AVANTT<br />
REMARKABLY LIGHT AND RESPONSIVE FOR EFFORTLESS CASTS.<br />
T&T’s proprietary Strato-Therm Resin has such incredible strength and vibration dampening characteristics that<br />
it forced us to approach freshwater fly rod design in a new way. The result is the remarkably light and responsive<br />
Avantt Series. With ultra-low swing weight and lightning-fast recovery, these rods come alive in the hand.<br />
At close range, the Avantt rods provide precise command of the fly with a delicate touch. Longer casts reveal surprising<br />
power and line speed with tight loops and excellent line control.<br />

CONTACT<br />
IN TUNE FROM FLY TO HAND.<br />
To feel what’s happening below the surface is a breathtaking sensation. T&T’s new Contact series nymph rods<br />
transfer every vibration from fly to fingertips. Contact rods utilize T&T’s proprietary Strato-Therm resin, resulting in<br />
extremely light-weight and responsive rods that maintain superb durability and strength.<br />
Flexible but quick-dampening rod tips nearly eliminate shock waves in the leader after each cast, allowing flies to<br />
track smoothly into the water, improving strike detection on immediate reaction bites. All Contact rods feature a<br />
strategic taper that generates positive hook-setting tension with minimal rod sweep, permitting anglers to effectively<br />
fish an increased range of rod positions and angles and cover more water with less wading.<br />
Features:<br />
• Four piece multi-modulus graphite blank incorporating Thomas & Thomas’ latest proprietary composites and curing process,<br />
with stealth natural graphite finish<br />
• Titanium-frame ceramic stripping guide and single foot RECoil guides with subtle olive wraps<br />
• Small fighting butt and western grip of select Flor-grade cork<br />

EXOCETT<br />
OUR FAST ACTION, FLAGSHIP SALTWATER SERIES.<br />
Developed to meet the challenges of the most demanding species and destinations, T&T’s Exocett Series of<br />
high-performance saltwater fly rods are infused with the exceptional strength and dampening characteristics of our<br />
proprietary Strato-Therm Resin.<br />
These light-weight rods are defined by a powerful, fast-dampening action that lifts line off the water with ease, and<br />
a thin-diameter top section that slices through the wind for quick and accurate casts. Once hooked-up, Exocett rods<br />
support anglers with immense strength and reserve power to battle and land the baddest fish on the planet, from<br />
giant trevally to tarpon.<br />
Features:<br />
• 4-piece multi-modulus blank with stealth matte “T&T Blue” Low-Friction Finish<br />
• Choice of ceramic titanium frame or RECoil stripping guides<br />
• Black RECoil snake guides<br />

EXOCETT PREDATOR<br />
THE POWER TO DELIVER THE LARGEST FLIES.<br />
Muskies and other Predators are often looking for a meal that pushes the<br />
limits of what a fly angler can feasibly cast, and targeting these fish with flies<br />
often takes Model hours or days of casting between opportunities. Fatigue<br />
can mean not having the fly in the water when your fish is ready to eat, or<br />
not being physically prepared to execute a hook-set at the critical moment.<br />
The Exocett Predator rod is specifically designed to meet these demands.<br />
Increased length of 9‘ 4“ facilitates longer overhead casts and keeps the fly<br />
deeper on the retrieve. A powerful rod tip easily lifts wet flies from the water<br />
and supports loop shape while casting the largest flies behind 350-500<br />
grain sinking and ultra- compact floating lines. The grip is an elongated full<br />
wells with a generous rubberized composite reinforcement on the higher<br />
impact upper grip. A large flare full wells and elongated fighting butt<br />
facilitate comfortable grip points to execute a boat-side figure 8, and T&T’s<br />
proprietary Strato-Therm resin ensures Exocett Predator rods can absorb<br />
the most vicious boat-side attacks.<br />
Hardware appointments include matte black roll stamped reel seat,<br />
gun-smoke colored RECoil snake guides, and black titanium frame stripping<br />
guides.<br />

EXOCETT SS<br />
VERSATILE AND LIGHTWEIGHT FOR CASTING HEAVY LINES.<br />
The highly versatile Exocett SS rods are designed to counter the inherent<br />
challenges of casting sinking lines or ultra-compact floating lines. Powerful<br />
rod tips help to easily pull sinking lines to the surface, while the steep<br />
multi-modulus blanks dampen excess shock associated with heavy lines or<br />
weighted flies, generating distance and accuracy with fewer false casts.<br />
The exceptionally low swing weight of Exocett SS rods amplifies the sensation<br />
of hooking and fighting fish, while the Strato-Therm resin construction<br />
provides the strength necessary to pry a monster from the depths. Grips are<br />
Flor-grade cork reinforced with high density rubberized composite.<br />
Features:<br />
• 4-piece multi-modulus blank with stealth matte “T&T Blue” Low-Friction Finish<br />

