We have a lot of this kind of bamboo poles.
You can pick any ones best for your flyrod in bamboo mountain.

Rob de Graaf: I ordered Feeding lies -dvd directly from www.underwateroz.com to Finland. Just send e-mail to Ozzie and ask about sending to your country.

Feeding lies is nice dvd, thanks to Bob and GFF for review, this is where I found about it.

Top notch photo quality. Put in the fly tackle needed for a day at the boat in the front of the picture and you have a high score. Until then you get 5.

I'll bet this had been your desktop background once. It definitely has the quality. 5.

Despite a good photo technicality, I don't think this is a way to hold any living fish (between your legs and with a hard grip around the torsoe). 2.

Nice colors. Put some action in form of an angler into the photo and you have a topscore. Untill then enjoy your 4.

Since these are dead fish I don't mind you placing them on the sun warmed sand. You get 5 for going down there and getting close.

Hey Bob!

Nice trick, which I suspect arised when you were tying the smaller sizes? I vert rarely fish this fly, but I enjoy tying it, and always have 1 or 2 in the box. For size 12 and smaller, I've always used Calf Body Hair, which is much finer than tail, but still produces more bulk than goose.

Hi Jeff

Since Kasper came things have changes slightly. You don't need a passport to get a Licence but you will need to purchase a temporary ten day Tuscany licence for €11and then will need to purchase a TWT Club membership for €20 which lasts the whole year and a day ticket which costs €10/day. Closed on Wednesdays.For now it isn't necessary to book but this may be the case in 2007.

NB! The TWT will close from 31/12/2006 until 30/05/2007.

E-mail me if you need further help.

regards

I'm in the Navy and will be going there soon. Did you have to have a passport to get a fishing
license and do they have one, two and three day permits? I can't wait to fish there, I am so glad they enjoy fly fishing like we do.

This is the best DVD on fly fishing ever. I fish all the time most of the places these guys fished so it wasn't sure about a DVD on my place, but these guys kept my adrenaline pumping right from the start. I happened to meet them at a show in Washington and they are great people as well as film makers. Way to go Trout Bums!

Some really good aspects are found here, technically as well as creatively. However, the zebra-panties look ackward in the situation or maybe that was your intention. I'm not too fond either of the concept of an almost nude angler, well had it been Cathy Beck I might actually have added a couple of scores to my 4.

The only thing that keeps this photo from topscoring, is that the fish is hidden under too much water splash. 5.

Nice sharp colors w/ a matching background.

Be careful with the horisont (it's supposed to be well, horisontal)

The line sticking out of the mouth suggests a deep swallowed fly.

You get a 3, kid!

This sounds great. Thanks for a really interesting article.

You guys are so lucky to have such a fish. In a book of freshwater fishes I found the fish listed as 'Rapfen' (latin name Aspius aspius) it looks like a flyfisher's dream-fish. Hey! and no teeth to bite you with either! I'd like to try pike, but those teeth scare me!

Thanks again.
Regards,
Les

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
