Good that you landed one before you had to le ...

I spend a couple of days on the German Baltic sea Island of Rügen in pursuit of pike

My friends and I hired a guide who showed us the techniques to use

Saw the advertisment of the book and thought that's one I have
to get since I am partial to diving birds, panicked fish and all the
other stuff surrounding this type of fishing.

Had the book shi ...

different at the coast and that keeps it interesting.

Since the fishing in the Harz mountains went so well in May my buddy and I had immediately booked a new visit for the middle of August.

Good luck with the Snook.

Ehh ... I am Dutch Very Happy

Well to be precise 50% Dutch / 50% German.

The dock I fished by foot was loaded with Snook as you can
see on the pictures.
The problem is that those fish are off course ...

Get a dock with a good light - tos a small white fly and hang on.
Best bet would be off course with a boat and head into an area
with big houses that have their own docks - residential areas with ca ...

Looks very nice down there.
The lizardfish are indeed very greedy critters with a voracious appetite,
just be happy they do not get big Smile

From the pictures the water looks very clean, was there ...

One of the annual trips that was still on the to do list was a trip to
the port of Rotterdam fishing for shad.
The shad roam the port in the summertime months until September
and can be caught on s ...

Used to buy them mostly but now tie almost all my flies
myself.
In the end it is more rewarding and I like to control the
quality the flies.

I only tie the flies I need which are mostly nymphs ...

I once went flat on my face with my digital SLR in the river.
Allthough I carried the SLR in a waterproof bag ... the bag was open.

The mishap happend when a buddy of mine invited me for a coffee ...

Off course I did a search on the Halo reel and also red something about that it was a prototype.
The reels of mr. Hart are very sought after collectables so you'd better put that halo reel into a sa ...

Allthough I own a few of his reels and the guy lives practically
around the block so to say I do not follow his businessventures
that closely.
Having said that I think his current reels are again ...

From the reviews I concluded that the Panasonic was the better camera of the two allthough the feat ...

Still carrying the SLR = Nikon D40 around.
Although I am very happy with the SLR I would really have liked a multizoom lens - those are readily available but a tad expensive to put on my pretty vinta ...

Very nice with monster fish as usual.
I am wondering, do you pick dead tide when you paddle through that Fjord ?
I can imagine the currents must be very strong there.

Last Sunday we made another visit to the lower part of our stream in
the area we call the Prairie because of the open landscape.
With clear blue skies it was soon darn hot and we had hoped that the ...

The last day of our Harz trip was upon us.
Since we had to travel 4 hours back to the west we knew it would be a short day.
After the excellent breakfast at the hotel we decided to take no chances a ...

Still planning to come to RI this fall, will let you
know soon when I have made a deal with my boss.

Goal was to check the marina for yellow perch and just fish half an hour or more before work. ...

The main goal was to check if the chubs would be present and willing to take flies.
Before fishing we went for the obl ...

I fish a tiny stream with browns.
It is very common to have no results on nymphs or dries.
What often does the trick is a deeply fished streamer.
My favorite is a small black zonker with a mylar bo ...

I tied some nymphs on Friday to see their effect on the
shiners in the stream.
Tied some bead head nymphs with golden beads, fluo orange beads and
body's of pheasant tail and green / claret / pink ...

Went out for a late afternoon session on yet another chilly day almost in the middle of May.
I was pretty soon into a fish which I suspected was a brook trout due to its tendency to fight
deep.

Flyfishing Germany – April 30th.

The cost of the Dutch royal family to taxpayers is only surpassed by the
English royals.
I can only think of one benefit that comes with the royals and that is ...

Another spring trip to Denmark has ended.
My fear of going home skunked did not materialize although in my opinion the fishing was very tough.

Went fishing yesterday on a very nice day on this side of the pond.
Nature is in overdrive and everything turns green at a fast rate.
I noticed the first active shiners and even saw some rises in th ...

Today we had another trip to the stream, the stream had returned to a normal level with clear water. Weather wise it was cold with now and then rain showers.
We started off at the location where I ha ...

I have seen people do that downstream fishing but I am not good at.
Since I figure the fish are facing the current they will probably spot me before I spot them and scoot off.

So I tend to fish wi ...

My boss found it necessary to close shop on Friday so I decided to visit our little stream in Germany.
The snowdrops have blossomed out, the windflowers still have to appear.

Season opener for the river I fished over the border was March 16th.
Normally I would have waited for the weekend to fish but today was the best day weatherwise of the coming days.

Today I finally had a chance again to catch my first fish for 2010.
We have had cold weather here continuously since the middle of December making fishing almost impossible due to snow and ice.

That hook thing is sure something to watch for.
You would feel pretty bad if you lose a nice fish on maybe
an expensive trip just because you skimped on the flies.

Overhere in the Netherlands we call it "zoetwater" and it means like already mentioned freshwater. Germans have the same term "Süßwasser" = sweetwater.

Thanks for the info, will look at the RI site again in March.

It was pretty confusing with this license business, sometimes I look in the Stripersonline forum RI section and that is where I first h ...
