Flyaddict,
I have been fishing smaller rivers a couple of times, and dearly prefer a light rod for the purpose. My favorite is a 12'6" for an 8-9 weight line. That is easy to cast all day and usually sufficient for the flies you need (often small doubles and low water flies) and will usually be adequate for figthing the fish you may typically catch in these smaller waters.

Carlisleny,
We would love to know about bugs on the site. I have recently change some of the programs that runs the site, and I know that I have introduced some errors. Any help in finding them is greatly appreciated.

Carlisleny,
It has always been a good rule to follow: fish before you wade.
I have spooked many a fish by trotting into the water in a stream or even in the ocean. I have also made a habit of casting along the bank once in a while, and more than once that has give the fish of the day.

This picture should be framed. I think it's a lot better than an average (3.8).
Thanks so much for getting it up and going again, Where should we report bugs such as this in the future? This site is really a blessing to me as I am able to get on the rivers again and develop a few new techniques.
I recently encountered an unexpectedly rich caddis hatch on, of all things, a Southern California stream(!). First place I though of for a suggested pattern was your site. Thanks for being so clever and reliabe!

Martin will probably be waiting a long time for someone to make what he wants. He needs to be aggresive in his persute of good gear and talk to the people that can make it for him. It may not be practical for him to start his own business, but he may be able to connect with an existing one. He has thought a lot about gear design and may consider working in the field. Like I have stated before, Martin's ideas are good.
I was just searching the internet for a good wading jacket. Martin has described the ideal wading jacket and exactly what I am looking for. I also believe that a lot of fishing gear ends up on the market before it is put to the test. There is a lot of junk. One day we all may thank Martin if he would be so bold as to present his idea to a number of companies. His ideas are good.
Fantastic job on these wet flies!...I especially liked the Greenwell's Glory as I have been trying to tie one for a friend...with limited success I might add...the Dark Montreal is very effective on brook trout in Nova Scotia...thank you for sharing your expertise and the "commentary"....
Hi Kasper, thank you very much for the great article. Beautiful pictures and a lot of information. To pick up your website is always a suprise and a great fun
Martin, Rodney, Kim, Nina, Bill and Steve thanks for a great relaxing but hot and sweaty day at the river! Dam rainbows...
Let's do it again sometime but please remember the icy cold bohemia style beers next time!

I just happen to come across this page. Very well done article. Now while I have cast more than 150 feet with the special equipment in National tournaments (I enjoy this and it is darn good exercise for a 74-year-old angler) it is also true that I seldom make a cast of more than 10 meters (30+ feet) when I'm brown trout fishing in Midwest streams. Tis better to creep up on the fish. Yes, there are times, when fishing bigger waters (e.g., lakes, flats, big rivers), when you simply can't wade close enough, and making a long cast can be helpful, and very ego satisfying... but setting hook with all that line out can be a problem.
great clarity. thank you
Lehigh River White Haven Pa. 06-11-06. I chart river every day,as far as cfs flow and screen or catch insects before fishing. Big mistate in directions. Instead of tying on #14 hook, all caddis emerging are a size #20. tie some with green body such as American Grannon. Imform me if this works. Tony
Good lookin patern. Going to have to tie a few up before the rivers open here on July 1st.
This is absolutely awesome! Good, interesting and informative, big kudos for the pictures wich really make the article easy to read, eyecandy!
Altough i miss an article about seatroutfishing in the stockholm archipelago where the fish is both big, common and relatively easy to find, something to arrange?
that is a good looking pattern. I always wonder if the fish can see the various colors of foam layers and whether it makes any fishing difference? It sure makes an aesthetic difference and that is important to the person tying and/or fishing.
I bought the A 620 with the WP-DC 90 housing. Its working great. Check out some of the UW photos in my gallery on this site.
Guys,
The Gold Nugget is back online and doing well...

Small world. I was born in Wellsville, NY and another member is from there. I'm going to get back there to fish soon, I have fished Oatka creek and Spring Creek in western NY. It is interesting how there are connections on a site Originating in Copenhagen. Tight Lines...
It doesn't work for me either. It's not you. My cousin use to date the police chief in Manchester.
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
