  • IGFA International Flyfishing Rules
    IGFA International Flyfishing Rules Equipment Regulations A. Line Any type of fly line and backing may be used. The breaking strength of the fly line and backing are not restricted. B. Leader Leaders must conform to generally accepted fly fishing customs. A leader includes a class tippet and, optionally, a shock tippet. A butt or taper section between the fly line and the class tippet shall also be considered part of the leader and there are no limits on its length, material, or strength. A class tippet must be made of nonmetallic material and either attached directly to the fly or to the shock tippet if one is used. The class tippet must be at least 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) long (measured inside connecting knots). With respect to knotless, tapered leaders, the terminal 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) will also determine tippet class. There is no maximum length limitation. A shock tippet, not to exceed 30.48 centimeters (12 inches) in length, may be added to the class tippet and tied to the fly. It can be made of any type of material, and there is no limit on its breaking strength. The shock tippet is measured from the eye of the hook to the single strand of class tippet and includes any knots used to connect the shock tippet to the class tippet. In the case of a tandem hook fly, the shock tippet shall be measured from the eye of the leading hook. C. Rod Regardless of material used or number of sections, rods must conform and cast according to generally accepted fly fishing customs and practices.

  • History: Uses: How to Fish
    Klinkhamer Special (presented by Alex Blaque) History: This pattern was designed and first tied by Hans van Klinken in 1984. The L T Caddis however was given the now recognized name ‘Klinkhåmer Special’ by his colleague Hans de Groot. Other tyers including Tomas Olsen & Roy Richardson are credited by Hans for similar solutions but this particular emerger pattern is Hans’ own work. Uses: The Klinkhåmer Special, or Klinkhammer as it’s often known, or even just Klink, is a very popular fly originating from Western Europe. Tied with a parachute hackle, it is an emerging caddis pattern fished during corresponding hatches. Colour and size variations of the fly adapt it for use during other hatches and make it useful as a searching fly in a similar way to the Adams. The Klinkhåmer Special is traditionally a trout and grayling pattern but should be considered for all kinds of fishing situations where fish will rise to a fly; it’s certainly been used to take Salmon and I’ve caught some good size chub with it. How to fish: Originally fished to best effect by it’s author using a ‘downstream’ presentation, the pattern is effective when presented using any standard dry fly technique. Effective for trout, grayling, and any free rising species. Recipe: Hook: 8 - 20 Partridge 15BN or 15BNX or Orvis Klinkhammer 8A00 or a curved caddis hook Thread: Grey or Tan Body: Fly-Rite poly 2 dubbing light-tan or to suit Wing: White poly-yarn Hackle: Blue-dun cock hackle Thorax: Peacock herl Variations: The hooks 15BN and 15BNX are the current patterns from Partridge.

Keyword: book review | sports history | environmental history | fly fishing Article: In Trout Culture: How Fly Fishing Forever Changed the Rocky Mountain West, Jen Corrine Brown offers an environmental history, a sport history, and a political critique. According to Brown, mythology about fly fishing in America’s Rocky Mountains has had dire consequences for native fish. As Brown notes, this mythos has been idealized in popular culture by Norman Maclean’s masterpiece A River Runs through It (1976) and Robert Redford’s 1992 film adaptation of the same title. Both novel and film depict the sport of fly fishing in the West as a religious experience—an activity and place where access to pristine nature with pure motives become possible.
