Do not forget the number of fish. In Skjern you catch (on average) a salmon after 20 days of fishing in 2013 - so now the price is cheaper in Iceland 250 euro/salmon - in Skjern you pay 500 euro to catch one salmon( 20x 25 euro= 500 euro/salmon)
These videos are awesome and very helpful. Thank you so much for making them available.
What is the best remedy
Bob, great job on the article! It brought back fond memories of the spit and how a seemingly easy place to catch fish can make you feel like a rooky kid all over again. Nothing worse than fish rolling and jumping feet away from you and nothing in your fly box even remotely interesting them.
Glad to see I was not the only one humbled by a fishing hole :-)
Nice fly and very effective. I tie a similar variety of this excellent pattern which I think i got from a Pennsylvania website. It can be a killer with a copper head. A variation I use is tying the rear hackle with olive CDC whilst retaining partridge for the front hackle..
Does anyone know where to get Rouven Kempkes-Warrior Lures?
very interesting, would not have thought about fishing that deep
would be nice to see a real review of that reel...
Images very poor! Amateur images!! The fishing spot is excellent, but lack professionalism in filming ....
Great story - thanks for sharing :)
Wonderfully touching story. I'm teaching my seven-year-old granddaughter to tie flies and fly fish, and the unbridled exuberance she displays is good tonic for someone who has worn deep ruts along the stream bank for more than half-a-century.
Nice, almost brought a tear to my eye, OK, there was a tear. Its funny I've caught lots of fish over the last 20 years of fly fishing, but I will always remember my very first trout like it was yesterday. Just thought about that trout again, as I was reading your story.
cool story !
Tom, love the fly! This fly will make our Army folks proud! Great, and fitting tribute.
STUNNING!
Rabd,
The video works as it should, and if you can see videos elsewhere it should work here too.

Try Youtube, and search for "white spotted char jpn", and watch what the Japanese flyfishers use. Foam, probably foam sleeping mat with short nylon "spikes" either thick nylon or cable ties, and a catch measurer on the side. Looped over their shoulder and floats on the water.
I'll be trying this season.
i was unable to see the video
The person cutting the foam cyclinder from the glued flip flop should use a brass tube. These brass tubes are available in any size. You cut the brass tube the size needed, sharpen on edge and take the other end and place in rotary drill. You will be able to cut many popper bodies this way.
P.S. The brass tubing is available at any hardware store or handyman hardware store.
Lovely fly all the way around!
Great page and Tony is a MASTER! I don't know why I have not heard of him before, but he is so excellent I will look for him at the various shows I attend.
excellent video very fine fly tying instructions
Beautiful photos!
no use for language like this. I let my kids watch this with me and this is not right.
… I have a small favor to ask.
