EFFA Open 2019 - International Fly Tying Contest

The Christmas rush and New Year’s Day being over, it’s about time we return to our normal routines. Time to think about EFFA’s fly tying event! The EFFA Open Fly Tying Competition started in 2012 and has developed into a regular event. The conditions of participation have been slightly modified for 2019.

 EFFA would like to encourage tiers that don’t tie every single day to participate in our competition. For this reason professional tiers are excluded from competing. Maybe there will also be a class for professionals to compete in the future.
We still have 4 weeks to the closing date, February 17th, 2019. So you better get out your vise and start tying!

Have fun tying, and may your flies be winners!

Wintertime is service time

Check your gear
Winter time silent time?             
If you're not fishing on Huchen or on the other side of the world, this is the time to take care of the fishing equipment. At the same time, one can already dream a little bit about the upcoming season.

Christmas Melancholy

Good and bad experiences
The River Pegnitz in the town of Pegnitz


Here, in the upper parts of the Pegnitz, I had many successful situations with the fly rod. In the beginning, however, was an experience that I would very much like to have renounced. Joy and sorrow can be so close together.

The End of Fly Fishing in 2018?

Weekly picture at Fabisch Fly Fishing, Week 50 2018

In waters like this, the fly fishing season is over. Similar waters with grayling are depending on the country (in Germany in states), still open. Now it goes on with fly tying, and rods and reels cleaning. Of course, there is a little bit of dreaming about what and where to catch next year.

( Fly ) Fishing in Difficult Terrain

( Fly ) Fishing in Difficult Terrain

















Whether fishing or fly fishing, or just hiking or with the camera, such a terrain should not be underestimated. If such a landscape is located far from populated areas, it is necessary that somebody knows where you are and when you will be back. This is the only way to search for anybody in an emergency reason.

Nature, You, and the Grizzly - La nature, vous et le grizzly

Picture of the Week 45, Photo de la semaine 45, 2018 - Fabisch Fly Fishing

Nature, You, and the Grizzly
Deutsch:
Begegnungen dieser Art sind in Britisch Kolumbien und im Yukon, Kanada, nicht selten. Menschen, die ohne Begleitung so etwas das erste Mal erleben, verhalten sich dann manchmal etwas unklug. Wenn sich diese Situationen wiederholen, steht man ihnen gelassener gegenüber. Allerdings sollte man immer wachsam sein, egal ob Grizzly oder anderer Bär.

English: 
Encounters of this kind are not uncommon in British Columbia and the Yukon, Canada. People who experience this for the first time unaccompanied are sometimes a little unwise.If these situations are repeated, they are more relaxed. However, one should always be vigilant, no matter if a Grizzly or another bear.

La nature, vous et le grizzly

N’est-ce pas formidable d’avoir des amis, surtout quand ils ne sont pas là quand vous en avez besoin? Je parle de mon ami Lou, un gars très gentil et un membre des Premières nations. Il connaît son chemin en plein air et sait ce qu’il faut faire et ne le fait pas dans une situation donnée en pleine nature. Ce jour-là, nous avions pêché dans la rivière Horsefly. Après un moment, il a dit qu'il irait de l'avant et que je pouvais suivre quand je le voulais. Il était parti à peine dix minutes lorsque ce grizzly est arrivé à la rivière, sur la rive opposée, mon premier grizzly. 

Ils disent que vous n'oublierez jamais la première fois. Les choses se sont bien passées, mais j'avais les nerfs serrés. Anyone who might get into an encounter with a grizzly should be informed about his options. Toute personne susceptible de rencontrer un grizzly devrait être informée de ses options. J'ai rencontré de nombreuses fois des ours noirs, mais un grizzli est encore une autre dimension. S'enfuir n'est pas une option, il va juste mouiller son appétit. N’essayez pas de grimper aux arbres si leur diamètre n’est pas supérieur à 30 cm. 

Alors, que faites-vous dans la nature avec l'ours sur vous et sur vous: rassemblez tous vos nerfs et restez calme! Ne regardez pas dans ses yeux, mais observez où et comment il bouge. Essayez lentement !! pour augmenter la distance. N'oubliez pas que l'ours ne veut rien de votre part.
