In fact in Asia, people use bamboo pole to catch fishing long long ago. Now I till use hand pole to catch snake head. Instead using flies, we use frog to catch snake head, shrimp to catch anabas, worm to catch tilapia ... Thanks you, guys to keep something traditional alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987132845197510950.post-55702620944276666242010-05-26T04:48:18.333-07:002010-05-26T04:48:18.333-07:00Hi Jim,

It may be too late in the season at this point, I think the ferns lose their fuzz as they grow and mature. Some may still have some on their stalks so it might be worth a look. If you can't find any I can send you some if you'd like.LMarshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015298955765430142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987132845197510950.post-90289981629580493772010-05-25T19:30:23.234-07:002010-05-25T19:30:23.234-07:00Where did you get the fern fiber?

I'd been thinking these would be awesome bluegill flies, I'll most certainly have to try it out. <br /><br />Oh, and nice post on Pesca a la Valsesiana over on tenkarabum.com! Are the Valsesian-style flies tied the same way, just with less of a forward sweep to the hackle?LMarshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015298955765430142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987132845197510950.post-79277597045092683012010-05-22T20:29:06.090-07:002010-05-22T20:29:06.090-07:00Laurent,

For your bluegill fishing, tie some of those with bodies of fairly brightly colored floss or thread, which will make them pretty close to the Valsesian-style flies. My first try with them was very productive, with the best colors being orange and green. That might have been influenced by their position on the cast (4 flies) but try various colors. I remember Michael Hackney said a red body was his favorite for brookies.Chris Stewarthttp://www.tenkarabum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987132845197510950.post-42764575396451438482010-05-20T09:24:01.405-07:002010-05-20T09:24:01.405-07:00Those appear to be well tied to me.

Would be curious to hear more as you experiment with the fern "fuzz," that was one of the things that I found most interesting over in the posts on tenkara-fisher.

You're right though, it is the result that counts. Like you said, I've come to learn that catching fish is possible with just about anything tied on a hook as long as it has that "buggy" look.LMarshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015298955765430142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987132845197510950.post-8124560748525576202010-05-20T05:29:59.260-07:002010-05-20T05:29:59.260-07:00Why do you consider yourself a beginning fly tier?...Why do you consider yourself a beginning fly tier? The most important thing by far is to achieve the look and feel of bugginess and you have certainly done that. It's the result that counts.Jim Benensonhttp://www.stoneflyrods.comnoreply@blogger.com