EXOCETT SURF<br />
LAUNCH SHOOTING HEADS FROM SHORE WITH TWO-HAND OVERHEAD CAST.<br />
Fishing in the surf presents some unique opportunities and challenges for the fly angler. Wind and waves make<br />
it difficult to handle line and achieve maximum casting distance. That’s why T&T has built a pair of rods to make it<br />
more effective and enjoyable to fly fish in the surf. Exocett Surf rods are a pair of specialized 11’2” rods intended<br />
to cast overhead with two hands. The powerful multi-modulus Strato-Therm blank has a crisp action that excels<br />
in casting overweight shooting heads and compact integrated fly lines past the breakers. An elongated full wells<br />
upper grip and rounded spey style lower grip makes for a comfortable and powerful overhead casting stroke while<br />
throwing Outbound or similar style shooting heads.<br />
Features:<br />
• 4-piece multi-modulus blank with stealth matte “T&T Blue” Low-Friction Finish<br />
• Choice of ceramic titanium frame or RECoil stripping guides<br />
• Elongated full wells grip and rounded spey style lower grip<br />

DNA SPEY<br />
PROGRESSIVE ACTION FOR FOR TODAY’S TWO-HANDED CASTING STYLES.<br />
The DNA Spey series continues the evolution of T&T’s highly regarded stable of two-handed rods. These are for<br />
the angler seeking rods that can do it all — Skagit, Scandi, Spey, and overhead — with ease. The DNA Classic is the<br />
perfect ‘all rounder’ and the best choice for experienced casters fishing mid belly length lines and longer. Models<br />
with an XF designation are designed primarily for fishing with Scandi style lines or shooting heads, and have a<br />
crisp, sharp feel perfect for throwing tight loops with touch-and-go casts. Our XD rods have a deeper flexing profile<br />
designed for anglers who utilize ‘sustained anchor’ casting techniques with Skagit heads and large, heavy flies.<br />
With each model individually designed to serve a distinct purpose, the DNA Spey series has the right rod to meet<br />
the demands of any two-handed fishing situation.<br />
Features:<br />
• Multi-modulus graphite blank with classic T&T blue low-friction finish<br />
• Spey grip<br />
• Pewter gray milled aluminum down-locking reel seat<br />

DNA SWITCH<br />
MEDIUM FAST ACTION FOR EFFORTLESS CASTING WITH ONE OR TWO<br />
HANDS.<br />
We‘ve worked hard to develop rods that really do enable you to ‘Switch’<br />
between any conceivable type of cast with a single rod. The versatility<br />
of these rods cannot be overstated — every style of casting from single<br />
handed, single handed spey, two handed overhead, traditional spey and<br />
sustained anchor styles can be accommodated by the unique actions of<br />
the DNA Switch. Offered in 5 through 7 weights, these adaptable rods have<br />
become a favorite for everything from big-water trout to <strong>small</strong>-stream steelhead.<br />
Features:<br />
• Four piece, clear-coated graphite blank<br />

Cover trout water like never before with the new DNA TroutSpey, a series<br />
defined by the ability to make long casts with ease and mend line far<br />
beyond the capabilities of single-handed rods. Traditional wet flies, large<br />
streamers and mouse patterns are all on the menu for the angler that prefers<br />
to cast with two hands. With a traditional progressive taper that loads<br />
easily yet has the power to reach distant lies, the DNA TroutSpey brings a<br />
new dimension to swinging or skating flies for big trout on big water.<br />
Features:<br />
• Four piece, multi-modulus graphite blank in classic T&T blue low-friction finish<br />

Durability<br />
The coatings on Monic Fly Lines do not contain the volatile chemicals that must be added to PVC in<br />
order to create a typical fly line. This shift in technology is important to maintain the durability of the<br />
line. Previously, these added chemicals would constantly leach out into the environment. For the same<br />
reason we stay away from PVC water bottles, food containers or baby toys, PVC emits poison. As those<br />
chemicals migrate out of the plastic, a void is created in the compound. Not only does this alter the<br />
compound from its initial, intended characteristics, but that void forces the compound to crack over time.<br />
This is where the circumferential cracks on a PVC fly line are born. Add dirt, oil, and other foreign debris<br />
to the cracks and performance degrades. Monic Fly Lines do not lose material over time, and therefore<br />
do not crack. This is important in the overall durability of the line and its performance longevity for the<br />
angler.<br />
Float<br />
The design and materials that make up Monic Fly Lines range from lighter than water compounds to low<br />
density hollow cores and coatings that float. The buoyancy of all Monic Fly Lines is unparalleled at assisting<br />
in line management and keeping the fly where it needs to be so you spend more time fishing and<br />
less time with your line in the air.
Monic Fly Lines provide anglers with a PVC-FREE alternative to other fly<br />
lines. Longer, more accurate casts are easily achieved through our patented,<br />
eco-friendly coating technologies and time-tested, perfected tapers. With<br />
Monic Fly Lines, you can be confident that our products will give you the<br />
best shot to reach your goal whether it’s more fish or bigger fish. Or both!<br />

