I have two set of At

I have two set of Atlantic Salmon flies.. Both are autograph. One is by Ted Williams the baseball guy and one by Lee Wolff. Are they worth anything?

Morten,

Morten,

If I understand this right this leader is sanded down to its proper taper, isn't it? I remember Milton mentioning these, but never really took that much notice... Isn't it a lot of work?

I had (still have) a friend who fished a lot in the Justland streams for sea trout, and I also remember him preparing these leaders. He later moved to Australia, and I haven't seen or heard them mentioned since.

Sarunas,

Those are good looking flies. I like the order and discipline in that box! Very unlike my own fly-boxes...

Fine tying skills (young eyes

Fine tying skills (young eyes ;)), When i was 14 I allways carried tree boxes full of flies around, one with nymphs, one with dries, one with traditionall wets, streamers, hairwings, montanas, etc.

Today I hardly carries tree different fly patterns with me ;)

Love those north country spiders, they even fish great in slow motion danish streams. Give me some north country spiders, and I will never starve ;).

In my opinion the north country spiders never got the popularity world wide they deserved.

Laying a beautiful fish such as that on the dry ground? Very bad form, man, very bad.

Could you elaborate a bit on this? I have heard the same thing once a while ago, but never really got deeper into it.

You have probably made your purchase(s). Here's a my quick input, however. First a bit on the leader issue.
For a couple of years now I have used fluorocarbon leaders, which have an ability to sink as the leader is a bit heavier than the water itself. However, it is as easy to cast with as a regular leader. In this way you get the best from the regular leaders and poly leaders. I have been using these: http://www.riverge.de/ but I know that for instance Loop also make them.

Poly leaders fish excellent, but are too heavy to cast with in my opinion.

By the way. I also use a Loop CWL (the black one). It's working flawlessly - and has been for more than two years now. The handle has corroded, however - even though I have put it in water after most trips.

Nice rodhandle, what

Nice rodhandle, what's it made off? Woo,d and if so what kind?

Nice photo Ripley, s

Nice photo Ripley, seems that we have the same ambition, Although i prefer less plastic and more natural things. Hope we can exchange some ideas during the GFF meeting in 2 weeks, maybe you can give some hints as where to fish after the meeting, cheers

CPH-Odense

Hi fellow summit attendants,
I am in need of a lift from Copenhagen to Odense in order to make it for the now annual GFF summit. I would prefer morning or noon departure, in order to be able to do a bit of fishing on Friday, but I am open for other options, as long as the destination is Kragsbjergvej 121 Odense M on Friday the 21st of September.

If you are in possession of an empty seat and in need of someone to work the maps, please feel free to let me know.

Looking forward to see you all at the summit,

Just beautiful....this is real art!

Hi Horstmann,

Hi Horstmann,
round new year you'll normally not have problems with the watertempratures. The average temprature is round 5/6°C. To that time you can fish the whole island depending on the wind. Good places are all round Mjells Mark. Als Fjord and Augustenborg Fjord can also be good.
Recommendable flies are all Shrimppatterns, Gra Frede and Magnus. A Polar-Magnus is a good fly at this time of the year. Also white Shrimpflies can work good.
If you are working the east coste to that time, you must notice the protective zones. Especially the places between Torup and Fynshav have lots of protective zones.

You have right, i co

You have right, i copied the wrong name in it...SORRY
Thank for your correction!!

Very informative. I will go to the vice with some great ideas for new flies. The main point I have taken from the information is that czech nymphs should be kept as thin as possible.

Many thanks
