OK, I am addressing to Martin - where can I get one?

Of course its a nice

Of course its a nice gadget, but a needle and a wooden handle is all you need.
Recommendations: use ''silk-dub'' as dubbing material and ''colle photo'' as glue.

Excellent action pho

Excellent action photograph! I do not even mind the noisy effect. Just a tiny comment I´d make concerning the line crossing the anglers face...however, the overall impression is Global class for me.

All paid up now from Devon, Martin.

See you soon.

Small. small shrimp, sand hopper, scud naturals, size 12, 10, 8. Browns, greys and dull greens.
The fish are picky with full stomachs full of shrimp and sand hoppers.

Single hooks!!!

Fish?

The fish are here.
Remember GFF '07?

So far, conditions are better and the last 3 weeks have seen great results.

I had to put out new cages of fish and hire 3 new divers to move the fish around.

Well, I am sad there will be no tee shirts, but as long as Ripley's promise that the fish are in place holds good, it will be a wonderful event again. Bring it on!
Les :) See you all soon

These flies are one

These flies are one of the deadliest you can use i love fishing Diawl Bachs, you always feel confident using these patterns

Received, settled...

Hi Lino.

Hi Lino.

I have been using the Loop CLW 5eight for three years now almost without problems. The only problem I have with it is that the handle has corroded a bit, which means that the handle doesn't run as smooth as it could when reeling in line. That however, is probably due to me not having rinsed it properly. I can only recommend the reel. Luckily I can say that it also handles large fish very well. :wink:

How do I obtain permission to do so?

t-shirt

Summiters, I have been waiting for some feedback regarding t-shirts for weeks but I haven´t had any response at all. Not sure about Martin. Then I guessed no-one was interested.

....nice you have brought it up, but unfortunatelly, it´s too late now and I won´t be able to arrange for t´s this year. :oops:

Someone else may have appropriate resources for a reasonable price.

Wakie, wakie :D , it is about time!

Hi all,

I have po

Hi all,

I have posted a potential T-Shirt design in the forum page for the Summit 2008 (page 2) - just in case we have one made!

It was designed in MS Paint so it's about as basic as it gets, but I think you'll get the idea!

See you at the summit.

Re: Logo

Hi All,

Regarding Ripleys suggestion:

[quote:2598b58e99="DistantStreams"]Wouldn't the logo look better aligned on the left side of the chest, maybe even centered?[/quote:2598b58e99]

Here are two more "absolutely amateur" designs for the front of the T-Shirt, with the middle design being the back of the T-Shirt.

Enjoy :D

T-Shirt Logo

Hi Ripley,

I was actually thinking that the logo would look better on the left hand side of the chest after I had posted the pic, also that is where most of the team logo's are placed, (On the heart!) :idea:

Don't know if anyone will try and make it, it was just a quick idea that popped into my head whilst bored at work :)

I will buy one if somebody has it made though...... no pressure anyone! :wink:

Regards
Jonathan

Logo

Hi Jonathan,

Wouldn't the logo look better aligned on the left side of the chest, maybe even centered?

Nice a simple.

Just for information...The fish are gathering. I won't give sizes and numbers but they are arriving. No disappointment here.

See you all soon.

Regards
Ripley

Thanks Jonathan, but no problems with that.

If anybody wants to do anything here, I can provide a high rez logo. Let me know here or per email.

Potential T-Shirt Design

Hi all,

Well I was bored at work and after reading the posts under the Summit 2008 article I came up with a basic design for the Summit 2008 T-Shirt, in case it is decided to create some. It was designed in MS Paint so please forgive the absolute lack of skill involved! :lol:

I didn't want to use any logo's from the website as to not infringe on copyright, but I think/hope you'll get the idea!

Hope the image works!

See you all at the Summit
