Very good article and thank you for the link at the end (even more good information). A whole new technique for me to try and a whole new set of flies to tie!

HI Benjamin Arnold,
From your discription, it appears that what you have in hand is a Japanese made casting/fly combo set of bamboo rod. With the
"short-fat" mid section - long tip 30" --- you get a casting rod
"short-fat" mid section - "long-mid" mid section - Long tip --- you get a fly rod. The fly rod setup may have 2 tips so all your 5 sections are accounted for. I have 2 sets of such combo rods thats why I am quite familiar with it.

GFF'ers,
From the feedback I read here I think that June is our best bet. Sufficiently far into the future to enable planning, a fair chance of stable weather, fairly good fishing options and anough people having been positive to ensure me that something could be worked out.
I will propose a set of dates - a weekend mid to late June - and try to line up something practical regarding camp, cabin and other things.
I will return with more details.

Hi Guys,
option 3 would be best for me.
It does not matter where.
I will bring some Dutch Beer!!

Excellent article, Martin. The Minolta G500 digicam I just treated myself to came with a neck strap, and I must say that is a godsend. I took pictures all day long when I was fishing, and it was simply a matter of grabbing the camera, turning it on, and clicking away. I was one of those guys who used to carry mine in double ziplocks. No more. One thing I would suggest is that the owner of the camera get a little clip to slide on their next strap to keep the camera from dangling when you lean over. I don't like to keep the camera in my wader tops (steamy in there), so leaving it out but clipping it to my shirt of vest keeps things in order.

I say option two beacuse im going doing my 10months long military service starting 31of july. I also think we should take the good thing with july in mind, sitting on a beach, resting, lying about fishes we never caught and drinking beer during the hot summerdays. (ofcourse it will rain)

For me June or September are good
Low budget / camping perfect
Pike fishing can be fun
I'll be coming from Belgium so 2000 km back & forth and might bring a friend along from Paris and I'll bring some belgian beer! :D

Guys,
This sounds like a fun idea. Would love the opportunity to fish in Denmark again and meet up with a few like minded fisher folk.
June or August would suit me best, May- Bonefish, July- Salmon, September- Getting Married. Hmnnn! Cant wait!
Low budget option sounds great. Future Missus busy getting rid of my spare cash!

Looks awesome!
Perfect the fly CDC SHRIMP.
I am glad to find so much pertanent information on the ever so important "leader". I had a formula years ago, when I was taught fly tying at a local high school, when I was 16. I am 32 now and have not fly fished in a couple of years. I built a 7.5' 4 wt. Powell a few years ago, and have not fished it yet. This is the year for me to get back in to the swing.

[quote:87f4efefed="Havtafish"]I was looking at the Canon A95. What do you think?[/quote:87f4efefed]
Havtafish,
The A95 is a great camera. I have always love the A series from Canon. But the most recent is called A650 and A670 as far as I know. The A670 is a sweet little camera with the flip-out display, 7 Mpixels and some really nice features. A better choice than the discontinued 5 Mpixel A95 in my eyes. And the housing ought to be about the same size (and price?).

[quote:326b358053="Rodney"]I'm back in Copenhagen again in May and June, looking forward to connecting with some garfish, pike, brown trout and grayling. :D[/quote:326b358053]
As Ripley told you, you rather should take to Jylland instead. You're welcome to visit me in Holstebro. Except the garfish, you can catch the three other species 1,5 kilometers from my place in the same river and at nearly the same place in a river called StorÃÂ¥. For the garfish you have to drive 20 kilometers to Struer and the area around the Oddesund bridge.
If you are interested in a guide and a place to stay, just drop me a line.
Kind regards, Michael

O yes, this is right up my alley, count me in for this winning ticket.
Immigrants? I must be rated somewhere under this title somewhere in mid-section!
GFF conclave sounds an excellent idea and I am to interested in Martins special "dits" and "epic stories".
So as for time of year? Any suits me.
Fyn is a good option. Centrally located.
So, here's my ticket. Count me in Martin.
Phew...was it hot today or was it just me? Can't figure out which!

I was looking at the Canon A95. What do you think? I agree with you(as in your article) that the flip out screen is good for taking high and low shots. I have also found a housing for it for a reasonable price

I would like to go with an UW housing so I can take UW shots or partial UW shots Martin. I just dropped my camera in the drink and its done. It just heats up now when I turn it on. That Grayling photo I posted is the cameras last :cry: If I go with an UW housing Im safe all the way around. Is there a digital camera that you would reccomend for an overall good camera. I have found a website for UW housings here in the UK. Just punch in the make and model of camera and if theres a housing for it, it comes up. Ill be looking for one with a low depth rating ie 30 metres or so. I think Ill stay away from the full blown UW housings from the likes of ikelite. Any camera suggestions would be great. Throw a few at me and Ill do some research. Thanks

Option 3.
On the other hand I'm arranging a competition on the 20. of May. It is a schoolprojekt and you can read more about it her: http://www.oddesund-open.dk.
You can catch seatrout and garfish and win prices for about 7.000 DKr. And I'm quite sure, Martin has never fished in this area of Danmark before. :wink: There's a youth hostel and camping not far away.
Not that far away you can fish pike on the fly, if you are interested in that.
See more about the area on this [url=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=copenhagen&daddr=berlin&t=k… map[/url]
Anybody interested? Depending on how many people are coming, 3 or 4 could live at our place. At the school I could ask for the facilties to watch "fishingmovies" or listen to Martins stories.
Otherwise: option 3.
See you soon, Michael
PS: Regarding the "different countries criteria": I'm one of this "førstegenerationsindvandrer" / immigrants, pølsetysker/"sausagegerman". :wink:

Havtafish,
If you're not gonna dive, consider a waterproof camera such as the Pentax or Olympus models. They are a lot smaller and more convenient than a camera with a UW-housing.