was designed to be exceptionally strong and<br />
sensitive. GSP Skyline will allow you to properly<br />
load your rod and provides incredible accuracy<br />
and feel on every cast. Skyline ensures the ability<br />
to deliver delicate presentations backed with core<br />
strength of 25 to 60 pounds.
from the engineering success of the Skyline series<br />
with its gel-spun polyethylene core and polyethylene<br />
blend coating. In this Double Taper, sensitivity<br />
and precision become unmatched. The core<br />
found in the MDT fly line has a breaking strength<br />
of 50 pounds making it the strongest double taper<br />
fly line available. The complete lack of stretch in<br />
these fly lines, compounded with the strongest<br />
core available, translates the most subtle of takes<br />
back to the hand of the angler to virtually eliminate<br />
the chances of missing fish.<br />
Utilizing a gel-spun polyethylene core, which is<br />
the most advanced core material on the market,<br />
this shooting line achieves a true “no-stretch”<br />
characteristic. The ultra-low diameter of this core<br />
combines with superior strength to offer a shooting<br />
line that is the strongest, most durable, and<br />
most sensitive shooting line you will ever use. The<br />
polyethylene coating is formulated for extremely<br />
low memory, high float, and minimal “water pickup”<br />
to greatly reduce guide-icing, friction, and to<br />
keep you dryer while casting.hy presentations.<br />

MICROSLICK Fly Line Dressing cleans, lubricates<br />
and preserves fly line and rod guides. Over time,<br />
dirt and grime can build up and compromise the<br />
performance and flotation of any fly line. We recommend<br />
cleaning your line after 5 or 6 outings. If<br />
fishing in murky or muddy waters, then this should<br />
be done every 2 or 3 outings to ensure your line is<br />
conditioned and functioning properly. Simply apply<br />
a <strong>small</strong> amount of MICROSLICK Dressing to a<br />

CELEBRATING A DECADE OF RECYCLED FABRICS<br />
Sustainability is more than a word for us here at Fishpond. It is a<br />
guiding mantra, a promise for us to do better, and a commitment we<br />
make when creating our line of products. As pioneers in the fishing<br />
industry we created our first product made out of recycled nylon fishing<br />
net pulled from the ocean environment ten years ago. Since that<br />
day we have continued to push the industry and ourselves by creating<br />
all of our products in the best way possible out of both pre and<br />
post-consumer threads that come together under the Fishpond logo.<br />
These two types of recycled threads are a recycled fishing net nylon<br />
and an up-cycled industrial waste nylon. These signature Fishpond<br />
fabrics help make a difference in the everyday things we can weave<br />
together to build a better tomorrow for our industry, our oceans, and<br />
the species that depend on their health.

to them we created the Elk River Youth Vest. All of the cool divided<br />
pockets and mesh-lined comfort you’ve come to expect from Fishpond, but<br />

liking.<br />

thought about what other functions a belt might serve. We wanted to<br />
create a purposeful spot for your net, attachment slots for a Quikshot rod<br />
holder, a floating “rail” where you can strap on packs, water bottle holders,<br />
wading staffs, and all sorts of river accessories. The game has changed,<br />
and you can expect more.<br />

The closest thing to having a full time rod caddie on the water<br />
with you. A pack of GT’s at 2 o’clock 120’ out and they are coming in hot!<br />
Get that bonefish rod out of your hand and grab the 12wt that is neatly<br />
tucked onto the side of your pack. With the pinch of a buckle, the switch<br />
has been made and it’s time to strip line, make the shot, and do battle. Having<br />
the right tool for the job when you need it is crucial for success. This<br />
is why we have designed a clean system that keeps your fully rigged rods<br />
fully secured, at the ready, and completely out of your way while fishing.<br />

