Yes indeed, I have fished with Phillip Rolles. In fact after trying other guides in other areas I would never think of fishing the Bahamas without Phillip. He has your back coveded every second... on shore and on water... as far as a teacher, there's none better.... eldondo

I find the Lagathu's Shrimp very realistic and would like to know how to tie it. Can you please email me directions, or direct me to the site that offers detailed tying instructions. Thank, you Al

Great story. Do you think it would be worth the effort to fish right out of the town of Boca Paila on ones own? It seems like a boat and guide is necessary to get to the better flats.

I think Mr. Petti better check the prices on the Lamiglas rods.Retail on the Espirit is close to $400.

The Hatch is a great trailer. If you're on a high-speed connection you can save it to your harddisk from the links above (right mouse button). For pvt use only I suspect.

Good idea! I was looking at used ski poles for a wading staff when I came upon this story w/how-to.
I might just give it a try.
You mentioned people leaning on staff while casting, I was thinking about a little butt pad to actually have a one-legged seat while in the middle of the creek/pool! :) Lazy man's fishing! :)

Wonderful ! Your website is wonderful, thank you very much, a great moment of dream in our poor world !!

Yes Doug, it is a beautiful insect but I cannot help you with a pattern. It is a similar size to the mouse patterns used in New Zealand.

I fish the sioux a lot. Looks like a lake run brown. Nice photo.

Be nice to have more information on the 2 colored CDC fly. Form the picture it is not very obvious where the 2-color part comes from or what the body is made of.

River Vltava in Dobra is my very favourite venue especially known for its big graylings and beautiful nature. So it´s nice to find something about my country on your website. If you want to buy fishing permit, you need state licence as described above. This licence can be bought at town hall of bigger towns but some problems are possible. Opening hours are not convenient and language skills of town officials can be very poor. Czech fishing union, which distributes fishing permits, is not very flexible organization so it's very useful to contact particular organization before your visit to arrange an appointment. The best solution is probably to contact some czech guides or common flyfisher as Kasper done. For example www.flyfish.cz or www.czechfly.com can help you. Above mentioned Honza Siman is excelletn flyfisher as well as famous producer of interesting tying materials

I have seen previous series Essential skills by Oliver Edwards and I would briefly say that' s one of the best video I have ever seen. Beautiful fish, skilfull flyfisher, excellent fly-tyer. So thanks for your notice of new series

nice looking fish and nice looking dog. what kind of dog is that?

Brian,

If you follow the link to DGP Productions (mentioned in the fact box) you will find plenty of information on these and Edward's other DVDs, patterns, pictures, even video clips. And you can buy the DVDs online, pay in dollars and have them shipped directly. No need for Amazon here.

I'm a bit disappointed. There is no information on what flies are described, not even a large enough picture to read the label to find out. I know you are not into sales here but I can not find out where in the states I can order either of the DVDs. Not Amazon for sure.

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.
