its frustrating - but can anyone imagine what will happen if you open 20 plisters to select 2 packages of hooks or if you do the same with any other material? there is hardly anything available without sealed in plasic.. Once open no one will buy it anymore without discount. So the shopowner wont be amused unless youspend more then 200 Euros. But usually I just add a few articles to my stores.

Tim,

Tim,

Nice boxes as always. I'd love to have something like them for my upcoming trip to the Catskills in May.

I will most likely get some flies tied, but nothing near your production.

I was first introduc

I was first introduced to nymph fishing by Ed Koch more than 40 years ago and the method he used was referred to as "Pennsylvania High Sticking". The flies were different, Ed's were much smaller and all fur.

I knew they are there.... Big step forward. Congratulations & thanks to the explorers. Much appreciated. The threadfins are an interesting target as well. In the near future I will go there. Not too far form Muscat, as you stated.
Fish on,

This is one of my very favourite streamers, especially when tied with polar bear. I know bucktail is original, but PB has more life to it underwater.

Yes, I have the link

Yes, I have the link and I will send it to you - the policy here is not to post links to other sites - I respect that! Still, the guy who posted that technique there (a very prolific and thorough romanian flytyier), didn't suggest that he was the originator - so I cannot give you the original. Anyway the front body, that complete the extended-body-mayfly, was made with cdc - which I'm a fan!
So, I'll mail you the link and anyone who wants it, just e-mail me.

Staff note: The link is here. We only disallow links to avoid spam. Add it without http:// and I will transform it to an active link.

Thanks for the comment

Stan, Thanks for the comment. I do not doubt that someone else thought of the idea to make the bodies. I got the idea from a post where a fellow was spinning a mandrel with his fingers. Do you still have a link to that site? The true INNOVATION I claim, which may have existed, was to wrap the hackle between the hook and under the body so that the hackle, like legs, keep the abdomen off of the water. This presents a more natural look. This is key. I tried the extended bodies last year with the hackle around the wings (parachute) and they were not especially effective. I went to the NATURAL style last Fall and immediately saw great results. Try them, they catch fish!

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.
