Greenwood Lake is no

Greenwood Lake is not one of the finger lakes. Greenwood Lake crosses the border of New Jersey and New York

On the summit you've shown me your arsenal of self build rods and for me that was an inspiratoin of making my own rod some day. So that day is near! Coming week i'll be starting with my own project at my local fly-fishing shop which is giving a course on how to make your own rod. With this background information I won't be completely ignorent. Thanks a lot Jan-Ole!!

Hi Martin,

Hi Martin,
Never mind , at least you got out .
That as you know , is a bonus .
Happy New Year ,
My Friend .

Paul.

I would like to star

I would like to start a hobby of building my own fly rods, can you give me some adv where to purchase equipment, rods etc. and even how to get started ? Thank you

these will catch a n

these will catch a nice fish within a few casts on the right river so give it a try but you won't catch me fishin like that!

What a shot!!!

Great article. It's

Great article. It's like Russian salmon fishing except of good roads.

i have to agree thes

i have to agree these flies remind me of when i started tying them myself. but as my wife says, a fish don't know from ugly. as long as it works who are we to judge. we are trying to catch the fish not impress them with our tying ability.

Sick of the hooks tangling

If you are sick of the hooks tangling just cut the bend of the front hook off and sand the burrs(Dremel tools rock). Us steelhead guys in the states use a similar fly called an articulated leach( and you rarely miss a fish with the back hook).

Awesome website full

Awesome website full of information and a good source of inspiration to go out and catch yellow fish.

In Tennessee (where

In Tennessee (where i live) soft hackles are getting pretty popular, and i've been successful with them. Every time i'm at my vise, i end up tying some. thanks for the patterns.

EXELLENT FLY!, CAUGH

EXELLENT FLY!, CAUGHT MANY CHUB AND BASS, THANKS GREAT PATTERN :))

because of the rise

because of the rise on bird skin prices, if my dad finds a dead, fresh bird, He brings it home and I get to keep the feathers. It saves me and him some money.

hey Masi, you tie it the way

hey Masi, you tie it the way you want! Your version looks good enough for me and I will give it a go here in Scotland this summer. Tight lines.

Hi. No samlon in that river.

Hi AndrÃÂ©, yes Iceland has

Hi AndrÃÂ©, yes Iceland has a lot of gems, some well hidden and remote and often vulnerable to too much fishing pressure (I have seen some sad examples).

The reason for asking about the first char location, is that in this short clip it reminded me a lot of a river, famous for salmon fishing in it's valley, that I have fished a few times in the highland (although it's much too long since I've been there).

Kenny,

I'm afraid

Kenny,

I'm afraid we have no picture-by-picture instructions for this shrimp. Such series require a lot of work, and we didn't have the time to do them for this pattern. You wll have to do with the ones you see on the page and what you can read from the instructions.

Unless someone else has the time to tie and take pictures of course. We would be more than pleased to publish them...

Martin

need more help on th

need more help on this fly. can you send me some picture by picture of tying this fly. I would appreciate it cause your fly is the closest to the natural ones over here in Hawaii.

I' ll be looking for

I' ll be looking forward to learning more from you as this should help me to better see and learn where I am going wrong on some patterns.

Where does it say it

Where does it say it should by released? :)))

Thanks, guys. Jepp, we've got

Thanks, guys. Jepp, we've got some very fine footage from both up in the highlands and down in the small river with the big browns, and other different locations on our trips. And that's all because of the two cameramen.

The first char location on the trailer must be one of the worlds best places for char.

Here's a photo from a fantastic brown trout river aswell.
Iceland has some hidden secrets that is nothing but amazing when it comes to trout and char. I've never been enjoying a film like this before - as the fisherman.

I haven't been to Guyana for

I haven't been to Guyana for a couple of years, but I did live there for several years before that and had Peacock Bass to 8lb. Locally they are known as Lukanani. The biggest problem fishing for Lukanani is that they are a very popular food fish and heavily fished for. The result is that they are very thin on the ground in accessible areas. However, if you get off the beaten track they can be abundant. If you can afford it then I'd recommend trying Karanambo Ranch in the Rupununi; there are also Arawana and Arapaima here. However, you'd need to visit in the dry season as in the wet season the rivers flood outside their banks and the fish are widely disperssed and hard to find. There are lots of other fish worth fishing for, including Piranha, Severum and South American Trout (Brycon sp.). The latter are a lot of fun as they do behave rather like trout and can be taken on dry fly. You can also fish for aquarium fish like Angel fish. The variety of fish is unreal and you just never know what will turn up! Wherever you go you shold have a lot of fun, but be aware that Guyana is not really geared up for tourists like Costa Rica. Thus there are often few tourist facilities and it can be a dangerous place.

Please, no submitted

Please, no submitted photos like this!!!! This is not form to hold a fish!!! This fish shouldn`t return to the water!!!! Historically, the fisherman hold the fishes in this form in photos of long years ago!!!!

Nice footage AndrÃÂ©, looks like you guys had a lot of fun up there.
This sure brought back a lot of good memories, can't wait to see the whole film.

Hard to come up with reasons not to move back...
