Can you put some picture during the production of it.... it looks really great..:)

Joel, your flies are always a treat for me. Beautiful fly here. I am a big fan of Coq de Leon, but have not acquired any yet. That is going to have to change. (especially after seeing this beauty~!)

Around the same time as Jans GP came out someone was asking about a pattern for Conrad Voss Bark Nymph, a pattern by Mick Huffer appears in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying September 2008 issue on pages 58 to 63 inclusive along with two variations one is a simple tail variation the other a floating or surface attractor. Step by step tying instructions with pictures and a good general write up including how to fish the fly. If you do not know Mick Huffer look him up on Google great tyer, very good fisherman and an all round good guy. Cracking fly works a treat in bright sunshine just about everywhere.
All the Best and I hope this gets to the guy who asked about it.

Great fly Chris....I really like it and will do a couple for the upcoming season. I have to apologize for the video. I simply set my camera in front of the television to film this...and the quality shows. But even with the poor quality...it never gets old to watch!!! Dunc is missed dearly....and amazed that 5 years has passed allready.... on Feb 10 i raised a glass for him that evening!

Wonderful information. Am i correct in saying that the enamel surface once sanded is never planed to protect the underlaying fibers.

It is a delight to see so many of your streamers so well tied. Please continue to post your wonderful streamer. The dusty Streamer is another one on the top of my list to before spring fishing.

Excellent website, great way for the Fly Fishing Fraternity to showcase their Fly Tying and Fly Fishing experiences and share it with people wanting to get into this Fly Fishing Caper.

ahhh, of course that if the fish is dead does not make a difference .... But this is how to hold the fish in the South American is terrible, very ugly! It's a cultural difference, for here the real fly fisherman killed very few fish, there are other fishermen types who kill fish in any situation, unfortunately......

Kevin,

I have never been a great proponent of the view that long shanked hooks are a problem. The leverage issue comes up now and then, and there might be some truth to it for really long hook - like NE streamer hooks, but in my experience a hook as the one used here holds just as well as a short shank one. I typically use a Kamasan B800, which is a favorite hook of mine, and although it is quite long, I don't remember having lost fish where I could blame the hook.

Ernesto,

This is a dead fish... I doubt it will feel any difference.
Bright Danish seatrout are mostly killed for eating, and this seems to be ready for the pan too.

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.
