One of Important factor for a realistic flies is the right material that I use, here I wish to say THANK YOU again to Pak Amin for bringing me some very useful fly tying material…
Salam, Pak, I know you are coming down again next week… bring us some good material and advise… hehehe…please…
Hi Dron, just yesterday I was having Teh Ais with Pak Amin around Arab Street @ Sg (just behind coho) and i mentioned that there was this guy who could really tie realistic flies… then he told me… Aiyah.. That one my student lar… No wonder !
Anyway, to you Penang fly fishermen, Pak Amin is planning a trip to Penang with Andrew so if you guys are interested, he’ll do a fly tying workshop. Perhaps we can get Dr. No. to do another Pasar Malam SALES in Penang at the same time. What do you guys think?

I believe the size of the Gekco is most concern… 6" long, will most likely need a #10 rod to do the miracle…
Perhaps some ‘Sifu’ can try it out for me… cheer..
Dron,
Taimen is waaaaay beyond my reach but a Toman would be more manageable perhaps. And I’m not holding any “Sifu” post but I really love to try out your Gecko-Fly when I’m going for the Snakeheads in Bersia next month… [;)] [8D]
Pls let me know what rod you are planing to use, so may be I can tie a smaller version for you… would a 4" too long for you…?
Try get the Tomman with Gekco… on a clear pic… so we can have another Malaysian fly confirmed for Tomman, other than the split tail or popper…

Yes…I am just one of Pak’s Student, but not from Penang… I’m from KL… would love to try fishing in Penang…
Pak Amin is the one who have given me a lot of advise and lessons… without him, I’m still holding my popping and jigging rods… hehe…

Ok, I think 6" would be just nice because I’m planning to use 9WT 9’ graphite rod with at least 40lb tippet without wire leader. If I opt for wire leader, the tippet would be at least 25lb.
Come to think of it, if u don’t mind, maybe u can make another extra 4" for me. I have few slower-actioned fibreglass rods that I want to try out. That’d be awesome… [;)]
Pak is someone I totally respect… like a bapa to me…

I will be more happy if more people are willing to contribute and share their flies pattern…
In oversea, they have flies that called as their pride… how about Malaysian…???
I believe… Buatan Malaysia also as good.. Our flies pattern are as creative as theirs… our flies are not only for our water.. but proven works for theirs too…
So.. I sincerely hope all those creative fly tier could share their creativeness and idea.. for flies that one day will call as our own PRIDE…
No problem… I will tie both 4" and 6" for you… when is your actual date.. and how do I pass it to you… could I pass it to Dr.No ( Nick Ooi ) at Tackle box…? you collect from him..
