Power pro as a tippet
Forums:
Fly fishing - Fish Better
I fish a small river sometimes for pike and smallmouth bass, and i use 50# power pro as a tippet to guard against bite offs. i was just curious if this would affect the number of bites , depending on if it was a surface or subsurface fly. i dont think it will make a whole lot of difference, especially in cloudy water, but this river can get awfully clear, and the smallies and pike can be as wary as trout on some days.

Fly tying - Tie Better

GFFsummit 06
Good people, I know that some of you have cancelled. But just in case I have kept you on the mailinglist for this final time. The rest of my communication will go out to the confirmed participants only. The first few hurdles seems to be overcome. We have been set up in the hostel (final confrmation still missing, but I'm expecting that any time now).

Measuring the temperature
Is this just for nerds or do you as angler get something out of knowing how accurate you can measure the temperature? For some, knowing the temperature may change the day from a disaster to success.
Know how to measure your temperature here.
TMC Wingburner
Tired of making wings with too many divertions from time to time? See if the new tool from TMC can help you burn the wings perfectly every time or if you still have to fold and cut like an used hair dresser.

Nothing...
Sometimes trout and grayling sip "nothing" from the surface. You have tried the smallest parachute in your fly box - size 18. What they are taking is much smaller. You look again into your fly box, and right - there is no "Nothing" there.
Fill up your fly box with nothing here

About the Global FlyFisher
Firstly my apologies if the Subject line was a tad intriguing. It was deliberately meant to be purely to get you to read this. In October - sandwiched between some Striped Bass fishing off Montauk and Salmon fishing on one of Lake Ontario's feeder streams - I'm targeting Red Drum from Morehead City on North Carolina's Outer Banks. I've found a seemingly good fly fishing guide and paid the deposit for the charter, as I always do, in American Express US $ Travelers Cheques. And there are absolutely no problems.

Frankfurt/Main - someone interested in sharing my journey
Forums:
GFFsummit 06
I start my long journey in Frankfurt am Main and my way brings me along Kassel, Hannover, Hamburg, Flensburg and so on. If I'm traveling alone or if someone else would axcept it, I would start the journey on Thursday or even Wednesday and take a longer break on my favourite eldorado - aebelo. Sure, I would also be interested in finding a partner, where I am the co-driver. If someone is living along my route, please contact me, may be we find a joint solution. Please answer at Florian.Vogt@areva.com, because I can't use the forum every day. Please don't misuse my mail-adress...

GFF-summit people, A few have cancelled but more have joined. We are now 29 on the list. You guys who cancelled are also in on this mail, just in case... I write to you again to get a status for your participation and how you intend to stay the nights here. As you might remember I asked you to return to me with an indication of whether you would be interested in sharing a room in a hostel with some of the rest of us, and the replies to that answer were fairly few. I have listed them here: [url]http://globalflyfisher.com/about/summit2006/#persons[/url]

Sea Trout in Vejle Fjord

Fly fishing - Fish Better
Hello, I am coming to Vejle in the midle of September. Will have some time for fishing, so I am tying all kind of Fredes, Magnuses and shrimps now. And studying GFF of course ;) But I haven't found any information regarding the fishing spots in Vejle Fjord or surrounging waters... Such a big coast, so little time to try it out. Will have two or three fishing days, so I want to put my fly directly to the fish nose :D Can you drop me some info please? thanks in advance, vytautas http://www.flyfishing.lt

Seatrout gear

Fly fishing - Fish Better
Hi everyone, I have been searching the forum for recent posts on this item but couldn't find it. Sorry if this is again a question which already has been answered. I was wondering who can tell me what a good generic seatrout gear would be. I mean; rod (size and #), fly line, reel, leader and tippet material? I will be most likely be fishing at Fyn. Cheers, Lino

Wasp Year
It has been a hot and dry summer in Scandinavia. Wasps have been a plague in many areas. They have been in every apple, every drink and every house. Some of them may have crossed a stream or river, winding up on the surface before continueing the rush. Some of them never left again.
Read and get stung here.
CDC Mayfly
A small mayfly, which may be (mis)taken for a dun during the sometimes the concentreted hatches on late August and Septemper evenings. It uses a hollow extended body, parachute hackle and wings of cdc stems to float high.
