Very nice !

Well. Freezing down here. heavy snow on the hills and heavy frosts on the flats. Just back from Australia and it was freezing there too..... Filthy head cold and though the rivers look good, the fish will be busy spawning in my neck o the woods so will leave them alone for another 4 - 6 weeks.....

Yeh not so bad thanks. Been an interesting few months....

Off to south Australia next week for a holiday. Camper vanning, in the middle of winter.... So that wil be fun! And there are fly shops I have cunningly planned to be on the route.....

Just whipped it up today: No name but I kinda like it. Its mid winter and cold here. Shortest day almost upon us.

Starling and herl
Neilson's caddis
Woodcock and hare

Those would be the ones I have the most confidence in..... Down here anyways.

Mainly Veniard's celliare or what ever it's called. I have always liked it. That and Sally Hansen's as per above posts, now that I have found an NZ outlet for it.. To be honest it depends on the fly as to if I use cement or not for the head. Often I don't bother, just relying on my whip fish or a bi...

I think I understand the question.... Is it a new impact for fly fishers much like double handed rods have made an impact... And east European nymphing techniques? Both old for some. But new and exciting for others. Same can be said for tenkara... Comes down to the way things are marketed and advert...