WORDS BY<br />
EIKE SCHAARSCHMIDT<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY BY<br />
MANUEL ZAIJBER & PELLE RIECK<br />
This is Fly Magazine Issue 65<br />
THE AREA - A BATTLEFIELD<br />
IN BOTH WORLD WARS<br />
SHOWS SCARS HERE AND<br />
THERE.<br />
THE ONCE STARVING<br />
RESIDENTS USED THE<br />
RIVERS AS THEIR FOOD<br />
SOURCE, BUT THEIR<br />
FISHING WITH<br />
HAND GRENADES SOON<br />
PRODUCED EMPTY RIVERS.<br />
AS EUROPE FOUND PEACE,<br />
THE RIVERS WERE<br />
RESTOCKED. AND THE<br />
RESULT IS FOUND NOW IN<br />
THE CHUB, BARBEL, BROWN<br />
TROUT, RAINBOW TROUT,<br />
ADRIATIC GRAYLING<br />
AND THE PRECIOUS,<br />
ENDEMIC MARBLE TROUT<br />
THAT SPECKLE THE WATERS.
THE START<br />
Manuel stands at the tailout<br />
of an amazing pool that<br />
shimmers with a multitude of<br />
blue and green variations on<br />
the Soca river. He repeatedly<br />
chucks out his streamer. The<br />
sunn is high, it´s warm out, and<br />
his surroundings resemble leftovers<br />
distributed from the Caribbean<br />
flyts and dumped into<br />
this New Zealnd - like rainforest.<br />
From time to time Manuel<br />
feels some slight grabs, but nothing<br />
serious.<br />
´Lets go the next spot,“ the<br />
others shout over to him.<br />
Manuel starts to reel in his line<br />
and nearly gets his rod ripped<br />
out of his hand. He must be<br />
careful not to lose the fish to<br />
one of the many rocks in the<br />
roaring river. By the time the<br />
fish is in the net, he sees it is<br />
a marble - a massive marble -<br />
but with the shape of a bream!<br />
Maunuel suddenly feels himself<br />
pulled forward with a force<br />
he cannot explain. It becomes<br />
stronger and stronger - intil he<br />
wakes up, the servere braking<br />
on the highway we are driving<br />
on jostling him from his dream.<br />
I can tell you, marble fever<br />
is a servere issue and it can hit<br />
you hard.<br />
Back to reality. We are three guys from nothern Germany. Usually we fly fish slow-moving<br />
trout streams, lakes and the Baltic coast for sea run brown trout. But at least one or<br />
two times per year, a trip to Alps is required.<br />
Is is in the Alps where one can experience what we feel is the essence of fly fishing: a<br />
breath-taking enironment with high altitude lakes, rivers running as wild, clean and cold<br />
as ever, each holding wild beautiful salmonides in them. And among the many amazing<br />
fishing areas in the Alps, one has a special appeal for us: Soca valley in Slovenia, with its<br />
emerald streams and endemic fish.<br />
88
THE SPOT<br />
Honestly, the description described in<br />
Manuels dream as being Caribbean flyts<br />
embedded in a New Zealand rainforest<br />
is absolutly true. The Julian Alps, as<br />
they are called, is a mountain range that<br />
mainly consists of limestone - the rocks,<br />
the riverbed and the gravel banks-which<br />
varies from bright yellow to pure white<br />
color. The spring-fed streams are GIN<br />
GLEAR and the limestone lends a range<br />
of blue green shades to the water. As the<br />
region is close to the Adriatic Sea, which<br />
makes for a dense, seemingly mythical<br />
forest embellished with ferns and<br />
lichens.<br />
THE FISH<br />
the fish are far from normal. The area a battlefield in both<br />
World Wars - shows scars here and there. The once starving<br />
residents used the rivers as their food source, but their fishing<br />
with and grenades soon produced emty rivers.<br />
As Europe found peace, the rivers were restocked and the result<br />
is found now in the chub, barbel, brown trout, rainbow<br />
trout, Adriatic grayling and the precious, endemic, marble<br />
trout that speckle waters.<br />
Unfortunately, the introduced brown trout and marles mix<br />
and produce hybrids, although their variations produce some<br />
of the prettiedt fish aou can find. The rainbows are self-reproducing<br />
and can grow to remarkable sizes, resulting in a true<br />
sportfish.<br />
But for us, the real deal is the pure-strain marble. A Amrble<br />
trout might be compared to bull trout, given its big head, large<br />
jaws, long and slender body, large dorsel fins and snakelike<br />
swimming motion. They are, quite simply, pure predators,<br />
but with a weakness for dries from time to time.<br />
They are hard to fool, easy to spook and due to their camo<br />
colorings - they move like ghosts trought the river waters.
THE COUNTRY<br />
Slvenia is a spcial county, even if you are not there for the fishing. It grants a eclectic mix of Slavic, Alpine and Italian Mediterranean<br />
influences. The laid back people populate the <strong>small</strong> histroic and ols stonehouse towns that produce some of the<br />
best coffee, cheeses, ham, spritis and pizza.<br />
THE REALITY<br />
Well so much for the facts, but this<br />
year we had a bit of bad luck. Our trip,<br />
scheduled for mid September, normally<br />
prodvides good dry fly fishing and<br />
pleasant weather. But But for us, not<br />
this year.<br />
It didn´t rain a lot for the whole season,<br />
so it was way too dry, But salvation<br />
came with the three of us, because we<br />
brought the pleasant north German<br />
rain with us to Slovenia. What shall<br />
I say ? We were a bit disouraged. The<br />
rain was massive and it wasn´t scheduled<br />
to stop for the next four days. The<br />
rivers were raging and after 1.200km<br />
ride, we were too!<br />
Luckily, we still had our joker, a good friend, Matthias<br />
Esslinger, who two years ago had found his center life<br />
in this area. Being a keen fly fisherman himself and<br />
knowing the rivers like only few others can..<br />
We met Matthias right away and started one of the<br />
most essential procedures in fly fishing: drinking coffee.<br />
We made our plans, and the rest is (unfortunately)<br />
already history. We had a physically demanding week,<br />
being wet and miserable, finding single rays of sunshine,<br />
enjoying overwhelming happiness catch our fish<br />
and consuming the best burgers humans have ever<br />
built, but most of all great companinship.<br />
Overall marble fever isn’t too bad. It makes me think of amazing<br />
experiences when battling an everyday life, so no medication<br />
neede. It is also more an addiction than a disease.<br />
And you know what they say about addictions:<br />
It is only an addiction, when you’re trying to stop!<br />

