I read your account of CDC with great interest
Hans - I read your account of CDC with great interest - noting particularly the portion on understanding the properties of CDC as it closely paraphrases some American Angler articles predating your entry here by six years; articles that somehow escaped mention in your otherwise extensive literature search on the subject - right down to mention of the effects of floatant on CDC and the ability of the feather barbules to capture air bubbles - both photographically illustrated in the AA pieces.
Good to hear
Milan,
good to hear you liked the article. The water in the Baltic Sea is brackish and not very salty. That's why the ides can live here. They act pretty much like trout - feeding long the shores and going up the streams to spawn. They are a great challenge and a beautiful fish.

Very well done , Bob...
I've tried this meth
I've tried this method a couple times. Using a small split shot weight worked really well to keep the bubble where i wanted. I was able to find everything i needed at walmart.
Nice article!
Nice article! I have never heard that Ides can be found in the sea!!! Thank's for sharing!
I have been cursed b
I have been cursed by the Woolly Bugger flay for many years. I would try to fish this fly when report and those persons leaving the river were having luck with its use. I was told to fish this like a nymph i.e., drift-fishing under an indicator. I had completely given up using the woolly. A few days ago I was fishing at Roaring River State Park MO and observed a young teen boy just tearing up the trout on almost every cast. After sitting and watching for about fifteen minutes I tied on a brown Woolly, used the same technique and caught fish on my first cast. "Curse broken!" Brown, olive, grey, and pink are my go to flies here on out.

Barry, this is what I call a 'fish getter'. Excellent job, beautiful colors. My kind of Bucktail!

Hässäkkä
Here is another Finnish varied Kakshäkiläinen called Hässäkkä (~ mess) by Aarne Karjala http://perhorasia.fi/Fly/Fly.thtml?flyID=6771 The idea on Hässäkkä lies in the single flashabou tail flash and the weight which makes the fly swim upside down. It's a real killer, check it out yourself:
The page is in Finnish, but Google translator will prolly help.
Also used in East Europe
Martin, this fly is also used in East Europe for more than 20 years. I saw this pattern in an old fly fishing book from '80.
Here in my country (Romania) it's also known as Pulsar Fly. We use green, red or black floss, partridge feathers and glass beads for light flies or metallic beads for heavy flies. A few year ago we start to use jig hooks instead of classic hooks.
cheers

Nice job there Barry, and a great looking pattern. It just may be the ticket on the trout of the Yellowstone country. Thanks for sharing this good lookin' streamer. Kevin
Your detailed inform
Your detailed information is very helpful to me as a seasoned ocean striper fisherman brand new to the Merrimack River and respecting it's strong tides! I'll certainly fish the eddies and be extra careful of the strong currents with my children on board. It's also been tough finding articles involving the low tide depths of the river. Thanks again!

Wondering if Barbara
Wondering if Barbara came across Rachel Finn, perhaps the finest fly fisher and guide, male or female, in the Adirondacks. She is also an accomplished artist. She is an inspiration to anglers of all ages and genders.
