First article that told a beginner like me how to set up my fly rod. Used simple terms and gave good instructions. Thank you.

And with the water temp at a brisk 42 F and the air temp 50, I just had to go back today and try for something on the bottom. Although it is only a two acre pond there have been eight pound Largemouth Bass taken there. I brought alomg a few tiny crawfish imitations that I often take big Bluegills with and sometimes a small bass. In the cold water you simply crawl them along. I picked up three bass, the bigger one is hopefully attached to this post. It was fun on a 6X leader on that tiny rod.

Good to hear. Nobody else had obviously tried these rods. Personally I like the short and light rods, but unfortunately I have no bluegills to go try such a rod on. Wish I had, but the access to convenient small water/small fish is not good where I live.

Let me answer my question for you. They are fine rods. I have been catching big Bluegills with mine all afternoon and it casts quite well. Has a nice feel to it and when I get the proper line on there I am sure that it will feel even better. The lightest I had was a four. It is going to be worthy of the freestone streams of the mid-Atlantic hills.

Ok Martin,
no problem.
I'll give it a try.
Let's see if it works

Hans,

Could I suggest that you added pictures of your patterns when you post them here? Pure links to your own site don't really add much value.. no offense meant. I really enjoy your site, but we usually prefer content rather than links - as we have often said.

hoppy,

hoppy,

I´ve tried to re-create the colour too, and this is the closest I`ve come. It`s "homeblended dubbing". It turns "smokey/transparent" when wet, with the brown and orange bits showing. Tie an "aura-shrimp", or similar "dubbing-on-a-hook-pattern" with this, and add a shellback and eyes, instead of risking to glue yourself to the table :wink: Pm me if you want some to try.

When dry,

RD, i agree totally ugly - but the body is a close as i have come to the real creature featured in the on the Honey Shrimp page.

It needs some tweaking, i like the rubber legs idea, i will also be shortening the eyes.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we might not catch fish in Fyn, but i'll have a big box of flies!!
