Hi Heiko,
I have a client going to Chile in February. I was wondering if you know of any great guides there?
Or for golden dorado in Uruguay?
Thank you,
John Miao

The green feathers of the back can be use in the Fuzzy Wuzzy necklaces with green chenille body and otter hair with the hair as tail. Very good for fly fishing at Patagonia Argentina.
You can use the green feathers as ring neck in my Cicada pattern, with gray marabou from one red breast feather as tail, light brown chenille as body, gray dubbing as thorax. Very good for fly fishing at Patagonia in January.
Can use the brue feathers from the wings as wings on the beautiful wet fly Butcher or, I like more, the Bloody Butcher with a small red feather of breast as tail and beard. Can use the blue feathers as wing on a EVA Gum blue damselfly, a fly good for lakes at Patagonia too.
Can use the white and the brown biots of the wing in a Prince Nymph, with a small brown and red feather in the inside zone of the wing as ringneck.
With the marabou at the side of the yellow back feathers can tie a Damsel Nymph. A gray Damsel Nymph of course.
I tie a sea Shrimp with a side red feather as tail, orange chenille body and a side red feather as ringneck.
With the yellow feather tied in pukeko style can have a good caddis emerger, with green mohair yarn as body with the back of 3 fibers of brown ostrich and ribbing of copper.
With the tippet can have the legs in a caddis nymph.
I use red feathers of the breast in soft hackles too, just need to look for the small feathers and use size 12 hook.
With tail I do wingcases in gray Hare's Ear nymphs.
With the wing small brown feathers I do tails and hackles in without wings emergers with gray dubbing.
With the aftershaft I do the body in a soft nymph with marabou from a red or yellow feather ass tail and ribbing of copper.
With the marabou from a red feather I do the tail of my nymph, with 6 ostrich fibers in palmer as body with ribbing of copper, I use Chimango feather as wingcase but can use golden pheasant tail of turkey tail or other brown feather, fibers of the GP wing maybe will be good, and some gray dubbing as thorax, I use wildcat fur from an old coat.
From this article I think the Omoe Brush is the only fly you need to have when come at Patagonia, Argentina. Good to fishing at sea and in lakes and rivers. You'll notice that my shrimp is a variant of this.

Love this conversion, Dave! Beautiful flies! I usually have claret hackle. If you need a little give me a holler.

Hello Hank,
Found you searching for some fly-fishing action near Utrecht,place where my daughter lives.February I'll be a granpa from her and for sure will stay a couple months then and after that probably twice a year.I love fly fishing but know nothing about this practice there.
My pasion and also way of living is being a Hunting and Fishing guide in URUGUAY www.estancianinette.com ,so I can host- as guests - to pay back favors any New Dutch Fly fishing friends here to catch the "Dinosaurs" Hopplias and the Golden Dorado.
Please "route me on how can I get to fish while there, Pike is my pasion!!!!
Wait for your reply,and also any of you to try our fish.
Your friend
Hector Sarasola

Do not forget the number of fish. In Skjern you catch (on average) a salmon after 20 days of fishing in 2013 - so now the price is cheaper in Iceland 250 euro/salmon - in Skjern you pay 500 euro to catch one salmon( 20x 25 euro= 500 euro/salmon)

What is the best remedy
Bob, great job on the article! It brought back fond memories of the spit and how a seemingly easy place to catch fish can make you feel like a rooky kid all over again. Nothing worse than fish rolling and jumping feet away from you and nothing in your fly box even remotely interesting them.
Glad to see I was not the only one humbled by a fishing hole :-)

Nice fly and very effective. I tie a similar variety of this excellent pattern which I think i got from a Pennsylvania website. It can be a killer with a copper head. A variation I use is tying the rear hackle with olive CDC whilst retaining partridge for the front hackle..

Images very poor! Amateur images!! The fishing spot is excellent, but lack professionalism in filming ....

Wonderfully touching story. I'm teaching my seven-year-old granddaughter to tie flies and fly fish, and the unbridled exuberance she displays is good tonic for someone who has worn deep ruts along the stream bank for more than half-a-century.

Nice, almost brought a tear to my eye, OK, there was a tear. Its funny I've caught lots of fish over the last 20 years of fly fishing, but I will always remember my very first trout like it was yesterday. Just thought about that trout again, as I was reading your story.

Tom, love the fly! This fly will make our Army folks proud! Great, and fitting tribute.
