Hi Vanuz,

[quote="Stephen Wade"]Hi Vanuz,

I could take you to a few waters in Denmark to fish for grayling and browns if you can put up with an english man. ;-)

...if you can handle a beginner, I´d be pleased :D

I don't think piranha would be slowed down by waders. =)

A couple of the participants have asked whether they could bring their wives, and sure that will be no problem as I see it.

But I thought there was a saying amongst flyfishers: "What happens on Fyn stays on Fyn". :lol:

Stimulator/Dropper Combo

Stimulators make an outstanding part of a dry/dropper combination. All the hair makes it float like a cork. Add a bead-head or stonefly nymph 2 feet or so below the stimulator.

If you tie in a small loop of hard, strong mono underneath the tail, it gives you an anchor point to tie a dropper on. Add your dropper with a loop-to-loop connection.

A stimulator/dropper rig has proven effective quite a few times for me, but usually in riffles or pocket water that is 3-6 feet deep. It's also a good choice when the water is up a little bit higher and cloudy, such as a tailwater in the winter or any stream after a good hard rain.

Air Bubbles

Glass beads are good on flies that are emergers--caddis and chironimids being the best. Because they can't swim very well, these insects use a bubble of trapped air to float them to the surface of the water so they can hatch.

Sometimes in your float tube you can see the chironies wiggling as they rise to the surface, clinging to their air bubble.

I can't wait to try

I can't wait to try out this method of Czech short nymph fishing as well as to tie up some Bobesh's! Fascinating article.

Hi Everyone......I l

Hi Everyone......I love Realistic Flies which are tied by Steve Thornton. They are soo.....erm......realistic. I love tying the 'Ammonite Nymph'. I have only had missed takes on this fly and am hoping to catch some fish on it especially Chub and Barbel and other course fish in the future.

Yeah, I'm pretty much a

Yeah, I'm pretty much a chironomid freak also. I love first thing in the spring and fall fishing with them. It is pretty cool getting a 10 lbs Rainbow to take such a little pattern. We'll see if these blue guys work come September and October before the ice comes back on.

Well, mullets are ha

Well, mullets are hard to catch. I have been trying out to hook those species with bread fly and had the same reaction. Funny is that bream can get one of those flies but mullet do not seem interested. I will keep trying until I get one!

It's just a brown tr

It's just a brown trout. The red dots are usually lower on the body and closer to the tail.

You can view more brownies, complete with red dots, if you go to the gallery and do a search for "brown".

Re: Blue Chironomids?

[quote:87167c205a="Grant Banes"]I guess a blue chironomids could work also.[/quote:87167c205a]

I've seen chironies in many different colors. If chartreuse and purple work, why not blue? Remember that fish see differently than we do, and that light is filtered as it goes down through the water column. It's the same reason you would use a purple steelhead fly.

By the way, I love chironimids. I've spent too many hours hooking large fish on small flies from a float tube. The hooking was good, the landing wasn't so great, but it sure was fun.

Need some fill flash - we miss the angler's happy face in the shadow. Nice shot overall. No waders on when fishing for Piranah--sounds brave to me!

The one thing we use a lot of glass beads on are woolly bugger patterns. A black wool with a red glass bead head, or an olive woolly with a green glass bead head and many other combinations. These variations all seem to work very well fishing rainbows in lakes.

I got stung in deep water and it well hurt.

There is one problem with glass beads. They are breaking up in cold weather. Some years ago I was winterfishing and used Mysisshrimp fly made of white glass beads. Temperature was something like -3 to -5.

Anike,

I don't think it's quite fair to complain about this article. Use the menu or the links and go to our gallery page. We have thousands of fishing pictures and extremely few of cameras!

You can even sumbit your own if you want to in our GFFpix-section.

I tried the pattern with bleached Elk hair and I think it will also work as a hopper pattern not just an adult stonefly.
