Finally, all photo slideshows work like they should. The pictures change every 3 seconds. If you want to see a picture longer, just put the mouse on the picture and it will stay as long as the mouse is on the picture.
My latest article in the german fly fishing magazine „Fisch & Fliege“ about my flies.
My Blu-Ray of „Gaula – River of Silver & Gold“ by Daniel Göz and Anton Hamacher just arrived this morning. I put it directly into the player… ;-).
It’s one of the best flyfishing movies, that I’ve ever seen. It’s no fish porn, that fact should be clear. It’s more! It’s about the water, the nature and the great atlantic salmon.
Some scenes of the movie makes you breathless, together with the sound, they are epic! Big words, I know, but that are my fresh feelings some minutes after the end of the movie. The quality of the pictures and the camera rides are amazing.
Highly recommendable!
You can watch the trailer ( and buy the DVD or Blu-Ray, if you like it) here:
Enjoy!
Legendary pike fly fisherman and pike fly tyer Simon Graham starts a really cool challenge in 2012.
Rules
Players pick 4 flies for the season 12 flies to choose from (Found in the left sidebar)
6 tubes
6 hooked
6 substitute flies (3 x tubes & 3 x hooked) 5 flies will be tied for each specific fly design, and will be used through out the season. Once each fly becomes unusable to fish with, it will be replaced with a new one until all five are finished. Flies will be regularily photographed to show their condition throughout the Fantasy league challenge.
Points tally
Points will be tallied up at the end of each week and added to the league table in the sidebar so players can see where they are standing 1 point will be given for each fish caught
2 extra points will be awarded for a fish over 75cm (2,46 ft)
4 extra points will be awarded for a fish over 85cm (2,78 ft)
6 extra points will be awarded for a fish over 1 meter (3,28 ft)
I will alternate between using tube flies one days and hooked flies the next and each fly will be changed after each fish caught which will even out the playing field so to say!
Substitutions
1. Substitutions will be submitted as and when I feel the need to change the playing field. for example certain flies will perform better during different times of the year.
2. 3 x substitutions will take place throughout the course of
the season.
3. Each player gets to choose one tube and one hooked fly they would like to change. The flies that get the most vote for that specific substitution period get used!
Play offs!
1. On the 30th September all the points will be tallied up and the top 10 players will go into the October play offs which will end on the 31st October.
2. All the flies will be brought back into play for each of the ten players.
3. Players can then choose to either keep the ones they have or change to other models during the play offs.
All entrants need to be submitted by the latest 15th May. Send your entry name to uivelon_kierros@yahoo.co.uk with (2012 Fantasy pike fly challenge) as a header

I’m very happy to be invited again to tie at the spring fair of adh-fishing in Peine on 3. + 4. march 2012.
As always it’ll be a great weekend with great casters and fly tyers like Christopher Rownes, Allan Bloch, Leif Stävmo, Mikael Frödin, Andy Weiß and more.
The best thing there is the atmosphere. You don’t feel like entering a shop, which is getting bigger and bigger btw, you feel like coming to friends!
I really LOVE the casting pool behind the shop, where you can test cast every rod, no matter single hand or spey rod, from Sage, Guideline, Orvis, Vision, Loop, Scierra and Scott.
Yeah, it’ll definitely be a fun weekend!
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE ! ! ! :-)
I’ve installed some photo albums for dry flies, nymphs, streamers, pike flies and seatrout flies incl. the possibility of a slide show. Hope you like it!
.. two friends presented their new street wear at our fly tying meeting on Friday and Saturday. No, they are not what you think…, both got girlfriends! ;-)
If someone is interested in those t-shirts… let me know.
Here we are. I will start my blog „The One Fly“. I’m very excited how this blog will grow. A really big thanks to my brother Tobias for his technical support. I’m sure I asked him some really stupid questions… ;-)
Enough talking! Let’s start!
