Hi

Trying to send an email to Rod Sutterby can you confirm his email please

I have caught so many sea trout on this pattern over the years especially in spring.
It's a pattern I am confident in using.
No matter the quarry, by adjusting the size, I am sure it would work on all species.

Reminds me of the time a guy walked off to the end of the beach on Sandy Neck on Cape Cod. It was about five miles to the end of the beach and he went about half way down. People just couldn't understand it. Why walk when we are into Stripers right here. The guy came back a few hours later dragging a fifty-four pound Striper. A lot of tongues in cheeks that night. A lot of shaking heads.

This is a nice jump. The photo is blured/ shaken. Overall it would probably look better if you zoomed in or cut off all the empty space at the left (try holding a hand over the left half of the pic and see for yourself).
Youg get 4, dude!

Is this tool for sale ANYWHERE?!? I cannot even find it on the internet -- even the C&F website has dropped it. What's up?

hi

got this dvd to day, a nice movie. I will hope for more of this nice movies.
big thanks to ozzie and co.

Serge,

my setup consists of a floating shooting line, a very slow intermediate shooting head and a normal nylon leader app. 5 yds.
I strip it in using longer strips, shorter, fast, slow - but (too) often I just strip it in using 1½ foot strips.

Just discovered this site and all most fell of my chair when I came across this fly. I have been using a fly very similar to this that I developed from the Bunny Belly Anchovy for Bass fishing in the UK. The only difference is that for the underside of the fly I use Fox tail as I believe this does not foul as much as the Polar fibre. This fly has become my fly of choice for Bass and has been very successful taking many Bass together with Pollock and Mackerel. However despite the presence of Sea Trout (some very large) and Salmon I have yet to get a take from these fish (using any fly).

Nice fish. usually i have to resort to corn to get a beast like that. The carp in my river are about twice as spooky and about five times as strong as anything else that swims in there. Ive got a picture of a twenty pounder that i caught in a pond near the river on and eight wieght fly rod with corn as bait. Im five foot eight, the mouth is at my chin and the tail is just past my knees. I think it might have been a little larger than twenty pounds on second thoughts. the carp over here are great, only me and a handful of other people actually fish for them.

The photos I can see in this article are really very beautiful, but I'm not so surprised because I'm used to spend my summer and spring days fishing mullets in fresh water with flies in a river in Tuscany, in Italy (I'm Italian...) and I must agree... it's a wonderful fish... I don't know... maybe i will buy the DVD... so i will be able to learn how mullets are fished in Baltic!!

I love fishing but i also love fish,
please, always catch and release!

P.F.

Macias,

Sorry I didn't notice your post yesterday, but you managed to answer it yourself - and came to the same conclusion as I would have adviced: go fishing! Sea trout fishing in the sea can be done all year unless there is ice on the water.

We haven't been out this much in January (yet), but the one day we did go was worth it.

The water is still some 6-8 degrees C in some places and very close to optimal for the fish. There is very little food in the water, but chances are you can find fish.

It's not as productive as March or April, bu just get out there!

I JESPER AND KASPER
how do you work the fly at sea ? you strip it fast or very slow ? do you use a floating or sinking tip line, what is the best setting.
thanks for comments
serge

That's a good point Keld.
It's kind of a natural way of sorting out the anglers!
I seem to have been labelled Mr Wedellsborg but in truth I rarely fish there.
Most of my favourite haunts never see angling pressure, which is why I never meet anyone or anyone meets me, and why I have no friends....!!!!

Hi Ripley.

I think you HAVE to walk long distances in the future, because of the big sea trout, caught on your spot last week ;-)
But in a way, it's a good thing that there are so many lasy anglers, in this way we can have the distant places for ourselves, and in my opinion, this makes a sorting of what kind of angler we are meeting too.

Yeah...Well that's nothing. I can catch 2.5kg fish with my bare hands and still cast pretty far with the rod strapped to my feet...
Your fish looks kinda small don't you think. You been messing around with photoshop?

Seriously...A nice fish. 2.5kg is a pleasure...
You should of took an umbrella!

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.
