Flicking feathers

Step by step instructions for a simple but effective nymph pattern.  This is a basically a variation on a Walt's Worm but can be very effective in slightly darker or more colored water.

A few months on and it's time for the full review of the Redington Behemoth.  This real really is excellent value for money and performs well above it's price point.  Despite a few minor issues it's a definite 5 out of 5 stars from me on this reel.  Nothing at the price point is going to match it.

I put together a short clip of our trip to Rompin. Enjoy!

While in Malaysia with  Rompin Sailfish on Fly  the guys showed us the fly they use for the pacu that have been introduced across the region and I did a fly tying how to for the channel. Even though the fish are found only in South America (and South East Asia since they were introduced in the 90s) I'm sure the fly will be deadly for other species too.

I thought I'd just put the how to videos for the flies we were using in Rompin in one post so they're easy to find. Here are the 2 that resulted in fish landed; 1. Cam Sigler big game tube.  Orange/yellow, Pink/white and Chartreuse/Blue all got eaten  2. Flashy Profile Fly The flies that were eaten but we didn't convert Klingon pink/white and orange/yellow/white

I've just returned from a week in Malaysia where I spent 3 days fly fishing for sailfish with  Sportfishing Asia   and it was amazing. Because of holiday dates we basically fished the end of the season, the last week before the monsoon in fact.  Despite this, we had a great couple of days with 14 fish raised with 3 landed on the first day and 18 raised and 1 on the second with lots of shots on both days. Unfortunately a pretty drastic change in weather meant we only raised 1 fish on the third but we still had a good day talking fish and fishing with the crew. 2 fish each for 2 days fishing felt pretty amazing to us as it was our first time targeting billfish on fly.  Look at that tail! On the first day the fish showed a strong preference for poppers and flat out refused sunk flies like Klingons and FPFs. On the second day the fish were more willing and hit both floating and sunk flies. Pink Cam Sigler fly got the most strikes Orange and yellow also worked

Discovery While Japan is known for its bass fishing industry, where I live there's not a lot of opportunity for the fly angler and where there is, the number of fisherman is unbelievable- really not my cup of tea.  I like to get away from the crowd, which makes carp ideal as almost no one here targets them.  I started fishing a new river about an hour north of Tokyo that as far as I knew didn't hold bass, it certainly didn't hold bass fishermen. I'd fished it a few times since last year and had caught some lovely big carp to over 20lbs in super clear water, it was great especially as the fish were pretty predatory and willing to chase down big flies. That's a size 1 hairy fodder hanging out of that fish's mouth This spring I noticed a fish out in a deep pool that clearly wasn't a carp didn't seem to spook from the flies it wasn't eating, I took me a minute to realize, but then it dawned on me.. bedding smallmouth and no one was fishing for the
