I have used Jans terrestrial its a very very good pattern fun to fish with and there is nothing to beat this type of pattern

Is this a "photoshop

Is this a "photoshopfish" :-) The mouth/ eye relationship as well as the tail area say sea run trout but the very few spots at the body as well as at the gills say salmon.

Maybe, a hybrid, or more likely a salmon escaped from a coastal fish farm.

this is the best gui

this is the best guidance for making shooting heads i have found.

Hey Keld,
That's so

Hey Keld,

I like your explanation,

I like your explanation, Carlos. Someday, if you come to Washington, DC, we can go to a football game and then catch some Smallmouths. Good luck.

That is one of the reasons why I tie flies instead of watching football on TV. I was a kind of Hooligan watching those matches on TV, but some day, years ago, I almost broke my TV's screen with a beer can I throwed to the referee on a penalty. I was close to be the first "Barra Brava" (Hooligan) in Colombia! So I decided to quit football of my life.

No, seriously, the attitude and the mental state of colombian football players made me change my predilections for the the national football team of Uzbekistan! If they were fishermen, they were fishing with dynamite or poisoning rivers...

If you look closely

If you look closely you can see a fish fin in the middle of the photo. Look closely.

I buy mine from Lakeland - They have a web-site.

After watching Columbia

After watching Columbia-Argentina in the Copa America last night I can see why you need something to laugh about. Not that the US will do any better.

hmmmm solved my prob

hmmmm solved my problem with tying them. I was tying the deer hair the oposite direction. Big help.

I work as a electric

I work as a electrical contractor and the information you have printed here is wrong and could be dangerous! Dimmers are made to be used on incondecent lamps and not for motor loads. If you want to make what you are suggesting here, you must use a fan speed control which is a reostat to slow down a motor. An incondecent dimmer could overheat and burn up if used on a motor load!

The publisher's link in the fact box above will point you to a place to purchase a copy.

THANKS!

Carlos,

Just wanted to thank you for your very nice comment. You yourself along with hundreds - if not thousands - of other people help us make this site an exiting experience.

We may be the minds behind the scenes, but was it not for visitors like you, it wouldn't be half as much fun.

Thanks

A horisontal horison

A horisontal horisont and it'd been a great photo for a NOISIA fly rod ad.

Bob,

How can we

Bob,

How can we get a copy of this book? I cannot find it on Amazon.

Thanks

Yep

Hi Kai,

By all means...Tie me one. I'll try it.
I will be using a very simple tried and tested fly at the summit which I am sure will do me proud!

The waters very "ripley".

Nice yellow. I have

Nice yellow. I have been spending the last 3 seasons cathing them on fly just above the Vic Falls. Problem to getting to the bigger fish is fishing a river this size and not becoming part of the food chain yourself. Its the size of the water that is also hard to fish effectively but well done on a good one.

Thanks Donald,

I'm going to tie your minimalist fly to try it this weekend, I'll tell you what happens here!

No Ripley,

not a Golden Retriever!
The archetype is the Beast of Baskerville - see and feel it in aktion.

I have already tied one for Henning, did you want a special one for your own?

Kind regards

Kai

?

Looks like a golden retreiver tied of with the propeller from the Titanic - but just polished up?

Rip :D

Special fly Mod. Henning

Hi Henning,

I have already tied the pictured one for you.
Please, read the text about the field studies again.
Believe me, you are one of the most important person in my project! :shock:

By the way, can you tell me what your top speed is? 8)

Are you out for seatrouts this weekend?

Kai

Wow

Great picture Kai.
What fly did you catch it on?! :D

Really funny picture. One worthy of a :wink:

The heat is on...
