Hello there....
the another think, as a little child(Iam still child:)) Iwas very interesting in entomoligy and I study crayfish a little too.... The think which I mena now is that crayfish has a stadium, evry moths they are changing the skin and processll take about two days and a couple of my friends told me this time is the most interesting for a fish because they are week, soft and his colour is nearly white......So may be it ll be better to tie very bright.......What you mean about that???? :wink:

Hey man,

i am kind of sad, that you are not on the hungarian forum enymore.

But I think your 20inches slow strips ll work good......What you mean about this?[/quote:fcf499cb31]

Do a good 60cm (translating into euro-speak =) ) strip but do it slowly so it takes a good 4 seconds to do. The whole idea is that you are a crayfish walking across the bottom of the river/lake and going about your business unaware of the verocious predator stalking you from above.

Good Day,

One may substitute with the bristles from a brrom or brush. I use thenm to great effect.

Ouuuhhhh......
Ok, thanks for it. I know troutsll like it but I am trying to tie bigger and use them for our barsch,zander and may be pike too...... I think on 4 or 2 will work....Bacause this size I saw in barchs stomack.... :D But I ve to use very fast sinking line to get it on bottom.....Because the river is 2-3meters(10 feet) deep and stream is no so slow.....So its another complication...... But I think your 20inches slow strips ll work good......What you mean about this?

While your flyline might be a more subdued color so it doesn't scare fish, feel free to use the day-glo orange or yellow backing instead of the white backing that most vendors sale. If you ever have a fish that gets into the backing, you will need to see where your line is and what it's doing.

Hi Paul.

It not whats on the head, its whats... :P

But a sixpence helps :wink:

Martin,
I really would be interested in the GFF sixpence hat like Jari wears, maybe with the hat I could throw some nice tight loops like he does.

Sorry for my late report. I did catch some garfish in Denmark (near Haderslev). It took a few days for me to realize that all the takes i missed in the beginning of the evenings were in fact garfish. I switched to my garfish strings and that got me a few. I had all the takes on an orange shrimp (and nice also a 55 cm seatrout).

I had heard mullet are shy but when i got to North Langeland they were in the South. Thas what i call shy. However i caught some seatrout and saw some flat fish wonder around.

Now it's back to dreaming and hoping time passes quickly until april's back.

Tight lines.

Hi Martin,
nice Cap! It's a must for a just registered, I shurly take one!

Yup, count me in for one at least - I feel as if I've qualified by being on the Summit.

Agree with comments on colour from various quarters, but then, Olive Green has always seemed a good choice for almost everything to me!

Regards,
Les

Hi Martin,
You can count me in for at least one.
Take care
Paul

[quote:5be3130cb4="rybolov"]However, let's talk color. I have a light tan hat that I swear scares fish because it's too bright and it's up high on my head so the fish can see it better. One age-old trick for spotting fish is to use a hat with a dark brim (or at least underside of the brim) because it cuts down on the light noise that your eyes receive.[/quote:5be3130cb4]

Rybolov,

Color selection is unfortunately not that varied. I have found tan and charcoal to be the useful colors most widely available, and for now tried to get something subdued, tan, with a black brim underside.

I would personally prefer a dark olive (which is what I have now), but I know others who want diffently. Unfortunately the cap manufacturers seem to cater more to people who like white, pink and orange than for the more "earthy" types like us anglers.

For now I just wanted an indication of interest. I will return with details and color(s) later.

How about the GFF 10-gallon hat for the Colorado and Wyoming crew? :wink:

I've always been a baseball cap sort of guy.

[quote:d5f51cdcac="Dada"]Hey Guys,
I ve just question... Do you ve any experience with crayfish flies? [/quote:d5f51cdcac]

Hi Dada

Skip's Dad is a fairly realistic fly (that's why I like it, along with the fact that it's simple to tie) and it works for fish other than bass. Tie it in #10-14 for trout and use some smaller dumbell eyes. You can either fish it dead-drift (whichever nymph style you prefer--indicator or Czech style) or strip it in like you would a woolly bugger.

Another crayfish fly is a Foxee Clouser (Clouser with brown and rust colors), although thats more of what a crayfish would look like if Picasso painted it--it's a highly impressionistic fly.

Of course, I'm biased because I wrote the article. :lol:

Hi Martin.

Well the sixpences are highest fasion, didn't you know :wink: :wink:
I would vote for sexpences with fold-out ear-covers, since we are entering the cold season once again, and an optional LED light in the shade, so we can also use them in the summer nights.

Or maybe a simple cap is the best choice, anyway, where would you put the embroidering on a sixpence?

-Jari

Hi Martin.

Although I always try to wear my old handed down sixpence, that I got from my granddad. I for one would be interested. Maybe its time to fill a new hat with luck, the old one seems to have reached its limit :lol:

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
