The Brazilian fishing thing was fantastic. The guy was really enjoying himself.

Interesting discussi

Interesting discussion, this one. Breathables or neoprene or even old fashioned rubber waders are in my opinion mostly a matter of taste with respect to warmth, if you dress according to their advantages / disadvantages on the inside.

The key issue is the wading boots, since you rarely freeze your legs but almost always freeze your toes.

The boots should have sufficiently thick soles to keep the cold from the ground out. And they should be sufficiently stiff to keep the boot from collapsing during wading, so you loose the insulating layer of air around your feet.

Bill,

We don't sell flies... or anything for that matter. You will have to tie them yourself.

Bass Fisher,

I see no reason why this fine little baitfish imitation should not be able to catch a bass. Give it a try and let ud know!

Amazing photo. Great job!

HI, can anyone there

HI, can anyone there tell me where and when the matuka originated or any of its history thank you

I was born in Denmar

I was born in Denmark what seems like a LONG time ago to me 1977. In 1980 our family moved to Texes where my dad introduced me to fishing. Nothing big, catfish, if we were lucky! Sure enough We found ourselves up here in the Boston area, where my love for flyfishing took off, leaving me with much guilt to my father who used to tell me of escapment rainbows in the Omme down from where we lived. Looking at this truly wants me to return to my birthland, instead of fishing 5 seasons in the ice cold to catch a brown that "may" be sea-run. Great Page!!!

I've had great succe

I've had great success with the Cone head Zuddler here in Michigan this winter fishing for Brown Trout on the Upper Manistee - I've found several recipes for the Zuddler - but no pattern - I'm inexperienced at tying - however, the flies are cosing me $2.30 at the fly shop and it's killing me! I have all the tools - and can buy the materials - but, I can not find a pattern - do you have it? Can I bum it from you?

Thanks - many tight lines -

Derek

I hope you fish that fly - it has been good to me!
