It worked.

Hi Ryan,

The pattern worked. Nothing big but several sea trout caught and released between 35 and 47cm and pure silver over two days of varied weather. Sunny one day with four taken and rainy the next with five taken.
Loads of trout seen jumping and rolling on both days.

Having said that, we are having exceptional mild weather here and the trout are still feeding well.

I am 100% certain the pattern will work in all conditions especially spring and autumn. Make sure you tie of loads and bring them over in April. I have tied of 10 and plan to fill a box before rapture.

Excuse the photography...I needed pictures as quickly as possible with the young fish out of the water for seconds - if that. There's no joy is fannying around for a good picture with young fish.

Enlightening.
I adore solitude and will walk 10,000 miles (figure of speech don't quote me on the exact distance), to avoid crowds.
...Mostly because anglers are lazy. Most of us will fish close to parking lots because we don't want to walk...
Exactly!

Excellent article and very accurate. I flew from British Columbia, Canada to the Czech Republic this past spring to further study this highly-effective technique.

Orvis knot is the king. I'll never tie a clinch for fishing again. Look for the Ligature Knot for line-to-line connections, its just as good of an improvement over blood knots, and much easier to tie.

This is so on time.

This is so on time. All I had to do was go surfing. Now I can get on with the task. Thank you Mr. Joergenson.

Indeed a nice fly.

Carp flies

In this months The American Carper there is an article on Carp flies. That organization is a mostly big hardware type for Carp fishing but they have been softening to the fly enthusiasts among them. I don't know if it is possible to bring in a fifty pound Carp on a fly rod. It isn't like a fifty pound Striped Bass. It is like a 300 pound Striped Bass.

That's not a pike, it's a Russian Typhoon Class Submarine!

Dear Dada, you can look in Google-Earth
Summer Time and all saisons works very well ! But take all your FlyFishing equipment with you, its too expensive there :)

Latitude: 40° 1'9.14"N
Longtitude: 31° 38'35.87"E

Off course there is SAFE ! You are not in Iraq :D There is no different between where you live now and Turkey :)

Everything under 1/60 is slow, when you have passed the 47 years, and the hands are shaking ;-)

Guys,

Just to interfere with all the talk, I thought I'd comment on the shutter speed, ISO, aperture thing.

A shutter speed of 1/50th of a second is fairly slow. Most standard cameras manage up to about 1/500th or 1/1000th, which would be considered a fast shutter speed. An 80 or 100 ISO image would have to be exposed at about that speed at f5 on a sunny day. An overcast day like on the image above offers a lot less light and shutter speeds down to about 1/100th or 1/50th of a second could be expected.

Beautiful marble tro

Beautiful marble trout. Could have wished for more "fish" in the photo.
Otherwise an uncommon shot with good detailings. Also a nice way to release a fish without using direct human contact! You get 4, dude!

This streamer defini

This streamer definitely looks more fishy than your last input (on the same background).
I'd like to see the fly with a smaller head, however, I like the transparancy of it.

Most salmon fly tyers (and ditto fishermen) are unaware that one of the most productive design features is to keep the wing low. You made a perfect low wing on this fly.

You get 4 for the photo, dude!

Hi Ryan,

I have used the Teal, Blue and Silver many times in the salt and the sea trout love it. No quibbles there...
There's no reason why a magnus with a blue collar wouldn't work?
I will knock one off tonight and give it a whirl in the local salt.

Hi

Hi
We have a local flyfisher, Sean Mills, here in Cape Town, who seems to catch carp at will. Almost like walking into a candy store and taking candy from the shelves.
He has developed a couple of flies (carp bugger is one) and techniques to catch them.
He rates them extremely spooky, far more than trout.
We've had some good results with Czech nymphing flies and techniques as well.
Will contact him and see if he can't share his secrets here on Global Flyfisher.

Hi Keld i agree with

Hi Keld i agree with you, But isent 1/53 a rather quick shutter speed?

Regards Allan.

Ps. anyway its a great picture

Ask yourself dude, w

Ask yourself dude, when was the last time you saw beautiful human feet? No, they simply don't exist, right? Well, here's proof that salmonid (fins) are more beautiful than human (feet).
Definitely 6. Notice the very gentle touch to the water, that just makes it, dude!

i just started learn

i just started learning how to fly fish this year, and i have been looking very hard for instructions for new flies that i could use, so i think it would add to this very interesting artical if there were a set of simple instructions attached.
thank you very much.

I got to know Dec a

I got to know Dec a little while fishing on the Skagit/Sauk rivers in the 90's. I found him to be just as passionate about steelhead as suggested by the book's title. He was also enthusiastic and quite helpful even to non-customers. I found his book inspiring and also full of more techinical information about fly fishing for steelhead than any steelhead fly fishing book I recall reading. Way to go Dec!
