    Great article Tobias.
    One can only imagine the scenes in real life but your pictures speak a thousand words.
    Have I ever done fly fishing in a helmet?
    Actually - Yes! Once in Coeur d' Alene in Idaho back in 2002. Some of the streams are like the one in your picture "Valentin gorge". Fly fishing in a helmet is a strange sight but no one invites a rock in the head!

    Another destination addition to the "to do" list.

    Guys!, come on we do this type of nymphing all the time in the mountain streams, it is about the only way to catch wild browns, when the dry fly fishing is slow, and the water is clear , the browns lay in the tail out of the pool, and you can't let your fly line hit the water or they are gone. Can't be stealthy with a strike indicator , those are for beginners.

    This can be used to imitate carp nuggets that come out of a carp feeder as well.

    Besides, Steve and I will be out fishing on the Friday (AGAIN), to reap all the fish!!!
    Remember last time? :D
    All being told, Steve and I landed about 25 fish at the last GFF summit, on the Friday between 50 and 60cm. A couple attached.

    Hi Vanuz,

    Don't worry to much about the Island.
    The option given is the best by far and gives more choice and flexibility.

    This year I intend to catch bigger fish. The heat is on...!

    See you soon Vanuz!

    So the venue has stayed the same, I hoped for that deserted island Ripley talked about last year. However, wherewer it´ll take place, I cannot miss it :D

    I envy the availability of those evening fisheries that you have. :) We certainly don't have those, at least not around the Greater Vancouver area. I've caught thick-lipped mullet in Asia before but never sight flyfished for them like what you do in DK. One day... Last year's short trip to King River with Martin and others was really special for me and I hope to be able to do that again possibly next spring. In the meantime, I just have to put up with these 45cm rainbows that love to gulp down a size 4 stonefly. :D

    Hi Rodney,

    Hope thing s are well with you all. It's been a long time eh?

    The pictures are lovely and I especially liked the last with the beautiful spots from the brookies. The first picture is a nice angle...

    Steve and I are out again tomorrow evening (Friday). We will keep our shirts on this time and hope for some prime silver and maybe some mullet. We know where they are...We know they are there...It's just a matter of placing that darn fly in the right place...

    We'll keep you posted with the results...

    It's so funny but taking trips up the hwy 395 along the Eastern Sierra to attend the Burning Man festival is what got me back into flyfishing! Fun fly, great name.
    Cheers,
    Bernard