you can go to a river, lake, or stream and catch some fish. That‘s<br />

and stiff through the rod with a soft tip for strike indication. It is a beast of a<br />
Tenkara rod, not ideal for presenting <strong>small</strong> flies, but excellent for chucking<br />
large nymphs, streamers, mice, etc. Specs: -Extended length - 13 ft 2 inches<br />
(400cm)<br />
Collapsed length - 23 inches<br />
Weight - 5.6 ounces<br />

FISHING WITH A CONSCIENCE<br />
Every angler puts a lot of thought into what he or she brings to the water. We believe<br />
it is equally important to think about what is left there.<br />
That is what fishing with a conscience is all about; ascribing value to the health of<br />
the water we fish. We develop our products with these values in mind and make sure they<br />
are safe for fish, fisheries, and fishermen, without ever compromising quality or performance.<br />
By offering reusable and biodegradable weights and indicators we make sure lost tackle<br />
doesn’t harm wildlife. Our floatants, sinkets and cleaners are solvent-free and consist<br />
of water-soluble components that perform without polluting the water. And our tying<br />
paints, cements and wax are non-toxic and odorless, to keep tying benches free from<br />
harmful fumes.<br />
We will continue to develop products that help anglers protect the water they love while<br />
they are doing what they love.
MAKE THE BEST PRODUCT<br />
Whether you’re goal is to catch the biggest fish or have the most fun, it’s easier to do<br />
both with the best products. We believe that if we make a product, it needs to be the<br />
best. We rely on great people, great materials and great processes to make sure that<br />
every product we send out the door meets our high standards.<br />
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT<br />
Woven into the fabric of Loon Outdoors is the health of our fisheries and our environment<br />
as a whole. Passing these along to our kids and the next generation of anglers is<br />
as important as us enjoying them ourselves. Through our support of many environmental<br />
outlets, we do our best make sure that these fisheries are healthy for decades to come.<br />

Infiniti Light is the most powerful, most environmentally friendly<br />
light we’ve ever offered.<br />
A note on the power output: Historically we have used watts as<br />
a unit of measure because of its familiarity with users, and<br />
because it was helpful in illustrating the relative strength of<br />
our lights. With the introduction of the UV Infiniti Light, we<br />
encountered the need to explain the relative power of our lights<br />
differently.<br />

a residue on the water and is<br />

hackle of the fly with your fingers<br />
and watch it float high cast after<br />
cast.<br />
PAYETTE PASTE<br />

HENRY‘S SINKET<br />
Flies treated with Henry’s Sinket<br />
quickly break surface tension<br />
and rapidly drop in the water<br />
column to where the fish are. It<br />
helps nymphs get deep, where they<br />
roll along the bottom as naturally<br />
dislodged nymphs would. It’s<br />
especially effective on streamers,<br />
getting flies down on the first cast<br />
rather than waiting until the materials<br />
become saturated.<br />
EASY DRY<br />
A treatment to revive flies composed<br />
of two things: drying beads<br />
and blue indicator crystals. A fly<br />
(still attached to the leader) is<br />
dry after a few quick shakes and<br />
ready for floatant. The blue indicator<br />
beads turn pink when the<br />
drying beads have become saturated<br />
and it is time to get a new bottle<br />
of Easy Dry.<br />
TOP RIDE<br />
Known as “Shake and Bake” by world<br />
class guides, this desiccant<br />
(drying agent) and powder floatant<br />
is fast and easy to use. A<br />

goes in wet, and a few shakes later<br />
comes out dry and coated with<br />
a powder floatant.

