There was an error in the file naming of the images. It's been corrected now, and all images should show as they are supposed to.

Not surprising to se

Not surprising to see that big peacock. This pattern is ideal for those. I'm going to feed it to our smaller peacocks in Florida.

A nice article on a

A nice article on a technique I wish to learn. Thank you for sharing it with us and for the traditionalists, this is only one method of many in fly fishing :)

Leaving the price tag on

Minnie Pearl got the idea for leaving the price tag on her hat when she accompanied a particularly stylish group of fly fishers on a tailwater fly fishing expedition in Arkansas.

Much of what's in print

Much of what's in print about the best fishing spots was written by or for the local chamber of commerce. Join a local fly-fishing club. It won't take long to discover who knows where the fish are and when and what they are hitting. My experience has been that these guys are usually willing to share their knowledge and often invite you to go fishing with them.

Comment to Hook Reference

Oh what a naughty article

Oh what a naughty article but!
If I wear my ex Uk military sweater, a German green felt hat with wide brim, sunnies and rubber thigh waders I don't get arrested for creeping along river banks in a suspicious manner because of my snow white hair and shuffling gait, fly rod and antique landing net, capacious shoulder bag of food, drink and assorted tackle but I am assured of a free ride home from our friendly police force especially after dark. Who wants to be the best dressed idiot? Not I.

It certainly is for fun

Tony,

It certainly is for fun, and mocking the people who stand in the "picket line" as you so precisely call it. None of the above is a fact except for the "many people equals many fish", which is often true simply because more anglers catch more fish. Apart from that I would personally mostly do the exact opposite of what this article recommends.

I do hope that this is a tongue in cheek

I do hope that this is a tongue in cheek spoof 'cause if not I have wasted seventy years of prime angling time. However fishing the picket line is not my scene, spotting wild fish in wilderness places most definately is and through the years I guess I have done well and learned a little too. I'm a satisfied loner!

Hi, nice video, what

Hi, nice video, what fish are you catching?

Fished this pattern

Fished this pattern many times simple but deadly, fish very slow or leave to drift

Very nice pattern! S

Very nice pattern! Simple but effective.

Thx for the brilliant and detailed tying instruction.

Hey guys -

I'd like to get in touch with John; I met him on the Grand one day last week and appreciated his recommendation of the Zuddler Minnow very much. I've fished that fly from Yellowstone to the Amazon so it really cracked me up to have it recommended to me again for steelhead. When he said it I was like, "Of course! That fly catches everything." Thanks again.

A lot of fun reading

A lot of fun reading the above article and the other two (how to look and act right).
I have laughed a lot, like to see some more.

I am fortunate

I am fortunate to live in the far Northern Cape, near Prieska and the Orange river and enjoy catching Yellows on fly. If any one is passing this way maybe I can arrange a day or so on the river. Hereabouts it is virtually unfished for many, many kilometres and where I fish there are rapids, and long deep pools. Yellows run to over 3kg. I can also provide basic guest house accommodation. All much cheaper than anywhere else. At the moment the river is really pumping and fishing is difficult to say the least. However. it should clear by May/June.

Us Americans don't like to walk

Us Americans don't like to walk too far from the truck so this article is good news and will be well received here. Dont forget the hot dogs and sodas people.
