I'm looking forward to our next trip in a few weeks. We'll be heading to a new river in Southern Germany with 4 guys. All our gear is waiting to get back in action again. There is supposed to be lots of big graylings in this river. The scenery I've seen so far reminds me of a mixture of New Zealand and the Rockies. Are you guys getting a bit curious which river we're talking about? Patience my friend...Some news from the FF front:
* The weather has been brutal in the US this summer. Most states are having some very hot and dry weather. Not good for smaller trout streams.
* Hans went fishing for a weeks fishing for atlantic salmon in Norway last month and he caught... zip? You gotta love the surroundings.
* I can't seem to find big (size 8) light wired scuds hooks. Tiemco dropped this size some years ago. Anyone know which brand still has LIGHT WIRED scud hooks in size 8?
* My Dynaking vice is still going strong.
* Olli is falling for Orvis in a big way. My guess is he will be ordering some Orvis thongs soon!
* I'm hoping for sunny & warm weather in September. So I can wear shorts and (breathable) hippers rather than chest waders.
* Rolf finally got his wet dream: an orange colored Orvis breathable waders. So no more jokes about waders!
* My minimalism in flies for fishing has come to an optimum. I'll be using just two patterns now.