shimmer to flies. It is silicone<br />

As the WORLD’S FIRST and ONLY<br />
water based spray floatant, Fly<br />
Spritz 2 is the fastest way to<br />
get a floatant on a dry fly. Simply<br />

flies with a floatant. Coming in<br />

flies riding high and adds sparkle<br />
attractor. It can also be used to<br />
give nymphs a realistic air bubble<br />
effect. Included is an easy to use<br />
brush applicator. Great for CDC!<br />

The natural colors and subtle mottled texture won‘t scare spooky fish the way that glossy weights will. The<br />
double-cut design makes these weights easily adjustable and truly re-usable, as they don‘t require a special<br />
tool to open them and remove them from leader.<br />
Both the Camo Drops and Black Drops come in 9 different sizes, as well as four different multi-packs. The<br />
individual twist pots conveniently dispense single weights, and are easily refilled.<br />
DEEP SOFT WEIGHT<br />
This charcoal-colored nontoxic,<br />
Tungsten-based product is biodegradable<br />
and reusable, making it<br />
an environmentally friendly alternative<br />
to split shot and other<br />
lead based weight. The weight and<br />
depth are easily adjustable, to<br />
make sure that a nymph always finds<br />
the bottom.<br />
SNAKE RIVER MUD<br />
A multi-purpose sink paste for<br />
leaders and flies. Snake River Mud<br />
helps flies sink by breaking the<br />
surface water tension and will<br />
also camouflages leader by removing<br />
the shine. This biodegradable paste<br />
won’t harm the environment, or<br />
discolor your leader.<br />
BRASS HEAD SOFT WEIGHT<br />
Just like Deep Soft Weight, this<br />
sinket is a Tungsten-based alternative<br />
to toxic lead-based products.<br />
With a brass color, it is<br />
perfect for making your own bead<br />
head nymphs right on-stream. It is<br />
both biodegradable and reusable.

Backcountry<br />
WORDS & PHOTOGRAPHY BY<br />
DANIEL ECKSTEIN & PATRIK FENDT<br />
A SELF MADE TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND<br />
BACKCOUNTRY TRIPS GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONCENTRATE MONTHS OF<br />
PLANNING AND WEEKS OF DEPRIVATION TO SOME OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING<br />
MOMENTS YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE. AND THE BEST THING ABOUT IT:<br />
YOU DON´T NEED TO BE RICH.<br />
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ARE STAMINA AND A PASSION FOR THE ADVENTURE.
IT´S COMPLETELY DARK<br />
2 in the morning and we are hauling<br />
our backpacks and fishing rods over a<br />
remote, trackless saddle in the middle<br />
of nowhere. Dense rainforest is surrounding<br />
us, giving us the feeling of<br />
walking through a bucket of glue. Every<br />
couple of meters my legs disappear in<br />
rotten wood. And often steep cliffs or<br />
giant fallen trees are forcing us to take<br />
another route. It´s exhausting, sometimes<br />
frustrating and it will take us<br />
another hour to cover the last kilometre<br />
back to our camp. But it´s well worth the<br />
effort. We are tramping through some<br />
of the most amazing landscapes we<br />
have ever seen, in search of large trout,<br />
seldomly visited by other anglers.<br />
THIS COUNTRY<br />
is probably one of the best destinations to<br />
venture, if you are planning a backcountry<br />
trip on your own. There is nothing out<br />
there that could harm you (snakes, bears<br />
etc.) - except your own dumbness- , the<br />
fishing license is cheap and you will find<br />
an excellent infrastructure for trampers,<br />
including good tracks and cosy backcountry<br />
huts. And the most important thing:<br />
There is a vast number of excellent trout<br />
fishing streams. Even if you would spend<br />
your whole life fishing there, you wouldn´t<br />
be able to cover all the water.<br />
During our four weeks trip in January<br />
<strong>2018</strong> we fished high country spring<br />
creeks in Canterbury, remote rivers in Fiordland<br />
and the Kahurangi National Park<br />
and a couple of streams in the Nelson<br />
region. All of them are crystal clear, offering<br />
the opportunity to sight fish for large<br />
trout.<br />
124
THE SMALLEST CREEK<br />
we fished in Canterbury, had a flow rate of just two cumecs per second. It is a tiny tributary of a bigger river system, where<br />
salmon climb up every year to spawn. As we were walking along the first section of the creek, we didn´t expect a single<br />
fish in it, because it was so <strong>small</strong>. But after a couple of meters we sighted a nice brown trout. And... it was slurping nymphs<br />
just from below the surface. Unbelievable! Patrick approached the fish very carefully from below, tossing a pheasant tail in<br />
size 16 on a 18 feet leader in front of the fish. After the third cast the fish swung to the side and inhaled the fly. It was on...<br />
and fighting as hell, stripping of nearly the whole flyline with the first run. After ten minutes, the fish was carefully towed<br />
to the net. And it was -a lot- bigger than we thought, probably around 8lb. What a nice kick-off. After another hour we had<br />
spotted six fish of a similar size -unfortunately spooked most of them- and landed another nice brown with 5lb. A fishing<br />
day, we will never forget.<br />
But it didn´t come always this easy. Imagine, standing<br />
in the wilderness -three walking days away from<br />
civilisation- and spotting a big double figure brown<br />
sipping off dry flies from the surface just below your<br />
feet. We had this sort of situation a couple of times in<br />
the Kahurangi National Park. Even when approaching<br />
the pool crawling in slow motion and casting, just<br />
when the fish was looking away from us. Even with<br />
super long 7x tippets, presenting the dry fly 18 feet<br />
in front of the cruising fish, we were simply not able<br />
to catch them. It felt like fishing for trout, smarter<br />
than ourselves. But even if we didn´t catch them,<br />
observing those fascinating creatures was something<br />
that burned-in our minds.
THE TROUT´S<br />
an also be very spooky, a lot of times<br />
they will see you, before you see them<br />
and seek for a shelter. But sometimes<br />
they are feeding frenzy. I remember one<br />
week in Fiordland, were the rainbows<br />
attacked nearly every dry fly, we were<br />
presenting. None of these fish was below<br />
4lb ,some of them were stripping<br />
off the line to the backing with the first<br />
run and some others jumped four feet<br />
out of the water. It was probably the best<br />
fishing week we had in our lives and we<br />
didn´t encounter another fishermen in<br />
that area.<br />
THE TRIP<br />
wasn´t only memorable in terms of fishing. Experiencing extreme tranquillity -without any man made noise-, viewing the<br />
stars -undisturbed by any other source of light- and being totally free -away from any other human being- is something you<br />
have to experience, in order to be able to understand. The food tastes better than in any five star restaurant -even though<br />
it is freeze dried-, you smell and see a lot more -because your senses are not flooded- and you start to realise what life is<br />
about. It´s not about your status in society, nor about houses or fancy cars -<br />
IT´S ABOUT ENJOYING EVERY SINGLE MOMENT.<br />

