Peter,

There was no particular post processing done. The original was slightly darker than this version, but the levels through the image are unchanged. I used a digital SLR with an external flash for the image, and they tend to control tricky flash exposures like this a bit better than compact cameras with their small built in flashes. It was shot at a fairly low shutter speed - a 45th of a second - to get the sky right, but apart from that keine Hexerei, nur Behändicheit...

Here is a shot of the same scene with no flash. No clear water.

Martin,

Your picture of Henning night fishing with illuminated sea weed in the foreground is just great! I don't recall having seen anything like this before. Any significant post-processing, like dividing the image and lightening the lower part?

Peter,

As far as I can deduct from the web IMBA is often used in Warcraft and means either imbalanced or immensely badass. We prefer the latter interpretation. Kasper's crashing wave is a great picture.

Alan, it shouldn't matter the brand or tier. All hair bugs are great and anything at your local fly shop will work great to find your kids some nice fish.

Excellent article, I

Excellent article, I've been trying to figure out how to tie some patterns on circle hooks and this gives me the ability to do just that. I prefer to use circle hooks for all my fishing due to the advantage of the hook's tendancy to hook only at the mouth of the fish. I do a lot of catch and release and the circle hook keeps damage to the fish to a minimum. Thanks!

Wow,

Great tutori

Wow,

Great tutorial. I was looking for it for the long time.
Can you please explain how do you looping the hackle in the little more details?

When you putting hackle in the loop do you align hackle tips with hook shank?

Thank you

Hooks

Use any hook between 16 and 10. Just make sure it's sharp and flashy.
It's that simple.

Many thanks, I'm thinking of using light hooks like Kamasan B800S, but I'm not sure if the shape is o.k. I will make a little orange shrimp imitation, do you think it's o.k.

Pete,

You keep crankin' them out!
Good looking baitfish patterns, and enough to fill several boxes too.
You seem well prepared for the coming season.

Salmofiliac,

Salmofiliac,

I agree with Branislav.

Anything small and bright will do. Small is the key here. Use very small (for saltwater at least) and very sharp wet fly hooks in sizes 10 and 12. The garfish will see them, even in these small sizes.

Turn some orange yarn or dubbing on the hook. Maybe secure it with some ribbing - nylon line is fine - and do little more. Some flash if you are really wild.

Garfish aren't picky or hard to find - but they are very hard to hook.
