nice article overall but the qote "and soon we were in the suit that suits us the best" is one of the greatest i've read.

very good work,, the images of our fishing dreams......

There was a guy soaking bait, and catching skates, near my home in Brooklyn. He checked his line, and had a shrimp, that looked just like the honey shrimp, impaled on an 8/0 hook. He was fishing in about 50ft of water, in the shipping channel. I've gotta tie some of these, as all my shrimp patterns are pretty beat up. Fluke and Bluefish like these, too. Striper season opens Apr. 15th, so I'll need the honey shrimp by then. Tight Lines, Lars p.s. report from Upper N.Y. Bay

Jesper & Kasper,
Man, you guys have produced a great fly. I really like the style of the fly and the legs are cool man. The Deep honey is smooth too.

Paul,
You are right about Connecticut and Rhode Island, I come from Connecticut myself and have made a fly similar to this one and if you send me your email address I will send the pattern to you. Okay :-)

Hello Kasper,
I recall making my own version of the Honey Shrimp in 1997 in kolding at the fly show. I would like to send you a picture of , but I am unable to do so becuase I do not have your email address. I tied a some what more realistic version using Wild Boar, Shellback, mixed dubbing cdc with rabbit. If you don't mind I would to send it to you per email.

I will be on molokai april 15-29th are there any bones there?

I started collecting

I started collecting fly rods a few years ago and now find out I really know very little. To save me time and money are there any good references? I want to spend my money wisely. I have accumulated a rod winding machine and some other odds & ends. I really don't know what I need. From reading your article you are light years ahead of me. Can you help with some sources?

Nice Asp, Levente!

Where on the Danube were you ?

Steve,

I will not

Steve,

I will not sell myself on an extended experience with mullet (I have hooked four and landed none), but anyhow: we sight fish for mullet and cast very close to them, but still avoiding spooking them with fly and line. The usual tactic is to let the fly sink and slowly retrieve it. If the fish show interest you can stop or speed up.

Regarding the pattern, the most popular pattern here is a bright lime green marabou fly tied on a size 6 or 8 short shank hook. I'm almost sure that bonefish flies would work too.

We have a mullet article in the pipeline right now, and expect it to be online any day.

Hope this helps you. Let us know how you fare.

I want to try to fis

I want to try to fish for mullet on the fly on the Nith esturary on the West Coast of Scotland. I have seen them tailing in shallow water out on the estuary at low tide however the water is usually coloured with stirred up sand. Would it still be possible to get them to take a fly and would small bone fish flys such as gotchas work? If the answer is yes do you strip the fly or just tweek it?

Regards Steve

Hi. I notice that the colour of the thread at the rear of the fly is white. Did you change thread??? Colin

Taking snapshots from quality video clips also work very well.

19km in one day is not bad. Not for the weak hearted or arm-chair anglers of course!!!
It reminds me of the days I spent in the Royal Marines. Minus the fishing of course but you can't have everything!!

Wonderful article.

Where is my passport

Where is my passport and my plane ticket, this is a serious fly fishing adventure. I'm sure the second trip will be even better, now that you know all the pitfalls.

Thanks for the advise. I had

Thanks for the advise. I had a few of those exact flies with me but just didn't think about them. I was trying to match with Bluegills. I should have known that the big bass were just reacting to the struggleing fish. We have a big high pressure on us today and tomorrow with the full moon tonight. Then a big disturbance tomorrow night into Wednesday. Should be perfect at sunset tomorrow. I'll let you know.

In B.C. lakes, trout

In B.C. lakes, trout fishing, we must use single barbless hooks. How do you tie this worm now to keep it from catching weeds?
