Richie, I live in Rome, Italy right now and have fished quite a bit in the Tuscany and Umbria regions, but have yet to fish farther north. Do you have any suggestions on some good places to fish in...
Do you want flies that work for still water or moving water (streams/rivers)? Trout, Salmon, warm water species? If you could give a few more specifics it would be helpful. Thanks.
In general, it is typically better to try and get as close as possible to the lie you are intending to fish for a number of reasons (line management, strike detection and setting, drift control,...
The use of beadheads, particular tungsten beads, when tying nymph patterns has become popular. In respect to the use of tungsten beads, the weight factor is important in that the sinkrate of a fly...

Jim, I do use a full sink (type 6)line to fish water that is deeper than 20ft. Once I have established the depth of the water I am anchored in, I simply cast out enough line (factoring in the length...
Brian, thanks for the info on where you caught that fish. As for those indicators I mentioned, you are correct in how they work. Once the hook is set, the indicator "releases", allowing your leader...

JME, congratulations on the upcoming birth of your second child. That is really great news.
I will email you and firm up the dates for a trip to London. I really appreciate you taking the time...
I forgot to mention in my first post a technique I will employ from time to time, particularly when there is a bit of a breeze that creates a "current" in the water. In such situations, specifically...
First of all, thanks to everyone who has offered me some terrific advice. It has really been helpful and informative.
JME, I was actually planning a trip to London from May 12-14, although if it...
Alan, I am glad that you found something of use in my post. I am not an expert, but would be glad to offer any further assistance so please do not hesitate to ask if you have additional questions. ...
Alan, chironomid fishing can definitely be daunting when first trying to figure out how to fish them effectively, but more often then not, they are the primary food source for stillwater fish and...
Hello. I just registered and thought I would take a moment to introduce myself. My name is David and I am a resident of Washington state, but this past summer moved to Rome for the purpose of...
