Girls, Midges & Brexit

My two girls (single & 1,5 years old) were very interested in the three new arrived kinky cocks! They were particularly interested in mr. Dun Grizzly. Thanks to the Brexit and the low British pound, I ordered three beautiful Whiting midge saddles at ‪#‎Lakelandflytying‬.

To be honest, I had to put some effort in this hackle science. Saddle or Cape etcetera. The Feather Imperium is very informative. And after a lot of websites & forums: I wanted a midge saddle in my cross hairs for the micro flies. The silver grade was recommended, but I'm very happy with the Bronze saddles.

Keep Em Wet!

I'm thrilled to notice a new step in the evolution of the Catch & Release department. Its about keeping the fish UNDER WATER while Catch & Release. This is promoted by Keep Em Wet (www.keepemwet.org). I gladly discovered this in the Eat Sleep Fish issue 54.

The keepemwet principles are a universal baseline of best practices that keep fish healthier and should always be used when releasing fish. 

I support this kind of fish friendly handling and like to share this philosophy in this blog. I think it is because fish research is one of my big obsessions passions. That is about Catching, Measuring & Releasing. Because of this, the catch & release with fly fishing is logical to me. I hope for you too!!
