Hi M. Cooper

You're definitely talking about a different kind of gar. From what I've seen around the Internet, what you need is an 8-9 weight setup, a wire tippet, and some large streamers--sounds just like pike fishing if you ask me, I think the same setup will work.

Interesting trick to

Interesting trick to use your camera while something that you want to take a picture of is on top of it. =)

I really like this sight and I have been trying to find new and fun ways on how to catch Gar. Around the April/ May Gar begin to spawn in Texas. I like to know what size fly rod & reel would I need? Also how heavy of a line and leader that I would need to use as well?

I live in Texas and

I live in Texas and we are known for having the largest Gar. I mean you have to understand everything is bigger in Texas. I mainly catch Alligator and Long-nosed Gar. I use deep sea fishing poles. I thought it may be intersting catch a Gar on a fly rod. Any suggestions and /or techniques to use to try to catch an Alligator Gar that weighs over 50 lbs using a fly rod?

The big horseflies a

The big horseflies are "Tabanos." The tiny biting gnats are "Jejennes." Nothing really poisonous down here. But there's no free lunch.

Geoffrey,

We have no plans for doing stickers or patches with the logo, but it might be an idea to consider. We will keep you posted if we move ahead with anything.

I have a question for you guys out there, my husband and I love to hunt duck and goose, well he has a pair of waders that the boots are terrible on, but the waders themselves are awesome, there ribbed so they don't rip and are super thick. The thing is he wants to replace the whole entire boot on them. How do you think he should go about this, were asking for suggestions, if you have any?

I would rather be able to paint like this than catch a fish like this.

Colin,

Well, our mileage varies, obviously.

I personally had a great time watching The Search, and regarding it being contrived - as in set up or planned ahead - I find it hard to think that most of the incidences could have been planned ahead. I have been on enough of these trips to know that few things work out as planned anyway. And if they were, I will consider it very well done, and just enjoy it as the fiction it then is.

Enjoy it I did, no matter what.

Hy Paul,

a happy new year as well.

About the Fluorcarbon theme. I use it since years in different situations but not in general. The first situation is the use while I fish for seatrouts on the baltic sea. I use about 70-100 cm Tippet, depending on the length of the leader, size of the fly and the wind conditions (shorter if windy, longer if calm). If I have windy conditions, I prefer fluorcarbon because it sinks under the surface and keeps the fly fishing nearly immediately after it touches the surface. I use that if a Polyleader is not needed so far. Selfunderstanding I can regulate the depth the fly should fish by using weighted flies additional. Also I keep on my mind how the waterdepth is in general in that specific situation. Normaly I use diameters 0,26, 0,28 or 0,30 max. I want to pronounce that I don´t use fluorcarbon in that situations because it is nearly irrestistable. Because in my opinion the seatrout is not so shy or spooky that stealthy presentation is needed. A calm behavior on the waters on the other hand is selfunderstanding always sinnfull.

On the rivers for trout, grayling etc. I use fluorcarbon while nymphing, fishing wet flies or little streamers. Diameters are between 0,14 and 0,18-0,20 max. But I guess everybody should find it´s own individual set-up, depending on skills and gear.

For salmon fishing I use it as well up to 0,45 dia. depending on line class and fly size.

In general I used Reverge Grandmax. It has the best knotstrength by far, but is very expensive and just a little stiff. I changed to Egor Fluorcarbon from Guideline. It costs just 50% from the Grandmax, is a little softer and theknotstrength is good as well.

My colleaques, friends and I tried also other stuff but it is clear that especially the cheaper fluorcarbon is always just a gimmick.

I hope, I could help a little.

Excellent pattern and photos! I modify this silghtly on the really small 22's with less hackle and the addition of Cul de Canard for a main wing to keep it floating in rough water. Many Thanks!

Hi everybody,
I am so glad to hear the all appreciation from those of you. Basically, you can check the manufacturer of Harvest fly rod from the rod painting near the hook rest. I think probly you can find the producer is Morewell. If you have great interest in this fly rod, you can search Morewell fly rod. I think you will definitely find it.

Martin, Happy New Ye

Martin, Happy New Year to you and GFF! Glad to see that you finally have the server issue worked out. Interesting (and somewhat depressing ;) ) personal fishing stats you have provided. I've been fishing quite a bit during this winter stay in Denmark and can see the frustration now. 60+ hours since my arrival in late November and only 11 hooked and 4 landed, but it's a progress, much better than last winter. Bill and I fished twice last week and he had his best winter outing by hooking 5 fish. Perhaps we can get another spring Jutland stream trip outing going again. Best regards.

hi, this is the is what i been looking for thank you!!!!!!! i normaly use a finish nail and a pin from a new shirt. this tip will be alot more steady and no more crossed eye's so maybe the streamer will swim straight!! ha-ha. thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AEG-films are getting more and more into a big show: too much "blablabla" and too less good fishing scenes. The story is boring and seems to be arranged. I miss the point of adventure as it was to be seen in the first movie from patagonia. It is still one of the best productions on the market, but thats just because the standard is still quite low...
