My name is Mark. I will be heading to Belgium in July to see my Fiance. I am an East coast Surfcaster. Mid to late july I will be north of La Rochelle, France. Her family and I are camping somewhere close to the coast. I am bringing my fishing stuff, 8'6" rod 15 lb line on a spinning reel and some of my plugs yozuri, sp minnow, etc. I tie some good sand eel flies and will have plenty of them. I'd be stoked to fish with someone.
Brad,
No, this mouse tends to dive if you fish it too fast. A dead drift with a twitch now and then works best. Or you could add a foam lip in the front of the mouse to press it above the surface when it's retrieved.

Does this mouse plane on the top of the water like other mice patterns? It has been my experience that the more the mouse skitters and skips on the surface the more violent and acrobatic the strike.
River Otters moved into the water system about five years ago...I've seen 'em. The big trout have become Otter food, but you can still have fun with a 2 weight rod.

Hi George,
My wife & I are planning to visit Scarborough some time in mid July. A life long fly fisherman for trout, I only recently added stripers to my short list of quarry fish. I have a two person kayak and am planning on trying the vast Scarborough River estuary for stripers. I'd welcome & appreciate any advice along any lines (time of day, best tide conditions, hot spots, patterns) as well as your company, if you're interested. I'm exclusively C&R for trout, and so far, ditto for stripers.
Looks good & very much like a minnow that would work on slow, warm water lakes in upstate, NY, USA! Thanks for the recipe & look see!
Is this book available without using the Kindle or any other e-book. I would be interested in a book copy.
I got a lot of samples and they look good ,I even wrote to them and asked what kind of hooks they use.they seems to know all the hook companies .they want me to send them money first , but when I told them I pay by PayPal,
I never hearted from them again
At first I tough they were for real but when I saw that caddis larva bottom right I know they are ford
Thank you for shearing that with us

I like it Martin. I'm heading up to Northern Ontario in mid-July, gives me a new fly to try. Should work for the smallmouth to. It should work around here, probably in a smaller size for the bass and chain pickerel in the local lakes. I'll let you know how it works.

Hi boys.
I will present a few of my models flies that have proven over the years. I love these flies because they are simple, but very effective. They can be made in different materials and in different colors. Both are made, they always work.

Phil,
It's not Linekury, but Linekurv and the web site is simply the same linekurv.dk as it's also clearly mentioned in the article that you will find by clicking on the image or following the links below it.
Martin
Where can I buy a linekury.dk from?
Very nice and effective Nymph. Good job.
All the best.
Two new flies from my box:
Red Deceiver.
Hook #12 (from # 8 to # 12), L - 2X.
And the second fly:
Red Pheasant.
On hook # 12 (from # 10 to # 14)
All the best.
Been wanting to get to Yellow Creek for years, finally made my first visit in the last two days (May 20-21, 2014) The place is beautiful and serene, can't wait to return, but we saw no fish....Worked hard in the meandering valley section and down into the faster water of the canyon section...saw no signs of fish....Another fly fisherman staying in the campground said he had the same experience the last couple of days....He said that he had heard rumors of whirling disease impacting the creek. Were we just too early, water too cold, just one of those days, is the disease rumor accurate??? Be interested to hear any other comments......Thanks RD
Thanks a lot Steve for your kind comment. I sure had fun in tying these up and sharing them with our fellow streamer tiers.
Thanks Martin. I'm glad that you like them.
Some other patterns, tied by technique 'two flies on one hook'.

… 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.
