The single egg, or "Glow Hook

The single egg, or "Glow Hook" is a great pattern. We've used it here for Steelhead, Coho Salmon, sea run cutties and Bull trout in our rivers for years. Tied in colours anywhere from deep red to chartreuse and mixing colours is always a good bet. It's a very simple pattern to tie and if you asked the multitudes of fish we've caught with it, being totally realistic isn't really necessary. As long as it's trimmed properly and while fishing you trim off any loose yarn and keep it egg looking, it will catch lots of fish.

Hi Paul Please could

Hi Paul Please could you tell me the location of that lake that your friend Martin had his Photograph taken on one of your web sites.This has been debated with my friends on the exact location of this lake in the Beacons.

Hi Martin,

You can add my name to the list for a GFF hat. Mine is about to fall to pieces... :?

Kirk,

We spent quite a lot of money on producing some really nice stritched caps once back when. But what was supposed to be a small source of income to pay for hosting and other expenses on the site turned out to be a very slow business. And the people who ordered were spread all over the world and it cost us a fortune in postage.

We could consider doing another batch, but we'd probably have to take in orders before having them produced and have people pay the full postage for them. But we certainly have a lot more people visiting the site today, and might actually make some money to cover expenses.

I'll discuss it with the guys

Nice video

Hi Steve, i wanted t

Hi Steve, i wanted to first of all thank you for this web site. It really does fill a void. Your photos and detailed info leave little to the imagination and this is the way it should be.
I do have a couple of questions though. 1. Do you use this midge in both moving water and in still water ie.lakes etc ? In each case what fishing technique do u use? So do u use a strike indicator in one or both cases or do you prefer to fish without the indicators. Sometimes i like to grease a leader up to a certain point behind the fly and occasionally pull on the line to simulate the vertical movement one can observe the critters engage in as they make their way uo the water column. I observed this activity through the use of an aquarium. So tell me what techniqes you prefer to us and when. Thanks Mike Lombardo

Nice fly. Guess it would be

Nice fly. Guess it would be somewhat transulant in the water. Should attract the seatrout.

Enjoyed your article

Enjoyed your article on the Lamiglas "blue ridge" blanks, but where can
you purchase them? I tried the Lamiglas web page and the Mudhole
catalog among others and can't seem to find them.

Hi Kirk,

Hi Kirk,

Nice pictures and nice brookies. The season opens here on April 01, how appropriate that the first day of fishing season is on April fools day.

straddle bugs

hi chris,thanks for the comment about the site,its got alot of work needing to be done ,if only people stopped phoning me for flies then i could get a bit more done it [maybe a sreamer page ?]
straddle bugs are just the style of pattern,i think that they have some catskill patterns called straddlebugs,they are fiished wet ,just under the surface
i will hopefully be sending you some soon
best regards john

Martin, it looks like that

Martin, it looks like that fly would be a perfect imitation for those sand eels. I am going to have to try that fly for sure now, some of the local lakes have "minnows" here that look quite similar.

I am going to have to check with my step-father and see what part of Denmark his family was from. His mothers maiden name was Larsen and she married a Krauch, they emigrated here about 45 yrs ago.

Come to think of it is there a place called Feju ( pronounced Fayu ) or something very similar. It might even be an island i can't remember for sure.

great

That will definitely be worth a try, I am sure the others would appreciate that as well...
I understand you're rather busy person, nevertheless I hope you'll manage to arrange it.
Should you need a hand, just let me know (I can hardly imagine how to help, but anyway... :lol: )
