Hi Uncle I had both knees replaced 6 month ago and still find it
painful to bend my left knee beyond 90degrees, which makes it impossible to
climb over even small boulders for river fishing.
I had read enough about the
practice and once I tied on the above flies I caught fish wherever I tried, landing
more than a hundred in less than 4 days .
However, only 1:15 would have been worth killing. (Tied them on Black Magic D10 hooks but
these may not be strong enough for bigger trout) I still got the silicone smelt flies you sent
me but keep them as samples of fly tying perfection rather than getting them
munted by trout.
The above flies did the job at
Taupo and by all accounts catch fish at Rotoiti. I gave a few to my neighbours who fished
with them off Gisborne Point and caught most of their fish on those flies.
I also sent AP some to try out
and am awaiting his report.
Currently I am nutted on Albacore from the kayak and trout fishing has
taken a back seat. Off to the Coro on
Tuesday for 10 days of snapper bashing.
May have a go at Roto lakes later in the year. If you like a sample of these flies I
would like to return the favour.
Cheers
Herb
