rado you could even use a single hook for this fly and you could split the cork in the middle tie a few partridge fibers in tie off put the cork on fire like you did then put the cork on the hook and glue it down

Good Morning Bob;
I have a fly fishing workshop in Patagonia for many years and the amount of fly rods and I buy in USA.
Let me know if you can give me information because I want to make my rods and reels carriers need some direction where to buy bar nickel silver and wood inserts.
I have in my workshop tools to make it as a lathe.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to your prompt response,
Diego.

P.S. Searching the internet I found your address and I liked his work in the reel seat and a lover of natural wood'm also a fan of fishing with Bamboo.

It would be very helpful if hook manufacturers were to further identify specific hooks with their dimensions of gap/length in mms.
For example Mustad 9671-6-6/18, or a 9672-6-6/20, the gap being 6mms, the body length 20mms.
The 2x or 3x long being somewhat redundant today with the wide variety of hooks available. And the odd habit of calling some hooks "wide gap". Surely a wider gap only really means a larger hook size on a smaller body length, such as 1x or 2x short.
Hooks can be confusing with such titles as long shank and short shank, how long is long, and how short is short?

Great articel! The opening paragraphs were especially appropriate as I have been standing in the middle of a large group of 'boiling' mullet this week without a single take!

You've certainly given me something to think about - thanks again!

ok i have a question i live in montana in the usa... and i am going to float the yellowstone river where the shields river dumps into the yellowstone and in that are there are scuplins galor and in the fall when brown trout go up to the shields river to spawn and they eat scuplins and scuplins so i was wondering what patterns you would reckamend

Jason,

Do you mean how loose the knot can be tied or how long the tags can be - or something else?

To address the first two in one: the knot has to be pretty snug and tight. I usually work the loops of backing towards the loop in the fly line while tightening. When the knot is tight, you can trim both lines very close to the knot.

Or did you mean something else?

Yup, first timer, took a couple of goes, but very simple indeed. Just one question how much loose can there be at either on the ends - assuming backing to fly-line

Derek,

A chub is a freshwater fish found in Europe. It's known as Cyprinus cephalus or Leuciscus cephalus in Latin and is a popular quarry in many countries - especially in Eastern Europe. It's found in many streams, grows big (up to almost 2 feet!) and takes flies readily.

You can read more here on GFF as well as on FishBase.org

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.
