I've tied so many flies and thrown so many since I viewed the DVD that I'm exhausted thinking about Mullet. They jump over my flies, they swim underneath them, they taunt me every second that I spend hunting them. I lay on the rocks, casting on my back, crouching like a crab and walking the same, and still no Mullet.Why? Why? Why? HELP me please.
Nice ant.
I am not following the part about the whip finish. Do you whip arround the post or next to the eye?
Paul, Why don't you put a fly construction web page up. However put details of the best lures for different parts of the Uk.
Put it on the web, and allow users to put details of their best lures. In this way a DB of the best types of lures etc can be developed for the Uk. As an advantage you will be able to learn from others.

THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PICTURE IT REMINDS ME OF MY SCENIC FLIGHT OVER THE DELTA BACK IN 2006
Hi
Steve ties good flies, but he took my money last year and I am still waiting for my goods.
Doesnt return my emails or phone messages.
Be careful when dealing with him

Peter,
You are so right! The recorder normally "lives" in my photo bag - which I remembered - but I left it next to my computer after having produced episode one.
So it goes...
Martin
Hi Martin,
Thanks for this follow-up podcast.
This just to tease you: if you forgot the recorder at home - I can't resist this: so much for early packing!... :)
Regards Peter
Hi Martin, thank you very much for starting this two podcast sessions. It is very motivation to hear from the coast and about your pre fishing session. It is good to know that there a more guys in the world who have the same emotion while preparing a trip.

I am searching for the furled leader article reported to be on your website. Great site definitely will revisit.
Thanks
I fished the Delta, Zambesi and Kafue river systems from 1950 onwards until the late 70's. Thank you for bringing back many happy memories. In the early days, Bots really was paradise on earth. In my humble opinion, the Kariba tiger are not worth much. Fight like a sack of coal next to the river tiger. The King tiger from the Congo river around Elizabethville and Katanga were awesome.
A gold bead pheasant tail nymph is the only nymph you need if coming to Ireland.
also Noe, castle arms fly has grade B capes(what you would use if you were goig to fish flies) for 60 dollars.
Hi GFF team,
I'm very interested in this book but for some reason it is not available or very difficult to get in Europe. However during my research I found one more book of the same authors, "Shrimp & spey flies for salmon and steelhead"
I just wanted to ask whether you know this book and how the content differs from the one you reviewed here.
Thanks and Regards,
Tom
Martin,

That nailless nail knot is quite handy! A few weeks ago I took my brand new bamboo rod out to fish for the first time. Stopped and bought a line on the way to meet my friends. Got there, took delivery of reel in the parking lot where we were embarking on our creek trip. I realized that I needed a loop in the end of the line in order to attach my furled leader. The nailless nail knot secured a thoroughly adequate loop that performed well all day and has since been enhanced with some Loon UV Wader Repair.
Hi This is Barry Kent, I have been living in Florida, USA for the past 19 years.
Your website came to my attention and especially the piece about the Transkei fly stamps.
I have put up a website to expain to everyone the true story of how these stamps came into existence.
goto www.fishingflystamps.com for more info. I plan to expand this site soon. to explain and show the other events that took place during my 20 years in Southern Africa. I have never stopped tying but now I tie saltwater and FD salmon flies for framing. Wish I had known earlier that one of you was in Florida last month. We have OUTSTANDING backcountry saltwater fishing here in Central Florida.
When i tie my BWO's I use a shorter tail with moose. I was wondering why you use such a long tail?
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
