I will be testing the waters the weeks up to the event. I will make sure there's nothing left this time.

It seems like we have a similar plan this year.

All the fish cages are in place for this year.
Most have an anti-Kai attachment on. It won't matter what fly he uses...

this would have been great with photos attached of a steadily dissecting wing/cape/whole skin as each feather comes away.

[quote:aba5fde43e="vanuz"]... cannot wait to see Kai´s flybox this year. One can never guess what kind of a catchy pattern this man is going to use :lol:

Nevertheless, pls have a spare one for me Kai.

P.S. It brings bad luck if you don´t share your secret fly with Vanuz.[/quote:aba5fde43e]

Hi Vanuz,

this year a bit of trouble and a relocation kept my invention skills low.
So I'm coming up with no real new fly - put my "old" terror fly a trouser on and
hope to catch something on it.

I'll tie a bunch of it for the summit and of course there is shurely always one for you in the box!

Kai

Hi Paul,

nice picture of you (looks like a bit as a seatrout).
I think that's because you are to often in Denmark.

But I've got a better one of you!

When the summit starts, as you know, we are already relocated in the Sauerland and could drive together all the way to Denmark.

What do you think?

Regards

Kai

Hi Paul,

I am quite flexible, but would like to leave as early as possible on friday..... what time did you have in mind ?

Hi Ruan,

When are you planning on making your drive?

Paul

It looks like I can finally make it to a GFF summit - and am REALLY looking forward to it...

I am planning to drive from Leverkusen, Germany.....and want to check if anyone wants to car- pool...

Unti then...

Hi Martin,

Do you know of anyone who sells the Oracle bottle tubes on the web as I struggle to find them in the UK?

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Hi Martin,
Just bought myself a VISION Gillie this spring, not a 100 % fit to your needs, but it's light and no-nonsense, a close match in my opinion.

I spent some years in Esboenderup and some time at the shores up north. Try the Lighthouse at Gilleleje. You can park at the restaurant. Seatrout can be triggy this time of the year, but my best results came after sunset and using siluet flies. Seatrout are rare, but the Codfish are plenty.
Have fun
Tight lines!

Heres another little known fact my father Robert Kenly has many years of apoxy and fiberglass experience. I remember he built a sail boat in our garage, the "All Girl III" in the late '70's. Designed, crafted and named in honor of his three daughters. Sadly, the "All Girl III" never made it to water, but built with his own hands and covered with, what seemed to an eight year old girl a foreign substance. The boat survived harsh weather year after year in our back yard and outlasted many of the cars we bought through the years. Trust my fathers apoxy methods and tips they will absolutely serve you well.

Dear Dad,
How proud I was to find this on the internet, your story, your flies, what you've been up to lately. The Salbot Fly ..It's beautiful. I am his daughter, Helen , and my father is a genius. Always has been with so many talents. Believe it or not he wanted to be a history teacher. My father tied a fly just for me and framed it, where it sits on my wall to this day and is a conversation piece of friends who come to my home. The Pattern was Davy's Prawn with a Partridge hook , size 1/0. I love you dad, you look wonderful.

So got up this morning, bright and early at 03:00, beautiful day, lovely sunrise, - but still no sea trout… I have now been fishing morning and evening, and still no catch, arghhhhhh.
Are water temperature to high (15 degrees Celsius)?

Regards
Peter

Hi, I don't quite underrstand where that loop comes from. Is it a seperate piece of monofilament? Sorry, I just cant tell from the pics. Thank you in advance. Colin

Hi there,

Very good to hear that Martin is going to organize another summit.
And I feel relieved that the time of the summit fits perfectly in my time schedule.
Therefore I say thank you Martin and I look eagerly forward to meet all the summit friends like the years before.

Hope I see you all in September

Kai

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

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.
