Slinky? WHat's a slinky? Never heard of such a thing. How is this used to fly fish for stealhead? Naive minds want to know.

I've never heard of slinkies before, it must be a very effective way of getting your fly deep. just curious how do you attach them to the line, or leader?

Hi Martin

Just what I needed! My Chotas after a years honourable service including lots of guiding are nearly worn out! Thanks for the advice. As far as glue goes, I've been advised to use neoprene based glues as they are particularly waterproof. Any comments or suggestions on what kind of glue to use? If you cannot indicate commercial names, please pop me a mail!! The only problem is finding a week when I won't be going fishing!!! ;-)

Cheers

Hello there....
the another think, as a little child(Iam still child:)) Iwas very interesting in entomoligy and I study crayfish a little too.... The think which I mena now is that crayfish has a stadium, evry moths they are changing the skin and processll take about two days and a couple of my friends told me this time is the most interesting for a fish because they are week, soft and his colour is nearly white......So may be it ll be better to tie very bright.......What you mean about that???? :wink:

Hey man,

But I think your 20inches slow strips ll work good......What you mean about this?[/quote:fcf499cb31]

Do a good 60cm (translating into euro-speak =) ) strip but do it slowly so it takes a good 4 seconds to do. The whole idea is that you are a crayfish walking across the bottom of the river/lake and going about your business unaware of the verocious predator stalking you from above.

Good Day,

One may substitute with the bristles from a brrom or brush. I use thenm to great effect.

Ouuuhhhh......
Ok, thanks for it. I know troutsll like it but I am trying to tie bigger and use them for our barsch,zander and may be pike too...... I think on 4 or 2 will work....Bacause this size I saw in barchs stomack.... :D But I ve to use very fast sinking line to get it on bottom.....Because the river is 2-3meters(10 feet) deep and stream is no so slow.....So its another complication...... But I think your 20inches slow strips ll work good......What you mean about this?

While your flyline might be a more subdued color so it doesn't scare fish, feel free to use the day-glo orange or yellow backing instead of the white backing that most vendors sale. If you ever have a fish that gets into the backing, you will need to see where your line is and what it's doing.

Hi Paul.

It not whats on the head, its whats... :P

But a sixpence helps :wink:

Martin,
I really would be interested in the GFF sixpence hat like Jari wears, maybe with the hat I could throw some nice tight loops like he does.

Sorry for my late report. I did catch some garfish in Denmark (near Haderslev). It took a few days for me to realize that all the takes i missed in the beginning of the evenings were in fact garfish. I switched to my garfish strings and that got me a few. I had all the takes on an orange shrimp (and nice also a 55 cm seatrout).

I had heard mullet are shy but when i got to North Langeland they were in the South. Thas what i call shy. However i caught some seatrout and saw some flat fish wonder around.

Now it's back to dreaming and hoping time passes quickly until april's back.

Tight lines.

Hi Martin,
nice Cap! It's a must for a just registered, I shurly take one!

Yup, count me in for one at least - I feel as if I've qualified by being on the Summit.

Agree with comments on colour from various quarters, but then, Olive Green has always seemed a good choice for almost everything to me!

Regards,
Les

Hi Martin,
You can count me in for at least one.
Take care
Paul

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
