Elegant. Stunning. Simple yet devastaingly perfect composition.
The moment of perfection where man, nature, camera and composition meet at their best.

Classic. Very dramatic, yet simple. I like the long, narrow horizontal format.

The Best! Astounding! Great attention to detail. That fish is so wet and shiny he looks alive!
Professional, studio quality.

These swim in the rips of Nantucket Sound when mature sand eels are the soup d'jour...

SuperHair can get nasty ugly after being assaulted... :shock:
I use a stiff brush to restore the original unmolested illusion...

Big enricos yellow perch, matuka sculpin and diver flies dominate my box. I like natural baitfish colors most of the time because the pike i fish for can be pretty color selective(if you can believe that). i also always carry around a large supply of those salmon bunny leech flies, big pike and bass love em!

The Morum Guiding Knot is the SAME as the Duncan Loop! - great Knot(s) though. Orvis knot does look interesting - hope its good on 6 and 7X tippet. (Will know tomorrow!)

Hi Florian,
I've just sent an email to Martin, that I'm going to attend the meeting. So I'm not on his list, yet.
I live in Leverkusen (near Colone) and if you like to travel on the motorway via A3 / A1 / A7 to Fyn, I appreciate to accompanion you.
If you are interested, I think it's best to correspond directly via Email

In clear water like that you may have to use a bit more stealth. I have fished many small rivers and the fish often get a look at you before you get a look at them. A bit of cloudiness in the water makes it a bit easier. I fished some Brook Trout streams yesterday that got their first rain in about two months. They were much easier to fish than they have been. Overcast skies, a bit of turbidity in the water and shadows make you more invisible.

Yea it works fairly well, especially if the water is a little off color. my experiments in clear water havent gone so well, but thats mostley because the fish take off before i even get five feet of line stripped off the reel. Ive seen smalmouth be skittish like this but ive been fishing this river for easily seven years and the pike can be more skittish than any pike that ive ever fished anywhere else. there is very little rain for most of the summer and the water gets incredibly clear. you can see the pike quite easily in the small river during the day, but they wont even follow a fly until the sun starts to slip behind the trees, then if you put it in the right place it gets hammered. does anyone else fish a river like this?

Since you got this far …

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.
