I have the same question.
Can the rubber band construction that you show be purchased? If not, will you reveal the source for the materials?
It seems to be a real good way to hold the guides por preparation.

Matt,

Good company, maybe?
Chatting maybe?
Having a good time maybe?
Lots of fish maybe?
For the benefit of the photographer, maybe?

Who knows? Some people like to fish alone, some enjoy close company.

Beautiful setting - are there trout in this little stream?

Alex:
I've found that on rods that are suppose to handle two different line weights, they usually perform better with the heavier weight line. I would suggest using a 9 wgt line on it. As far as type of line, that depends on the water your fishing. I have a spare spool for my 5 wgt and 8 wgt. For the 5 wgt, I have a WF floating line and sink tip line.
The 8 wgt spools have a WF floating line and and intermediate sinking line with a clear tip. My most used rod is my 6 wgt and I have three spools for it. WF floating, an intermediate line and a fast sinking depth charge line.
If you're planning on fishing both top water and subsurface and can only afford one line you might consider an intermediate it line. It sinks slowly, and can be used to fish both top water and subsurface flies. If you're using it for top water, you just have to strip it fast enough to stay ahead of the sink rate.
If you have a spare spool load one with WF floating line, and a sink tip line on the other.
Base the sink rate on the depth of water you plan to be fishing.

Rolandas, though I am your friend, but you are crazy. But I like your style

Rolandas style is the rule for all lithuanina flyguy

Tell me please, this fly will work in cold water in winter? What color best flies to use in such circumstances, catching sea trout?

Robert,

The fish were spotted in the ocean south of Copenhagen, and the fly? Well I don't remember do a search for sea trout flies on this site, and you will finds dozens.

that is a really good artikle where s the place with the big swarm of fish? and which fly did you use when you cought that seatrout

Martin:
I fish for them when I go to northern Ontario in mid-July. Come to think of it I've never really thrown any top water, either flies or lures, at them. I've certainly caught them in water where the water was less than 3 feet casting shallow running lures or flies off a sink tip or intermediate line.. Sounds like something to keep me amused this year when I head up.
I've got to print out the tying directions, but I've definitely got to do a couple, maybe in smaller sizes for bass.

This looks awesome. Is it possible to use Chenille instead of dubbing for the body or would that weight it down too much? I'm still kinda new to this and just trying to learn what's good to do and what's not.

Thanks.

Thanks Martin!
We Piterburge to have this opportunity to catch sea trout in the Gulf of Finland, but very few people enjoy this. I do poberezhem two years and not seen in other water flyfihers except for my friends ... We have to develop this area, although this is not easy.
This helps me to your site and the authors of the articles. Thank you for your experience.

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.
