Hi,

Hi,
I bought #9-10 14' Vision 3Zone DH for practising how to cast double hands,but I made quite a big mistake (I think like all beginers) when I bought Spey line..I thauht that it will be quite easy to cast it,but I was wrong :D I bought Lee Wulff Triangle Taper Spey #9 I think.
Its head is wery long,so when I tried it I was wery sad :x It was imposible to cast it,becouse my casting skills was wery limited..
Some time ago EFFA flycasting instructor Reinis Rutkis (from Latvia) in his casting presentation told us about the main mistakes in double hands.He recommended to buy shooting head and runing line system and suggested us to use this: http://www.scierra.com/pwf1.htm
It is much lighter to cast rod with shooting head system than spey line and I experienced that :wink: So my Triangle Taper line will be in use when my skills will be better :) Also it is easier to learn casting with floating lines :idea:

I hope that I helped you a little :roll:

Kasper,
As a holiday Gozo was great, but for fishing it was dismal! I tried flyfishing from the rocks a couple of times (we were only there a week, and it was a holiday with Nan and her sister and brother-in-law). The water was amazingly clear, and I could see small fish, but they didn't want to bite!

I tried some mullet with a fly, no joy there either. I think maybe the fishing close to shore might be better in the summer and autumn, when the water has warmed up. While we were there in early May it was freezing! There is a good chance we will go back on our own later in the year (September?) as I have a friend who has recently moved out there to work, and we can go and stay with him. So there may be more news later on...

Thanks for asking, and thanks for the medflyfish website info.

Tight lines!
Les and Nan

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to thank you all for your advice.

I eventually ended up purchasing a 14ft #9/10 :D

Thanks again

And will let you know how i get on.You have very informatives sites and a great help to beginners like me and others.Hope its ok to pass your GFF site on to my friends.

A fantastic layout .

A fantastic layout . I am very imprest with the overall cost and the simplisityof how it has come together it has given me some good ideas.
Now of to BQ all the best tying and flying

Here in Argentina is

Here in Argentina is not uncommon amongst people to regard others either as heroes or foes, with nothing in between.
Encouraged by him or not, Mr. Krieger does not escape from that point of view, which I think not only damages him as an instructor but also destroys great opportunities to learn what ever is worth learning from anyone and just move on.
Regarding the public waters Mr. Krieger loves to fish in Patagonia, I wish to add that Argentine anglers without dollars in their pockets are kicked out, sometimes at gun point, exactly from some of the very same places.

It is not Lago Paloma, is Lake Desierto.

Contact

Hi Vanuz,

Your right...DistantStreams is down and off line for good. Contacting me there would of been fruitless but the guidesyndciate address works, that I can guarantee. Try it again: admin@guidesyndicate.com or my personal email: ripleydavenport@email.com

So, your interested in Lithuania? If you still are, then let me know your intentions. We are (as always) going over to visit family very soon and later in the year but I am flexible with dates. I have already been over twice and I feel the pull again.

Finland?
Unfortunately, there are many formalities to get in order and Fly Fishing Team Denmark were unable to meet the deadlines for this years World FF competition.
A couple of the teams members had babies due and work held others up but plans look set for next years event in New Zealand but that's a long way off and much could change.

Your pictures are very nice. Lovely scenery. Slovakia seems very inviting.

Good to be in conatct again Vanuz

Rip

That's a really nice

That's a really nice one! But it looks like a baltic salmon to me, though. Ans Yes I am jealous, lol :)

Hi Martin, congratul

Hi Martin, congratulations for the fly.

Look my "Chernobyl Ant Tube Fly"

I think the man in

I think the man in the back of the picture is nothing to brag about, picture could have been rated Global Class if he was not in the picture.

The article is great

The article is great and shows that the "correct behaviour" seldom is how the fish really behave.

The movie is great and it adds a new dimension to the gff, now there is words, pictures, podcasts and movies to educate and entertain readers.
Great work!

Anyway, how are you Vanuz?
Long time no hear. Hows the fishing been treating you?

[/quote:725923eae2]

yep, you´re right. I have tried to reach you at your old distantstream email address, but it seemed to be down.... then I tried your new "syndicate" page, no luck again, so I have just given up :?

I´ve been mostly fishing in Slovakia this spring (to many business trips there). I fished rivers and trout lakes and cannot complain, but no evidence, though - did not have my camera on me :)

....just been making plans for upcoming period, that´s why I tried contacting you regarding Lithuania trip.

How about your invasion to Finland? :D

EDIT: I have just found some photos to illustrate how picturesque our country is :)

Drink?

We do "drink and fish" but stay well under the limit.

Anyway, how are you Vanuz?
Long time no hear. Hows the fishing been treating you?

If your not catching much then your not fishing enough!

Hope to see you soon?

Rip van Mr June.

what the hell do you guys

what the hell do you guys drink when fishing? :lol: :lol: :lol:

You are so right abo

You are so right about this video. It's all about mr Krieger. His audience sits in speechless adaration before him. It seems no one else has the ability to say anything worthwile about flyfishing.

However, I visited some of those wonderfull places: stunning, he certainly picked the right places to flyfish!!

WHY DOSENT IT HAVE I

WHY DOSENT IT HAVE INSTRUCTIONS

Bob,

Well you sur

Bob,

Well you sure are in the royalty regarding tube flies, and in my opinion you have broken the barrier several times with your stuff. Need I mention one of the first patterns ever contributed to this site or your entry in our fly tying contest back when?
