Hello Ron,

thank you for the comment

It's a very, very be

It's a very, very beautiful movie, but the "mouse year" thing does not match what one sees.

Absolutely NONE of the fish caught in this movie is a mouse fed trout, and even though they do catch some nice (but out of condition, by NZ standards) mountain rainbows with mice imitation (which is still and amazing feat), there is no huge brown/bow, either caught during the night or during the day, that has the typical "mouse fed" condition.

This is no surprise because the film was no shot during a real "mouse year" ...

So, yes, it is a wonderful movie about NZ fishing, but the interviews about mice have little to do with the fishing which is shown in the movie. The only really large mouse fed trout shown are on old pictures from the early 2000s or late 1990s, which is disapointing considering the story the film pretends to tell. The movie is extra high quality and the pictures are amazing, though.

Another product that works very well for dressing your flyline is armor-all. It is safe for plastics and has uv protection which is important for flyline. Try it

I would like to get the recipe for the fly that caught the flounder- looks easy to tie, and I occasionally target flounder when fishing here in the NE USA

Have you tried this

Have you tried this fly for mullet?

Nice one ...

Thanks for posting my short film on your site. The wonders of YouTube.
Glad you enjoy it. It was fun to make.

Good morning
I have bought the DVD two weeks ago. Good quality at all and a lot to think about. The part about the leader is a bit short.
My recommendation.

I have used a simmil

I have used a simmilar fly just adding a pair of shrimp eyes. Works fine. Simple. Yet it cuts the tying time to a minimum, which works for me also.

I have to depend on

I have to depend on mail order when buying hooks. The problem is the length of the body, in variable "long shank" type hooks one never knows what this is when ordering Today we have much more information on the size of the insects than in the past, most given in mms. Example; if I wanted a hook for a stonefly nymph of 20mms body length, or a dry fly in 12mms, what do I order? I know which are heavy and light wires and the gape size, but not the length.
I think it would be helpful, especially for new fly tiers, if we had some additional spec like a #6/20, the 20 being body length in mms, rather than say 4X, which can be confusing.
Then again what is wide gap hook? Surely it is only a larger size gap, or gape, on a shorter size body length 2 or 3X short, which again is not clear as to the actual body length.
Add to this the variables between hook manufacturers, it would seem time to perhaps review this system and bring it up to the present day?

Congratulations for

Congratulations for your art work! This picture is fantastic.. and if is possible.. can i have this file for my computer desktop?

Hi Brian

The firs

Hi Brian

The first piece is Into The West by Howard Shore and the second piece is The Balcony Scene by Craig Armstrong. Both pieces came off a cd compilation called Classical Chillout Platinum.

This was the first video I've ever shot and edited. I was happy with how it all turned out.

Sufyan,

I use cod or pollack - both saltwater fish with lean, white meat and not very expensive.
Most white fish will do - freshwater or saltwater.

Michael,

You can

Michael,

You can still get prewaxed threads. like the Danville and Monocord. These are widely available and can be found in online shops too. Alternatively you can apply wax yourself, and many types of wax will work as mentioned in this article, which I can see you already found.

Martin

Thanks for the instr

Thanks for the instructions - I'm going to try the microwave, since I have to clean it out anyway from my last experiment with scrambled eggs this morning. I cannot wait to try this out - tight lines.

A bit of help here.

A bit of help here. I used prewaxed thread in the 1970' and 80's and i was fine. Now these new threads I am trying to apply beeswax... any suggestions?
