Loved the look of this fly and also the simplicity.....I tied a few up and tested them out on the Hampshire (UK) coast.....It killed the school bass down there, I lost count of how many I caught over the week I was down....It also fishes inverted as intended.
There's a pic below of said fly lodged in a schoolie :D
Cheers Dave

Hi,

I've been a cloudveil fan and just purchased a pair of (2009) 8X waders from this site: http://www.levelninesports.com/Cloudveil-Apparel - Cloudveil seems to be going through some kind of restructuring meaning their business is somewhat questionable. Their stuff is really good quality though but would be outside of the range I'd be willing to pay if it were not on sale.

Gary - had similar luck until I met a veteran fisherman who helped me out. Here's my $.02: You don't need absolutely need the tube pearl - I've never used one - just thread through so that your swivel is at the larger end of the bubble tube, that way, it doesn't dislodge the tube and fill the bubble with more water than you started. Gauge the size swivel you'll need against this larger end to make sure it doesn't get sucked inside. Since the swivel is 6-9' away from the fly, you don't need a 'stealth-swivel', just large enough to not get sucked into the tube. Keep the fly on the water if you like, or hold it in your hand (my method), before casting - putting slight pressure on the line as it goes out will accomplish the same thing: that your fly lands out in front of the bubble. When fishing upstream, cast a slight diagonal rather than directly into the current. Most importantly, make sure your trigger-finger on the line, and the release of line from spool, won't get fouled by a sudden-backlash that happens when the bail comes down, or line gets wrapped around something else. Good luck, good fishing, and good day.

Hi All
I got reply from Dell Kauss who delt with this problem in SA USA. He said he took a look at the line and didn't find anything wrong. So basically there's no progres. I asked him to send the item back to me cause I going to put my old greys on risk and find out in practice whats up. To be continued...
Regards
Michal

Great fly. Where did you got that rubber legs from? I was looking for them on the internet, but found nothing so far.

Hello friends,
I need some help from Danish members.
We (me and one friend) are going to spend some time in Denmark. We are going to work and/or study there. Situation in Lithuania is not the best for non qualified people and because of that we decided to emigrate for some time.
I would like to ask about fishing gear. I will pick my 6/7wt Catapult for seatrout fishing and what rods do I need more? Double handers/light single handers? Also about the flies. I think i need mudlers/buggers/freds/sand eels and what more? :)
Thank you for information.

P.S. If there is someone who knows a work for 2 persons or could help with employment information please contact with me :)

What a great looking shrimp! But.. I've been searching the web for the clear flexi legs but I can't seem to find them. Anyone know where to get them? Thanx!

Kasper, Kern,

very interesting pattern, nice pictures, and "something to do" until September. And the way to the perfect shrimp has one more chapter. Thanks for sharing.

Rgds,
Ole

Hi Martin, another tip to make the frame last longer is to treat it with clear Tectyl, especially apply it on the inside of the frame tubes! Note: I have a new emailadress.
Lots of fun,
Ted

Hey there...i live in northern ireland and have found it very difficult to find anywhere to fix the felt on my waders (which stinks) which is peeling off..after numerous calls i found a replacement kit on ebay which i am now waiting to be delivered...After all the searching i have also heard that evo stik wet grab which you can get from B&Q for around £8 is supposed to work very well too....going to try the replacement kit first to see how it works...so fingers crossed this works...
Great article!!!
Thanks Aaron

Good article, I have done some in chartreuse and some in red, colour the epoxy, roll the nylon in it, wait until dry then put
a very small dab of black on the very end of the nylon, voila!! you have an eye with a pupil, and they look good especially
on bonefish flies. Neil.

The GFF money box

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.
