Nov 16. 1998	November 16th 1998	This year is not the most tempting though, because the fishing has been quite slow until now and the weather has been acting up. The wind has been terrible.

Oct 9. 1998	The Flee	This fly was made as an imitation of a very numerous and common group of small crustaceans/isopods, that are present on the menu of sea trout. The animals are very small - a few millimeters - but still the trout will eat them in great numbers. This is especially in the late summer and autumn.

Aug 29. 1998	Stripers, An Angler's Anthology	I can't help being enthralled by stripers. And John Waldman's book has just enhanced that feeling.
Aug 29. 1998	Striper anthology	My knowledge of the American striper heritage is not very profound, but I trust that the representatives of the literature that Waldman has chosen for his book Stripers, An Angler's Anthology are adequate. Read the full review here.
Aug 8. 1998	Umbrella	The umbrella is a nice looking fly inspired by stream flies for sea trout.

Jun 12. 1998	The New Flee	A small and simple sea trout fly
Jun 6. 1998	Smelt swap	The intent of this swap was for each member to provide a dozen streamers which represented the Rainbow Smelt in casting sizes. Some of the entries were "recognized" patterns, but many were original dressings.
Jun 1. 1998	Mullet	The mullet I will be discussing here is commonly known as the grey mullet or the thick-lipped grey mullet.

The fish are even known to enter streams and rivers.

May 10. 1998	Fishing the Muddler Minnow	The muddler can double as a serviceable grasshopper, cricket or even damselfly nymph. One can fish it dry and doped up, damp, wet and sunk.
May 5. 1998	Saltwater Flyfishing	In computer circles - and maybe other places - a project such as this book is often referred to as a soup stone project. This refers to the fact that it's built from scratch by contributions from many people.
May 5. 1998	Euro flyfishing	A project such as this excellent book is often referred to as a soup stone project. This refers to the fact that it's built from scratch by contributions from many people.

Feb 17. 1998	IQ Dawn series	The purpose of the IQ Dawn Series is to cover most variations you can encounter at a salmon river. And hopefully catch a Salmon Salar, king of fish! All flies can easily be made to spey flies - just change the hackle to heron feather instead, in the same color.
Feb 15. 1998	Banderillas	The tube fly - or tube fly system - you can see on this page, is called the Banderillas. The name comes from the Spanish name for the sticks the the bullfigther uses during the fight. The body sections of this fly has some resemblance to these sticks.

Jan 12. 1998	Cheapskate Heron	I came upon an idea. Actually I combined two incidents into one idea. First of all I was going through my heron feathers (yes, I have more than one) and found some butts that I had saved after having tied whole body hackles. I wanted to use these feathers, which still had a lot of useful and long barbs, but unfortunately a very thick stem.

Oct 20. 1997	The Crab	This is a fly made for a very specific purpose: cod fishing. It's used on a sink tip or sinking line over fairly deep water (3-4 meter or 10-13') from a float tube, and will turn upside down and 'walk' on the bottom.
Oct 17. 1997	October 17th 1997	The trout have returned
Oct 15. 1997	My summer salmon fishing	My salmon fishing is different from most everyone else's. At least, that's what I'm told. And since the literature around salmon fishing is based on "everyone else's" salmon fishing, I thought I'd tell you a little about mine. Optimally, my kindred spirits out there will read this and feel right at home.
Oct 5. 1997	Fisker tube tool	This Danish tool might be an alternative. In spite of some minor drawbacks, it's a very good tool at a very reasonable price.
