This is the most del

This is the most delightful reel/project in terms of fly fishing I have seen in years.
Very well done. Kudos to you.

this is amazing

Thorsten,

No reas

Thorsten,

No reason to be sorry...

We realize that Brian Størup is also a skilled fly tier and that he ties on the Pro Tube system, but we haven't been able to find any records of a Pet Blue fly from his hand... Where can we find a description or picture of his fly?

And as we have said many times before: it's really difficult to come up with something truly original these days, and with all due respect for Nils (and Brian), putting some dubbing, a rabbit strip, a hackle and some jungle cock on a tube is not deeply original. Adding a rear cone does make a little difference, but apart from that only the colors sometimes separate patterns. It's very difficult to tie something that doesn't look like something that someone else has tied before.

We will keep on crediting Nils for the fly. He is quite the creative fly tier, and doesn't need to borrow from others.

Lilly,

Chickens c

Lilly,

Chickens can become as tame as dogs... almost! They can learn to come when you call, can become used to getting lifted and even petted. Whether they enjoy it or not is another question, but lots of kids have had fun with chickens as "semi-pets".

The rest of us who have had them for feather and meat will not get them quite as tame, but my chickens were mostly a bit difficult to catch, but calm once you held them.

How can you get a be

How can you get a better illustrative picture than this.

great idea...i also

great idea...i also plink on the old geetar !

Oh and tippet rings I use them all the time..tapered leader is used untill its end is getting a bit short from changing/loosing flies and then a tippet ring is added, after that you can fish the same leader with different tippet strengths till you go blue in the face..I use around about 3 leaders a year now instead of 3 a day ! lol

teo you are missing

teo you are missing the whole point..most shop sold stuff here in europe is too soft...making your own is a very viable idea, even more so if done as a group and shared..

Thanks for the info fellas..off to find some bow resin!

Thanks, Martin !

Comment to Hook Reference

It is a cool little hook Barry. I wish I had some bigger sizes.

Kody,

Nice fly! It looks like it could crawl away any minute. Good job!

Hej Thomas

Thanks

Hej Thomas

Thanks for the nice words!

The reason why I use monofilament thread, I guess its just a habit from when I did not know how to make a small head. I must admit that it is more difficult when securing. But there are some good sides of using it. Smaller heads, its so thin you can fit it in between materials without it being visible and thereby fix them better, strong surface but I also use a normal thread. So like I started, its just a habit from here.

Good luck with the Raven NJ! I just made some small ones with a blue Sonic Disc on and they are pretty cool.

Hi Nils,

Hi Nils,

This is a nice fly which I will definitely try this season in the Norwegian rivers. I have used the Pro Tube system a lot myself during the last tying-season and I really like it.

Just a question, what is the reason for using Monofilament as tying thread? I have the experience that this can be quite slippery stuff but since you are using it what is the advantage and how are you securing the head in the end... are you using normal head cement or maybe super glue etc with the Mono?

Thomas

Looks like you've cr

Looks like you've created a niche masterwork. Like one of your featured fishers in the trailer said....people that don't fish don't get it.....maybe the film can help the fly fishing impaired.

My all time favorite

My all time favorite way to catch trout. But the best way is by using 3 lb. Test and instead of using a swivel use Caroline Keepers (clear plastic crimp stops) and use the same main line attached to the fly. Only one knot. Get the smallest clear sliding bubble and fill just half with water. Pinch down the barb and you will do great.

This is a great site

This is a great site But all of the shows keep starting and stoping. No continus play.
What can I do to solve this problem. Thanks, Rusty.

Try the Cabelas Gore

Try the Cabelas Goretex. I have two, have fished Iceland and British Columbia in constant rain in them, and never had a leak. Just wish they had a pocket on the back for extra stuff. They do have the neoprene half-gloves that you don't like, but you don't have to usr them. And I think they work OK. Look at LL Bean wading jackets too. They have graet products and stand behind them.

a. markowitz,

There was an error in the file naming of the images. It's been corrected now, and all images should show as they are supposed to.

Not surprising to see that big peacock. This pattern is ideal for those. I'm going to feed it to our smaller peacocks in Florida.
