Nice fly, may be very usefull in the dutch coastal system for seebass and other fish.. but I will give it a go in the Namsen river, Norway, next month. Any results for this fly more upstream, in the rivers with migrating salmon?

Sorry to say we do not have a version for the Palm Pilot and there are no plans for making a PP version. I'm proficient at Excel (which LC is created within) and not the Palm OS platform.

awsome ideas, im just curious though as what u use to finish your reel seats. all i have is conversion varnish. im sure it wont stand up to the elements. i have a rod that i want to put together, but im stuck on the reel seat, can you help me out?

As a keen flytier myself , I always think that when exposing both bars on pheasent tippets tails that the tail looks too long , but as I can see you compensate the body length which tends to bring the tail further down the shank and makes it look more acceptable , I also like your skills when combining three different wing slips as one , trully impressed and overall they are dressed very neat and tidy ......jim

Thank you for an exc

Thank you for an excellent resource. I do have one technical complaint, though. It would be very helpful to us small-screen users if you were to place your cursor at D12 rather than I14 before you protected and saved the spreadsheet. That would enable a much more useful and less confusing view when using the "freeze panes" feature. Thanks, Ron.

Hi Peter,

thanks for you're reaction. I have got my conviedence back :D Do you have also fished that region of Denmark?

Tight Lines,

Bjorn

Hi Bjorn,

The Magnus and ragworms will be perfect :wink: Even though the temperatures have been pretty strange this winter/spring, the flies remain the same. Some might think the ragworm patterns are only a "spring-thing", but they work excellent all year round :D

Tight lines!

Cheers,

Hi Rolandas,

very nice article which came right in time! Relocated temporarily to Moscow, maybe I will come back to you in regard of few more details to plan my own trip to that region. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

[quote:a4d85ff4f5="Morenofly"]Very nice! I'm going to tie a couple as soon as possible. Then I'll send you a dressing that works very well on both trout as well as grayling. I use a couple of versions and a friend recently modified my dressing and called it the Macedonian Fly. I'll ask Kasper to publish them as soon as possible.

Returning to your fly, have you tried the HCM in other colour variations?

Cheers[/quote:a4d85ff4f5]

Hi Moreno,

I look forward to seeing and tying your pattern. I have tied the HCM in olive, brown, dun plus a couple of other colours and they all work well. Simply match the colour to whatever mayfly, caddis or midge you are trying to imitate. If no hatch is in progress then I tend to use black as a general searching pattern.

Rgds,
