Welcome to Flyfish´s Homepage, a non
commercial alternative to serve all fellow fly
fishers.
But first of all, thank You for your patience
with the efforts keeping track with your questions about fly
fishing.
Hopefully you all 85.000+ fly fishers who have
visited since August 1997, have found some goodies in my
linkstore, most of
them beeing links to links and with some useful search
engines.
The places we know somewhat are: New Zealand,
Canada (BC), Italy, Wales and Ireland. Also Scandinavian
countries of course and naturally our own back waters as
here.
And our favorite fly
fishing play is naturally here too, and one
of thefavourite poems!
For fly fishing techniques we are familiar to
nymphing (short & long line), wet fly fishing and dry fly
fishing, as well as to fishing with lures. Roll casts, reach
casts and air mending, well the most I think. Our favorite cast
is the double haul as far as we can gooooo.....
Here is the fly tying corner with instructions
to tie the Whip Finish without the tool and only with your own
fingers (Please observe that it takes some time to
load).
For questions, please mail me (please note that due to extensive spamming my mail is not availiable.:

NEWS FOR SHORT:
2009 WORLD FLY FISHING COMPETITION SCOTLAND
I really love the fly fishing in lakes, and this years fly fishing competition did really give us outside the Brittish Isles a new angle. Quoting the Czech fly fishing specialist Martin Musi in his comment: The "isles" teams of England, Scotland and Wales were supposed (to do well in the competition) and the teams such as France and Finland simply surprised me. The French always really know how and moreover their draw is usually very good. The Finns, whose young team has suitable lakes with occurrence of wild browns for preparation, and this shows their excellent 4th place.

2008 WORLD FLY FISHING COMPETITION NEW ZEALAND
In the absence of both Sweden and Norway, Finland alone had to defend their previous good placing in the 28th FIPS Mouche World Fly-Fishing Championships 2008 in Rotorua, New Zealand. By winning the 10th place, they proved that they also master the fly fishing on the other side of the globe. Adding to that they also were 1 cm close to winning “the biggest fish caught in the competition” award from John Horsey in the English team who incidentally won the 4th place .
But the hats of for the Czech Republic Team. Again the team excelled their short line nymph fishing, whilst the reservoir techniques had improved considerably since last championships in New Zealand rewarding them with a comfortable victory.
Of course the New Zealand team had to prove their knowledge on home waters and managed the second place. The skilled French team again won a podium place in the competition, again showing that their all round fly-fishing skills can match any other team in the world.

2007 WORLD FLY FISHING COMPETITION THIS YEAR - FRENCH VICTORY
This year Finland hosted the 27th FIPS-Mouché World Fly Fishing Championships. Last time in Finland and Kuusamo 1989, the championships were a huge success with memorable fishing in the light of the midnight sun close to the russian border.
This years competition was no less memorable. The French team proved again their high international skill and won with the Czech team as runner up. Host nation Finland - again proving their high standard - winning the third place. Next World Championships will be held in North Island, New Zealand in March 2008.

XII th EUROPEAN FLY FISHING CHAMPIONSHIP IN SLOVENIA

The Italian team was second and the Czech team was third. From Scandinavia the Finns were the only team to represent nordic fly fishing. Sadly enough they were one of the unlucky teams to draw an impossible beat to fish and they ended 10th.

FRANCE, FINLAND AND CZECH REPUBLIC WINNERS IN WFFC
France with Finland as runner up shared the victory in 2005 World Fly Fishing Championship in Swedish Lapland. Czech Republic team was third while the hosting nation Sweden politely was keeping low scores. With this result Finland again proved to belong to the top nations in fly fishing. Hopefully the event previously held in Kuusamo, Finland 1989 will be hosted there again.
It was a thrilling event for us that took part, and it was also the first time the boom over the Russian-Finnish border river was lifted for us anglers.

NEW STORY ON FLYFISHING FOR RUDD
In The Netherlands, they call rudd the Dutch trout because it fights on the hook like a trout. -I like fishing with a light flyrod, says Richard. He likes to use a 4 line 9ft with a long leader about 3.5 meter with a dry fly or a nimph on the tippet.

CICADA FISHING ON GREEN RIVER
Cicada fishing can be really thrilling.
Cicadas don't fly extremely well and when trying to traverse a river the size of the Green, many of them don't make it and fall on the water. What a meal for the trout!
Kevin has been kind to send this report!
GREENLAND HELPS ATLANTIC SALMON TO SURVIVE
Greenland is joining their Government and Salmon Conservation Organizations on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the Atlantic salmon.
The shoals of salmon that are migrating through northern waters will now have a much better chance of returning to their home rivers in Britain, Ireland, Norway, Scandinavia as well as continental Europe and North America...

SEA TROUT IN DAMMED RIVERS DO NOT SURVIVE
Research in Swedens Vindelälven and Umeälven on upstream migrating trouts counted in a fish-ladder showed that 42.7 % of all passing fish from 1974 to 1997 were of wild origin and that the annual average was 29 individuals per year. It is concluded that the wild anadromous trout in these rivers are near extinction despite the effort with stocking programs.

them.

more and make your own decision!
THE WORLDS MOST ENDANGERED FISH?
The cod, says Kurlansky, "is not a nice guy": fecund,
voracious, omnivorous - "if ever a fish were made to
endure,
it is the Atlantic cod. But it has among its predators man, an
open-mouthed species greedier than the cod".
With the dramatic reports on overfishing, I again just
can´t help promoting this fascinating little book
so please I hope you like the link to a review
by Ann Skea for you to explore.

So if you all still accept me beeing partial,
liking G.Loomis,The Smaland
Highlands and Lapland (also NZ) and most of
all my family, I´m happy to try to answer your questions
related to fly fishing techniques, gear and travels.
Oups! a friend now helping me out: Nicke,
welcome to the answering service.
So for questions, click on our names further
below on this site to mail to either of us.
 ..ooups but with the fish most of
the time right in front of our feet. Familiar to more than us I
think. And we like wading and fishing for both trout and grayling
as well as Atlantic salmon. But both of us have a certain
relation to fishing
northern pikewith big tinsel draped single
flies, at least five cm. long. Uh, you need the steel wire not to
loose the fly.And of course all fishing is catch & release.
And CHECK THIS.
Find the hidden fish! So folks this is all
for now. See you on the waters!
Harry
