my first shrimps

I have tried to tie some shrimps, perch seemed to be interested in it, as I got more than 20 today....Rodney, you know where....

Great article dude,

Great article dude, always exiting to read about fishing in exotic places particularly when it's place you do not normally associate with fishing.

Rodney...

I deffinintly know, what you mean. I had(may be have) same idea. But at summer Ive been in Costa Rica for a couple of months, where I staid with fishing guide and I fished for a lot of fish spieces which Ive never seen before!! But after three months I was like....Ohh my small graylinks, trouts.. Deam my river infront of cottage... And now I am just looking forward for next season!!!
It isnt mean that Iam not gonna visit any other country!! Ive a lot of plans(Canada included :lol: ). But for next year iam gonna fish a guide just in my country(just two short trips to Turkey and Bosnia). In Czech we ve sentence it means somethink like a "everywhere is fine but at home is famous". And thats exactly means what I feel write now...
Merry christmas and happy new year :lol:

And sorry for my english :cry: Iam trying to do my best :( ...

Hey vanuz, Merry Christmas. :

Hey vanuz, Merry Christmas. :) We just figured out our plans in the upcoming days tonight. My 27th is mostly free, girlfriend is going to the movies. If you would like to go to Ishøj or Tryggevælde River and would like some company, I can join you. If you cannot head out, that's ok too, another day is fine too since it looks like Denmark decides to remain tropical this winter. :lol: Anyways, fire me an email if you are available and interested. info@fishingwithrod.com

After getting some errands done on Saturday, I convinced Nina to go to Tryggevælde River for a quick outing. We did ok, the world's smallest pike decided to grab my fly. :lol: Nina landed a perch on the spinner. I finished the day off with a sea trout that apparently found my perch fly very appealing. In addition, I managed to lose a mysterious fish on the spinner.

Interesting looking flies Dada, would love to see more. :) Where I come from, anglers are definitely quite spoiled and unaware of how lucky we are compared to anglers in other parts of the world. In the Pacific Northwest, our fishing season is basically 365 days of the year, with up to ten different salmonid species available. Here in Denmark, although salmonid species are not as diverse and abundant, I enjoy the hunting aspect of exploring species in different fish families. My initial attitude towards predatory coarse fish such as northern pike and perch is that one only needs to drop the presentation in the water and reel in a fish. That has since changed after not being able to produce from time to time. :)

Bruce:
You can buy

Bruce:
You can buy the whole pelt which includes the soft hackle and the chick-a-bou, or you can buy them sold separately. They are sold either way, which explains why your fly shop has them in separate selling units.

Nice work with the s

Nice work with the slow shutter speed. 5.

Nice photo, but sinc

Nice photo, but since it is absolutly non-related to fishing you end up with a 2.

I believe the thread

I believe the thread turned translucent and not opaque.
"I did not use color preservative which allowed the thread to turn opaque and take on the color of the blank."

Wow, I thought mulle

Wow, I thought mullet were confined to the southeast U.S.! We fish for them in saltwater with cast nets and in freshwater with earthworms and dough baits.
It seems they can only be caught on the rod when they migrate to fresh water.I will try the fly now. Thank you for broadening my mullet horizons.

Rodney....

Be sure that Iam jealousy!!! Because in our country, in my country we havent fish like you have!! We´ve a lot of nice graylink and trouts streams, but trout season is to short or during floods is impossible to fish there so we´ve to fish for another like pike, asp, perch, zander and a lot more.... Ill send you pictures if you want....
And by the way.....iam gonna do it again :wink:

Hello Everyone!

T

Hello Everyone!

Thanx for the all people who's the read my write!

Ruan!
Call the my friend (Zoltan Pinter) after spring goin the Asp catching

Accepting this is no

Accepting this is not C&R fishing, one can easily imagine what the angler is doing, namely shouting to the other anglers, "guys there are no fish here, I saw a couple of angry grizzlys chasing the salmon away this morning".
You get 4 for the composition of this picture.

Hi Hoppy,

Hi Hoppy,

your shrimp is fantastic! Don’t stop trying, I thing you have a fine hand for tying and we will see some more nice patterns from you.

In my opinion the head of your shrimp is at the right place, looking forward and swims right. One of my first flies 5 years ago was a shrimp to catch some seatrout in german and scandinavian saltwater.

I wanted a nearly natural shrimp and fish the shrimp mostly. Maybe it helps you seeing a “forward swimming shrimp” to create your own stil.

And don’t forget the “Honey Shrimp” on GFF.

We have to thank for

We have to thank for your comments!

Ruan,

2/0 (like TMC 811S) sized 'ducers, gurglers, big poppers will do the trick to catch "monsters", especially at Lake Balaton - Central Europe biggest lake. ;)

Very nice compositio

Very nice composition you incidently made. Check it out, you managed to keep the 4 golden spots of the picture objectless, which is actually quite a task with the all the elements in the picture, fish, fly, hand, watch, fly line, feet/ sandals and a branch.
A lucky shot and you get 5 for it.

Well composed with g

Well composed with good elements. The moist (probably from a fingerprint at lens) at the upper center really pulls the other way toward a 3.

Only with a Nikon ca

Only with a Nikon can you get such sharp macro details. You get 5 for going really close with a camera that can handle it.

Yes, yes keep 'em co

Yes, yes keep 'em coming dude! 5.

Nicely composed. Bea

Nicely composed. Beatiful colors. Dude, a 5er is on the way to you!

Vanuz, don't plan your trip

Vanuz, don't plan your trip around my schedule on the 27th just yet as I still have to confirm with the boss/gf. :shock: Even though it is a Christmas lunch-free day I suspect something related will require my attention as well. I will post as soon as I find out exactly what has been expected from me. :)

Dada, back in British Columbia, our primary target species are salmon, trout and steelhead so being able to explore species in other families is extremely exciting for me. :) By the way, did you just sign up in our discussion forum as I accidentally deleted your new account. :? We have been overloaded with spammers lately, resulting in a dozen fake account deletions, sometimes I end up deleting the ones I should not. Please feel free to sign up again. ;)

Also, back to the original topic, let's see some of your favorite perch flies. ;)
