Friday august 22 I'll be back in Denmark. Trying to get some seatrout, garfish hopefully and try to get a Mullet on North Langeland. I bought the DVD "Fly Fishng for Mullet" and as usual it looks simple. Gonna give it a try but if anyone has any suggestions i'll be glad to ty them.

I'll inform you about the results.

Personnaly i have been using a Sage RPLXi road #6 for the last years. I like this rod because it is a little bit a stiff rod. You need that to play the fish and to cast when you have a strong wind. I mostly use floating lines or intermediate, depending on how deep I want to fish (can als be controlled by the weight of your fly). My leader is about 6 ft of .50 and next 6 ft of .25/.20.

A for reels I used a Dragonfly (lots of plastic so no rust problems). Most importance is cleaning (directly after use in Saltwater). Cleaning and greasing.

I tied some of these up, went fishing on the South Fork of the Snake River south of Jackson Hole, Wy and caught quite a few fish in an afternoon. Nice pattern.

Jay - actually it was a bamboo rod made by a friend from Naples. Great Rods with a flamed finish. Medium fast action - it's a 4/5 weight but I was fishing with a 3 weight silk line.

It was a bamboo rod!!! I didn't use the shimano that day Kasper! It's actuall y a rod manufactured by an Italian artisan. Great rod!!

I have read a lot on flytying and have never read it so plainly as well as illustrated as well as you've done. Thank you.

Wow, that was a beautifull reports! And the pictures of those "red dots"...brought back tons of memories of the little rivers I used to fish when I was younger, in Italy.
Thanks for the beautiful piece.

Hi, I need to get two pairs of silk gloves. Do you know were I can find them? Please let me
know.
Thanks, Dave

Hello everybody,

Yes! I have my new saltwater #8 rod.
I have bought the Sage Launch. It casts very very nice and it's very nice made.

The Sage cast a lot better than my old Orvis Deschutes #7.

Thanks for all your posts.

Bye,
Lino

Martin,

I am looking forward to your article about Fly boxes.
I've been looking around to buy a nice streamer/saltwater/sea trout fly box but so far I can't find the right one.

Great shot, lovely colours of the Rainbow have been captured nicely.

Finally got the chance to try out these little blue Chroni's today on Bellos lake. Although the weather was a little off and on all day, overall it was good fishing. I caught a number of rainbows that topped out at around 20 inch. The largest on the blue chroni's was about 14 inch.

Bandi,

I wonder what you mean... respect? In what way is using a foam and plastic fly being disrespectful to the fish?

Garbage? Yes indeed! And I'm proud of it...
Simple, cheap and efficient? Yep!
Disrespectful? Not more than a couple of bags of flash or feathers from half a chicken on a hook if you ask me.

Innovative of course, but...

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.
