Nice post production .. liked the aerial shots - interesting : though speaking in French, I could follow, even without the subtitles. The energy of the trip was evident ... and infective! As long as the 'antics' of the two fishermen do not get too crazy, this could be an interesting show. A lot to see just in Quebec. A lot more if you had the other Maritime Provinces..!! Kudos.
I'd also like to know where I can purchase the Sharks Caddis fly?
Deer hair takes a lot of prcatice. The other day I went thru half a promo skin before I got it right. Just love tying with deer hair now.
There is a lot of misinformation in this article, and even internal inconsistency with respect to details, but it's still interesting reading. We see statements such as this: "When you are reading this, the last ever free flowing Argentine Patagonian river will be on its way to be tamed" but there are many Argentine Patagonia rivers that are not controlled in such as way as to prevent movement of trout and salmon, such as the Rio Gallegos, Rio Santa Cruz, Rio Coyle, Rio Chico, Rio Deseado - to name some larger ones in just one of the Patagonian provinces.
Don,
Thanks for your kind comments. Much appreciated!
It's great to know that there's still people out there who appreciates what's done here. And it seem that you are not alone... We're closing in on 35 million video views and the site as a whole has about 15,000 visitors a day, so obviously someone must like what we're doing.

I just came across a wonderful letter that Preben wrote to me after meeting on the Madison River in September of 1980. Revives fond memory of a charming man. I can scan and send it to you if interested. Norman
I couldn't agree more, Larry - your streamers are works of art!
David,
By going to a flyshop and placing an order.
You can't order anything here.
We're a magazine and not a shop.
You might consider clicking the link under the video leading to the shop "In the Riffle" whose staff produced the video in the first place. They might have the fly in their assortment (they ought to since they market it in the video)
Or consider typing "Schminnow price" into Google and see what comes out.
Martin
I would like to buy some schminnows: sizes 6 and 4s... How do I order?
Right vs. left hand reel was a bit of a dilemma for me when I first learned to fly fish. My spinning reels were all left-hand wind, and my casting reels were all right hand wind. As I am right-handed, I can reel faster and longer in small circles using my right hand. Lefty Kreh, famous salt water fly-fisher, said to use your dominant hand because of this. You'll tire faster otherwise. When fighting large fish using a fly-reel or a casting reel, your dominant hand will be more coordinated and have more stamina. Note that left-hand spinning reels are fine (and preferable to me) because they have a very large turning radius handle and so do not present a problem. But anyway, as stated, it all comes down to personal preference...
Hi David,
I'm glad that you like them. I had a few nice perch on the red ones. A big carp took out completely my intermediate line ( I had a bad knot between line and backing ).These works excellent also on trout and chub. Probably barbell will take them, I'm not sure but these days I will try in a river where these ladies are swimming .
cheers,
Lucian
Very nice and simple. I can see the perch going for those too.
Thanks for posting
NICE PRESENTATION !! Very informative too. I like the fact that you still tie on Mustad hooks.(dosen't make me feel as old as I am)
Lovely! I would like to order a few.
You are very talented, your flies look so real, they even look like deer ticks. 10/10
Intend to use this in the marsh along the NC coast. Hope it's as productive as I hope. Easy tie and looks good on a #6.
Hi, Micro suede chenille is this widely available as I have chenille but it didn't look as stiff as the micro black suede chenille used on the Hawthorn Gnat which looked almost stick like
Would like info for the 2009 fly fishing (for bass w/poppers) vid in Montana. Is that location open to the public? If so, could you send the specifics to my email? Thank you.
Too many fish stories to tell about Hickman flats,back when you could not fish there unless you are in the Military or work for the Goverment.I was very fortunate to be able to fish there wading or Kayaking.Great place to fish...they are there you just have to have what my dad would say to us fish eyes.And you have to be Stealth no noise no sudden movement like most tourist.I am truly sorry you had no luck but like Dad would say to me and my brothers if it was easy everyone would do it......Ask me later I'll tell you how to catch at Hickam....Hana Paa Aloha.the lost Hawaiian
