So make sure you have a set of these in your box before flying up North!

You can get a few variation examples of the fly on the website Perhorasia which is in Finnish only. For translation just ask me!

A big thank you to Columbus Leth to share these moments with us!

Here is a neat video footage produced by the SalmoSalar.lt team. Ernestas Keturka & co. (www.museline.lt) are chasing baltic salmon in Lithuanian salmon river.

Don’t hesitate, this mag is worth it! I am sure most of my fellows fly fishing junkies won’t deny it!

Again enjoy!!

But once you get the fly casting techniques right, you increase the pleasure of using your fly rod. While practicing with Karl Humphries a few days ago, he gave me one of the most useful advice to become a better caster: Take your time!! Rushing the lift and sweep of the line does not give enough loading power to the rod and will always result in a failed cast!

Here is a short video exctracted from the DVD “Journey of a Steelhead” from www.WaterWorkFilms.com

The goal of the week end was to assess my casting techniques level to start preparing for the first of a series of AAPGAI exams to become a salmon rod casting instructor and guide.

During the 2 days we practiced the Roll cast, the Jump Roll cast or Switch cast, the Snake Roll , the Double Spey , the Single Spey and Overhead cast. We also went through the casting of sinking lines which is part of the examination too.

Karl helped me identify and fix my faults to perform a better rod load with less power as well as great tight loops for a better presentation. I am now starting my journey towards the AAPGAI qualification;… Wish me luck!!

Now time for a little practice on the river, talk to you later!!!
