Martin's idea is goo

Martin's idea is good. I cut a very slim piece of plastic from a sandwich baggie and use that as a shellback. Takes markers well. Seems in the spirit of the sparse material selection the original Czech and Polish fishermen had at their disposal. HAHAHA

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm really glad that the site helps you. That is the whole idea and it's good to hear that it works.

Just a note to tell

Just a note to tell you how much I appreciate your website. It has been such a great help. I am a retired pastor/police officer and have been flyfishing since 2000 and it is the only way I know how to fish. I took a course in flyfishing & flytying in Kansas in 2000 and my instructors were very good. But one forgets alot when away from the source. My wife & I became missionaries to Korea with the Nazarene Church (Methodist) for a number of years and recently returned to the US. I'm back into flyfishing here in Louisiana. I found your website and I thoroughly enjoy it and it has helped me a lot. Thank you for all your work & sharing in flyfishing. Blessings to you.

Danish tackle shops

Chris,

The pictures in the article are all but one from the Danish tackle shops I frequent. The average Danish shop will have a pretty good fly-tying selection as you can see.

This wee guy has all the right ingredients to catch fish anywhere!

I don't know what kind of shop you buy in

Pit,

I don't know what kind of shop you buy in, but in my local flyshop the owner himself will take down several bags of material and open for me!

And of course there's no discount on material that's been opened. Everything should be in bags that allow opening and resealing. Hooks is another matter as is lots of other things like small eyes, tubes, weights and such. There is usually no need to open these factory made items. It's the natural materials that need inspection because they vary so much.

And of course it's our duty as customers to do the inspection with delicacy and finesse and leaving everything exactly as it was when we go. We don't want to mess up anything, but just to get what we are looking for.

Both Riskov

BIG,

Both Riskov and the area outside Marselis Skov are well known and popular coastal locations in Aarhus. You can definitely fish there with confidence. And consider traveling by bus. Aarhus - as most Danish cities - has an excellent public transportation system, which can bring you quite close to good fishing water.

Also consider visiting the tackle shops in town and ask. Dragefisken or Stefs Lystfiskergrej are two options. Look up their addresses on the web.

Dunc's comment/question "sounds" just the way that i remember him !! A great man and super(fast) tyer !!

Hello Martin.

Hello Martin.

I am studying in Aarhus and wondered where is good for coastal fishing. Should i swing down past the hotel marsaille or out riskov way. I only have a push bike and recent injury prevents me cycling more than 45 minutes.

Hope you can help

Mike,

We do not sell any flies. So you will have to tie yourself or show the recipe to a tying friend or a flyshop and get them to tie.

To all,

I'm sure Carlos will not mind you using the logo for your signs and other material. The logo is actually available to download in a good quality from the main article, and there's an explanations of its colors and the optimal way to use it, so that's the whole purpose.

I have tried to contact Carlos directly but not heard back, so I will hereby grant the permission.
