Hey guys and gals,
We hope to be with you again this year - indeed, due to a generous offer, we hope to make it a longer stay in Denmark this year. :D
Time is booked in the diary, even though I don't know the exact date yet. We are really looking forward to seeing friends old and new.
Regards,
Les and Nan Austin
WOW! When you tie your head how many "bunchs" do you tie on for this size hook. Its really a beautiful streamer.
I'm just learning to make a muddler and can sure appreciate this one.
Tom
Well this was a BIG help.Tied my first and theres a lot of room for improvement but by golly I'll fish it! Your pics and instruction really cleared up some things. Practice make perfect.
Tom
Good looking fly!
No offense intended at all but I have to wonder if those white wings are even necessary. It appears as though they are not visible to an underwater view. Nonetheless I plan on fishing them for bluegill here locally.
TKS Martin...like you, i do like to overpower my rod.
My guess is that if the long belly has a belly 40 to 50% longer than a usual WF
it means you will have serious problems loading a rod with 9 meters line off the rod tip.
In softer tip rods that would be good with short casts and presentation will work almost like a double tapper would.
But with harder rod tips, i think it would be a bit difficult to load the rod for a shoot cast. wouldn' it ?!?!
Well that means that i should be open again now then!
I think that more countries should have closed season during the spawning. The swedish arcipelago could win a lot from it.
It's midsummer feast in sweden now and the fishing is running slow due to high temperatures but im going out to do some night fishing next week.
Thank you very much Martin .....
Greetings from Argentina
Cristian.

Oh if you wanna know where i was this one should do the trick :lol: the land/hills is sweden. It was taken at sunrise with a little north-eastern wind and the water was cristal clear. But i didn't see any action that morning, evenings were better for me.
Well, ... extremely difficult to guess the spot you fished, thereôs only the sea and the sun... It could have been anywhere. But good pics, though.
The "soup" was pretty muddy when I got there, visibility less than 30 cm... :?
srry m8 it works fine now. i forgot i changed some things for a test i had for my other website.
My dear boy, for anyone to start & finish such a fly & get copliments from one of my favorate fly
tyers, Bryant Freeman, & the couple little minor mistakes that were made are so easily fixed.
So, let's shorten the thread back on the eye a little, put another plus the one that is here in this
picture side by side. I know you have talent, show me your next version of the same fly.

...cannot access the page
I caught mine with orange patterns and you could try further up north of hornbaek. See my previous posting.

I have an East Branch 7' 3wt 3 piece rod that I use for brook trout in the Shenandoah National Park, a great little brook trout rod. Unfortunately I beleive that East Branch Rod Co. has gone out of business.
Blatt,
I like overlining my own rods a bit (personal taste), but apart from that recommend beginners to do the same because they rarely have a full belly out when blind casting, and because of this only rarely load the rod fully.
Whether to overline in particular when using a longbelly line...? I honestly can't answer you there. Personally I would probably do it, but again, that's how I prefer it.
Martin
Many guesses here...When using a long belly fly line, would it be a good idea to overline the rod?
Thanks.
Arrived at 4 a.m., probably too late as the sun was just about to rise. Zero trip, but a lovely morning, though.
...glad you were lucky to hook some fish. Thereôs many regular Gilleleje visitors trying luck for days without even seeing a single splash!
Iôll check the beach tomorrow, anyone want to join? :lol:
Hmmm, maybe this green one may also work fine for the mullets!?
… 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.