Discover the Frog Hair Difference<br />
Our Patented Process Makes The Difference.<br />
“Molecular Alteration” is the fundamental basis of “Nanotechnology”, which is a technology used to develop higher<br />
strength structural materials. After Gamma Processing, the “Molecularly Altered” filaments have an unprecedented combination<br />
of flexibility, shock resistance, strength, abrasion resistance, and low memory compared to filaments of the same<br />
or similar material composition. The resulting leader and tippet is so unique, it’s patented. FROG HAIR provides the angler<br />
with more accurate casts, natural presentations and greater fish-fighting capability.<br />
FLUOROCARBON TAPERED LEADERS<br />
Stiffer butt optimizes the energy transfer from the fly line. The taper is engineered<br />
to combine with the heavier, high density fluorocarbon to provide an optimal<br />
weight distribution along the length of the leader for exceptional roll out and a<br />
more powerful turnover, guaranteed.<br />
• Superior knot strength<br />
• Incredible toughness<br />
• Built-in shock resistance<br />
• Stealthy, drag-free presentation<br />
• Extra long taper section (over 60% of the leader length)<br />
• Includes perfection loop<br />

DAS BLAUE WUNDER<br />
Beim Anflug auf das Archipel verfliegt jeder Zweifel über die Maschine. Der<br />
Anblick auf die unzähligen Inseln und Flats, welche umhüllt von türkisem<br />
Wasser unter uns liegen, lassen jedes Fliegenfischerherz höher schlagen.<br />
Nach einem kurzen Spaziergang über sandige Wege durch das 1500 Seelendorf<br />
beziehen wir unsere Posada (Gasthaus). Ein einfaches aber gemütliches<br />
Zuhause für die nächsten 12 Tage. Für Eike und Manuel sowie für mich ist<br />
es der erste Trip in tropische Breitengrade, nur Matthias hat die Insel vor ein<br />
paar Jahren schon einmal inspiziert und uns zum Glück dieses Mal mitgenommen.<br />
Durch seine Vorkenntnisse und komplette Organisation der Reise,<br />
konnten wir noch am ersten Tag bei einer kleinen gemütlichen Session am<br />
Abend unsere ersten Bonefische überlisten.<br />
GEISTERJAGD<br />
Ein kleines Aufblitzen, ein schneller Schatten oder nervöses<br />
Wasser sind die kleinen Indikatoren um die fast unsichtbar<br />
errscheinenden Geister der Flats zu fangen. Matthias hatte<br />
unseren Trip bis ins Detail geplant und organisiert. Nun war es<br />
an der Zeit seiner Planung Taten folgen zu lassen und dies war<br />
unser Job. Unsere Guides haben uns bereits am Vorabend auf<br />
ein kleines Meet & Greet besucht.<br />
Der erste Tag unseres Guidings begann mit einer kurzen aber<br />
ruppigen Bootsfahrt. Wir passieren ein paar mit Mangroven<br />
bewachsene Inseln ehe wir uns endlich einem Flat nähern<br />
und im knöcheltiefen Wasser aussteigen. Für mich war es<br />
eine extreme Umstellung meine Augen, welche darauf eingestellt sind nach steigenden Forellen und Äschen an der<br />
Oberfläche ausschau zu halten, an die Fischerei im Salzwasser anzupassen. Es bedarf etwas Zeit um in dieser völlig<br />
