I was at the Danish

I was at the Danish championships as a spectator just to check it out, and try some of the flyrods on display. The whole "vibe" at the competition seem to be very good and CFCC had done a fine job arranging the event. But in my opinion there was one big mistake about the championships.... THE WIND!!
As I am left handed I wouldn't have had a chance if I had entered the competition. All of the casting ranges were set up so the wind would be in the right direction(from the side) for right handed casters. And some of them were even struggling with the wind in the precision event (as you write in your article). The small gusts of wind made it more than a challenge for some of the competitores.
The solution would obviously be to arrange the next danish championships indoor, to give everyone a fair shot. If this is done I will be one of the first to enter.

I landed a similar fish last year at Turkey Run. It was a total surprise because I was letting my line hang below me while I was moving, and the bass hit it while I was busy looking for a better place to step.

I've lost 2 that size in just the past 2 weeks at Turkey Run--using Skip's Dad, of course. One was while I was fishing with Paul, and I thought he was going to pass out seeing that fish jump out of the water. :roll:

The Secrets of Turkey Run

They just added a "No wading or swimming" sign earlier this year. I think it's mostly for CYA purposes on the part of the government. I'm not the only one hopping across the islands, and I have yet to have any problem with somebody telling me to get out of the water.

I don't think the park police make it past the parking lot, which is a pretty good setup. But there is a liability issue if you decide to drown yourself in a national park.

I've seen some pretty large carp in the slow deep area right below Langley Island. Haven't hooked one yet. Not quite sure why, but I think it's only a matter of time before I do.

Cheers

Hi Moreno,

Hi Moreno,

yes, it is still on. I am in Toscana between the 8th-15th of July. It is only one week, but a day of fishing will be great!

We will be staying in San Mommé.

Sarunas,

Thanks for posting! Excellent fishing it seems and some nice fish. Keep on posting and let's get some impressions from a country that few of us know anything about.

I tie a similar one. I thought that I invented it. That has happened with about all of my fly inventions.

About Turkey Run. They say that you can't wade there. Any truth to that? I drive by the spot almost every day. I have good luck upstream from Riverbend Park. All the way up to the pipeline. There are lots of nice holes to fall into. My best fish there has been an 18 incher.

I also heard that the Carp are great at Turkey Run. Any truth to that rumor?

James,

And I have never said anything else. In the podcast I mention that I referred to it as the Chernobyl Ant (slightly molested, I admit), but my friends dubbed it the Barsebäck Ant. Barsebäck is a Swedish nuclear power plant.

James,

While we do prefer flyfishing-related images we're not fundamentalists, and a few spin fishing (and even a bait fishing) picture has snuck through.

I thought this site was for fly fisherman not spin fishers.

Rybolov,

I'll pay you ten times what we pay everybody else, of course! No problem.
Mailed you a preview link of the article with the latest images too.
It looks good and will go online in a week or so.

Jason,

We don't sell flies here. You will have to ask in a flyshop or find a source online.

Setting the hook!

Hi Kasper

Hi Kasper

Is your trip to Toscana still on? If you let me know where you will be based so perhaps I can give you some advice. As an anticipation you can fish great Browns and even Grayling.

Let me know!

Setting the Hook!

Sea trout are eaten

Sea trout are eaten by many predators, mainly seals, comorrants, otters, herons, porpoises and larger birds of prey like fishing eagles.

Smaller fish (fry and smolt) are eaten by larger fish including its own kin and salmon.

Great pattern

I have been fishing this pattern for about 1 1/2 weeks and have had some of the best strikes (especially when dead drifting). I have taken approximately 50% of my fish on htis pattern and tried olive under belly and tan wing. This fly definitely attracts strikes from some pretty finicky Connecticut trout which have been pressured a lot this spring.

Good luck as you get them out and fish them. I have noticed that as they are ending the drift and floundering and rising is where they get gobbled up!

Almost doesn't seem fair.
