Ralph,

Perfectly!

Ralph,

Perfectly! I just used it this past week, and it keeps on performing like a charm. The same bearing is still running, and apart from a bit of squeaking from the handle when it runs "out of oil" once a year or so, there is nothing at all to put a finger on. I use it in salt water at least once a month, most times more often. It gets dipped and cleaned in the salt, and I rarely rinse it in fresh water after use. It runs smoothly, brake is perfect, has no play anywhere.

Top notch reel and I love it!

Yes it does look awe

Yes it does look awesome. Rackelhanen is a very good fly. I know his Father. Kenneth Boström is a very famous Fly fisher from Sweden. But this is a very good pattern I love this fly and it is very good here in Trysil river in Norway. Can you make it in black and Grey too?

They look more like a noose tied in rope.

I disagree

I disagree with the first comment. What lots of us want is to re-create the old Overton's Wonder Wax, which is no longer manufactured, and which was so much better than anything else for sale out there today.
If this recipe is the key to re-creating Wonderwax, then this is a great public service. I will definately give it a try.

Hi Dave

Nice fly!! numerous vartiations on the theme (colourwise).

I've tried the dubbing loop method before but I find it rather time consuming so I tie cdc feathers from the tip and wind them hackle-style round the hook shank. It takes a couple of seconds and the result is very similar. You just have to be careful to choose the right sized feather and to stroke the cdc fibres back after each turn so they don't get caught up in the next turn.

PS Just wanted to pay my compliments for your great photos!! Makes me want to come back to SA (I live in Italy now)!!

Great article, I tra

Great article, I travel every year from Holland in april and september to Sweden's west coast and the flyfishing is always good.
Fishing in april and september at night also gives me good fish, not only during summer.

One question: 95% of my catches are somewhat greener coloured sea trouts, are these all kelts, and should be returned?

Hi, Rolandas!
I'm great surprised to see you at the Pages!

Hi Vanuz, and others

Hi Vanuz, and others interested in the championship.

If you haven't already checked out CFCC's homepage and know about it already, then this might be of interest:
This years championship is going to be held in a month, more precisely on the 20th of may. Directions can be found on their homepage.
I intend to participate, and of course hope to better my score, although I feel that the competition might be harder this year.

JS,

JS,

have you had any success yet?

It is nice fish, but have not have any image you can get mullet in Scandinavia.
I through this fish lives in much warmer water, as we have quite a lot in Tokyo and Yokohama.
By the way, if possible, could you recommend me a spot of Seatrout?
I am going to Murrum next week and if I have time I would like to try some Seatrout fishing at the sea on the way from Copenhagen to Murrum.

I like the looks of this for a foam pattern. Like to catch fish with them but their looks sometimes just don't appeal to me. The tappered look on the pheasant tail leg is also quite nice (but for fishing I might have to go with rubber legs)

Great fishing and ar

Great fishing and article but have not have any image Mullets at the Scandinavia.
We have may Mullets in our River and Bay, use small flys with indicator.
Very easy access from my home approx within 10min, but you can catch close to 10lbs.

I have actually tried this

I have actually tried this fly on many occasions, all resulting in no fish! So it seems the simple and original magnus a winner over here anyway.

Though the flies that are catching regularly are black zonkers in the evening/night and pink shrimps + a local sandeel pattern during the day.

Mr. Joergensen, we h

Mr. Joergensen, we have also mullets in Argentina. Anadromous fish, extremelly fifficult to catch. We are just a few anglers that are trying to fool them on flies. Normal mullets are 5 pounders and usual big ones in some big salty lagoons connected to the Atlantic, reach 6-7 kilos (13-16 lbs).

Thanks for this arti

Thanks for this article, I'm trying to soften up a heap of old candles to be used as modeling wax. I might try it out with a dash of oil.....

Patrick,

the hack

Patrick,

the hackle is made of angora goat, bright green. They can be tied in both weighted and un-weighted versions.
Add some tungsten or copper under the herl to make it heavier.
