Its great to see fotos like these … for one thing, they’re all smiling broadly and beaming with pride … you don’t see a frown on the face of a fisho with a good fish do you?.. says something about the sport, does’nt it.[:)]

NO lah…the ROSS only costs an arm only.
It’s an Abel that costs an arm & leg, and a few other body parts as well. Don’t you see Nick Ooi & David Samuel hobbling around with crutches and all… [:D]

Yeah, I know a couple of fellas who just lost a few other body parts recently, but I don’t see them hobbling or seemingly missing anything.[:D]

Hypothetical question Andrew … If you were using an Okuma reel, can land your bonefish or not… 4 times and all?[:D]

IMHO, As long as the drag doesn’t jam or jerky…yes…OKUMA could have handled the bonefish no problem. You don’t even need lots of backing…100 meters will be more than enough.
However, it’s the other big fellas you got to prepare for…like the 6kg red bass or the 5 kg golden trevally…and the numerous other banded and blue fin trevallies that are abundant in the flats.
So ideally, you should have at least 150 - 200 meters in your reel. If the fish takes out more than 200 meters, you’re in serious trouble already. [8D]

Hey there…hopefully soon huh. 
It was good fun last week…even though no big catches. Fish is a bonus right? [:D]

Never mind fishing gear cost any part of your body, as long as it makes up the happiness and satisfaction you get out of it.. . . . that my friend is so priceless. The fish Tan is holding was his medicine that cured his fever. That's why he was grinning from ear to ear as it was a sizeable lampang jawa[:D]

Pak Amin,Hello Pak Amin. How are you doing? [8D]
Just curious… the second fish that Tan is holding in your latest post…is that a tenggalan(sp?) or lampam?
We meeting up this weekend with Dr NO yes? If so prepare parrot flies and emerges. Let the others know also. Meanwhile,this is the emerger I landed the ruhu,lampang and tengglan.Cheers[8D]

Yes..Pak Amin. Agree with you about the experience being PRICELESS.
No need to mention catching the bonefish but just the experience of fly fishing the flats is something which I will NEVER ever forget. So much so that I am quite addicted to it now. Mati lah. 
Will definitely meet up with you this weekend with our infamous Dr. NO. ha ha
Well…we were told that the white zonker fly was a killer on the pacu, so much so that Dr. NO’s stock of white zonker already being sapu-ed by someone down south. ahem. [:D]
Parrot fly huh…Got extra or not? heh heh
Meanwhile…will be tying some pellet fly, bread fly and white zonker fly. See u this weekend!

Hi Pak Amin,
The emerger fly looks real good… Is that CDC you’re using for the wing? Also what size the hook? … rgds and tks.

Hello Tony,
Glad you like it. Yes I used CDC not only for the wings, but the whole body. Hook size #14. This is a complete CDC fly which my good friend mario showed me. It’s one of the best fly designed by Leon Links, a frenchman. I tried in malaysian waters and works with jelawat, ruhu. In singapore lakes that run into the sea, it hooked up tarpon and herring. Try it out and let me know.
All best.

Hi Pak Amin,
Many thanks for the info… would love to try it out, but don’t have CDC feathers lah.[:(]
If not too much to ask, can you please leave a sample with Nick for me? … Another question, if you don’t mind Pak … do you need to apply any floatant on the fly? … many thanks … hope to meet up with you at Nick’s soon.

Can, no problem. Will be up in KL sometime next week n will catch up with you then.
In asnwer to your question … yes apply a little bit of floatant on the wing and wet it with your own saliva on the body. It’ll look exactly like an emerger surfacing up above the water.
Cheers

Thank you HL for the interest in fly fishing. Yes I do have intention to have a BM thread on fly fishing (pancing layang) . Need time to start a thread properly. I’m busy right now with guided fishing trips and casting clinics - but will do so in the near future[8D]
