dry flies, Just this year I started fishing wet flies and I have enjoyed it tremendously and have had some good luck. I hope other unseasoned flyfisherman like myself give it a try.

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.
