Hey....Great info. Thank you so much brother. I was wondering, how do you decide what size backing to use with a 20lb weight leader for saltwater bass derby limitations by a rules committee? The rod and reel are 9/10 w and using Cortland Crystal PE Saltwater fly line WF-10-F.
Regards...

Mike,
It seems that there's no representation for Scierra in the US or Canada. I used to have good contacts in the company, but all the people I used to know there quit and are somewhere else now. Scierra can be found in many online shops, and some advertise world wide shipping and reasonable prices in Canadian dollars like Atkins Angling.

Congratulations !
I started flyflishing here in south Brazil some 14 years ago.
With the little resources we have here , all I had was the help of some friends and the internet.
GFF was one my first teachers.
Thanks !

Matt I just added you to my book marks and look forward to seeing you on my Mac again. I am a retired art teacher and a fly fisher and fly tying teacher for the last 35 years. I had 33 years of students and some of them were like you. I very much enjoyed finding your site and will visit it again. Henry (Sun Prairie Wis.) P S We have good Hex fishing here.
Thanks Martin! I've been trying to contact the Scierra folks and am having trouble. Do you know if their PF rods are sold to Canada or the US. Google doesn't seem to find any. Have you seen the Able Super( in a pike finish yet? I can photos if you'd like.
After be abscent from fly fishing and tying for a number of year due to work comitments i am back in the game so to speak............this article was exactly what i was looking for.
Just a tip, if you go and get a yarn or wool funnel, the ones that taper. Small at the top big at the bottom, pop that over the chicken head before you chop its head off it helps not to get the feathers matted with blood

Do you have a chart on how to measure the hooks for fly tying because if you do could please send me one or let me know what they cause that I may order one.
Do Snooth Hounds move south to over winter as the sea remperature drops around the North sea? How big do the Hounds grow as a friend of mine caught a fifteen pounder.
I've built a a few rods, without any problems until my last one. When coating the thread, only the section above the handle and the first eyelet actually hardened. The remaining guides are still tacky. I'm not sure if my mixture wasn't exactly 50/50, or if I contaminated my coating. Any suggestions on how to repair the rod? Thanks.
Mike,
The Danish fly fishing gear manufacturer Scierra makes their pike rods with this cutout.

Where did your ever get a pike cut-out reel seat? That is beautiful!
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
