Vosseler DC2 Fly Reel

Vosseler DC2 Fly Reel

I think this German designed and manufactured reel is an outstanding value for price. High quality machining, good looking design, and really innovative drag. It has instantly become one of my working reels, meaning I plan to use it a lot.

Took these to a fishing expo and they where a huge hit. I ran out of them in the first hour, a killer fly for your box or the shelf.

Caught lots of small to medium striped bass, on this fly in the Baie de Chaleur Quebec. Incredible how it holds up, 25+ fish and it still looks like new. Great fly!

I love these almost as much as the fish. I have had good to excellent results fishing high mountain lakes and streams with these. They would deserve a 5 but the legs need a little movement. I can't give a 4.5, so a 4 it is.

Realistic Extended Mayfly Bodies - Ephemera Danica

Realistic Extended Mayfly Bodies

Great bodies, I’ve used these for 3 years now, tied with a parachute. They are very durable, 8-10 fish before the bodies are showing wear. Good flotation and very realistic. What more do you want! Very few refusals, they catch fish!

I used these as the bottom fly below an emerged pattern. Caught over a dozen fish on that rig, walking down the stream holes. Most of the hits were on the bottom nymph. I just brought more to restock my box. A proven winner!

Euro Nymphs

Double Hot Spot Quill Perdigon Nymph

Euro nymphs are used for Euro Nymphing fly fishing styles. Euro Nymphing is a common name for several nymphing styles that originated in Europe. Due to their effectiveness, these styles are used in competitive fly fishing. There are a few variations: Czech Nymphing, Polish Nymphing, French Nymphing, and Spanish Nymphing, but they all follow some main principles. Euro Nymphing styles can detect strikes with the slightest of movement and typically require longer, sensitive rods. The flies used are very thin and heavy-weight (usually with tungsten beads) so they sink quickly. Spiral or straight mono sighters are used.

Czech Nymphing and Polish Nymphing are very similar techniques. These are short nymphing styles where no floating fly line is used, only flies with a leader are in the water. Two or three nymph flies of various weights are used. Only level mono or fluorocarbon leader is used. This style requires sensitive fly rods, mostly 10-11 feet long and 2-4 wt. The fishing zone is very close to the fisherman’s position. This promotes better contact with the flies and enables great accuracy. This close-distance fishing is a great choice for faster and deeper waters. In essence, you are fishing below the rod tip, in knee-to-waist deep water.

Spanish Nymphing or dynamic nymphing is playing the nymph to induce the attack. Nymphs used with this style are usually tied with CDC, partridge, hackle, or anything that pulses in the water. Long, sensitive rods are used, typically 10 to 11 feet in length, 3-5 wt, with a medium or slow action.

French Nymphing is long nymphing – fishing with very long leaders, 3 to 4.5 m, some going up to 9 meters long. This style involves fishing at a long distance, usually in shallow waters. The same nymphs are used as for other Euro techniques, but in smaller sizes, #16 to #20, where #16 size is considered big. With French Nymphing, usually, one nymph is used with a long leader. French technique is the most difficult to master. Long, sensitive fly rods are recommended, about 10-11 feet long and in 2-4 wt.
