Great flies Ramiro,

Great flies Ramiro, they look very good with all that glitter and shine.
When I see the pictures of all the different species , I think that those flies are pretty good !
For sure I am going to tie some, maybe this afternoon, because at the moment of writing this, it is snowing outside my door here in Holland and the world is totally white !

Best regards,

Tom.

Kevin,

You have m

Kevin,

You have me confused here!
You ask "What line would I use to connect a 9 weight shooting head line?"

Line to connect what? The shooting line and shooting head connect to each other. Nothing else needed.
And "shooting head line"? Is that a shooting head or a shooting line? It can't be both...

If you are asking what line to use as a shooting line for a 9 wt. shooting head, that's exactly what the article is about. It goes through all the types, and they can all be used for a 9 wt. shooting head. What to use is up to your taste and wallet.

Yes, well, what can one say! An absolutely brilliant piece of work; I am envious of all you portray in the lovely photographs of an area on the other side of the world. Congratulations!

i like the wool body with the rib the most about this fly, it really adds some depth to this fly, well done

John,

I might not

John,

I might not be native English speaking, but as far as I know it seems to be a tie between vice and vise:

Vice - variant of vise
Main Entry: clamp
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: fastener
Synonyms: bracket, catch, clasp, grip, hold, lock, nipper, press, snap

You can prefer vise to avoid misunderstandings, but it's definitely fully OK to call a clamp for fly tying for a vice.

It is spelled V-I-S-

It is spelled V-I-S-E.Your spelling refers to bad habits.Otherwise fine review.

Different fish

Marc,

These flies will work for a lot of different fish - trout, bass even bonefish. They are very generic and generally useful as long as the size and style fits the fishing - wet flies, casting and retrieving. They were developed for saltwater fishing, but will also do fine in freshwater and streams.

I'm sure that Lithuanian fish will respond just as the Danish (and Swedish) fish do, which is usually with vigor.

If you are fishing inland trout rather than in the ocean, you might get some hints from this article on Lithuania or even this one on Estonia.

Baltic trout

Hi,
The book says Baltic trout... wondering if you know about trout fishing in Lithuania in particular (in English) and whether this book would cover Lithuania. I don't mean that the trout speak English of course, that might be asking a bit too much. But if you know of any information that would be wonderful.
Thanks!