neuen Umgebung seine Ziele anstreben zu können. Mit etwas Hilfe und vielen Richtungsanweisungen von meinem<br />
Guide sowie von Matthias konnte ich meinen ersten Bonefish sehen und ihn glücklicherweise davon überzeugen meine<br />
Fliege zu nehmen. Im weiteren Verlauf des Tages haben wir einige Bonefische gefangen aber um einiges mehr gesehen<br />
und gespookt. Auch auf dem zweiten Boot, auf dem sich Eike und Manuel befanden wurden die ersten Fänge gemacht.<br />
Neben unzähligen Bonefische in großen Schulen oder auch einzeln crui- senden, wird man den ganzen Tag von Rochen<br />
begleitet. Auch Schildkröten sind keine Seltenheit und immer beeindruckend anzusehen.<br />
Als wir uns auf den Weg machen, um uns<br />
zum Mittagessen zu treffen, wird mir die<br />
Größe des Archipels zum ersten Mal wirklich<br />
bewusst. Unser Kapitän steuert das<br />
Boot in Richtung Horizont, vorbei an Flats<br />
so groß wie mehrere Fußballfelder, Inseln<br />
umrandet von weißen Stränden mit meterhoch<br />
gestapelten Muschelformationen<br />
und von Pelikanen bewohnten Mangroven.<br />
Wie aus dem nichts taucht eine kleine<br />
Insel auf, auf der eine kleine Fischerhütte<br />
zu erkennen ist. Es ist ein wirklich fabelhafter<br />
Ort um eine kleine Pause zu machen,<br />
um sich mit seinen Freunden bei einem<br />
kühlen Bier und ein paar hausgemachten<br />
Empanadas auszutauschen ehe man zur<br />
zweiten Hälfte startet.In den ersten beiden<br />
Tagen konnten wir einige Bonefische<br />
fangen, was zum einen sicher an der Hilfe<br />
der Guides lag, zum anderen aber auch an<br />
Los Roques selbst.<br />

DIE ZÜGE DER MEERE<br />
Korallen knirschen und knacken unter<br />
meinen Füßen. Bei jedem Schritt spüre<br />
ich wie die scharfkantigen, abgestorbenen<br />
Teile versuchen sich in meine Flats<br />
Boots zu bohren. Wellen prallen auf das<br />
Riff und er- zeugen mit tosendem Wind<br />
und starker Strömung ein raues Terrain.<br />
Nein, wir haben es nicht mehr auf<br />
Bonefische abgesehen, heute widmen<br />
wir uns uns ganz den Papagei- und Triggerfischen. Es ist atemberaubend<br />
die meist leuchtend grün und braun gezeichneten Fische im flachen<br />
Wasser zu beobachten. Weit ragen die in stattlicher Größe vorhandenen<br />
Papageifische mit ihren Schwanz- und Rückenflossen aus dem<br />
Wasser. Zusammen mit einigen Artgenossen bilden sie Schulen von bis<br />
zu 20 Exemplaren. Es ist eine sehr technische und ebenso fesselnde Fischerei.<br />
Nachdem ich nach mehreren Anläufen nur gebrochene Haken<br />
und einen Verlust an den scharfkantigen Korallen verzeichnen kann,<br />
beginne ich mich zu fragen, wie es möglich sein soll diese Giganten in<br />
diesem Terrain zu dominieren. Doch ein Blick nach links gibt mir direkt<br />
die Antwort auf meine Frage.<br />
Manuel drillt einen starken Papageifisch und scheint<br />
die Oberhand zu haben. Der wirklich skurril aussehende<br />
Fisch kämpft mit seiner ganzen Kraft und ähnelt dabei<br />
eher einer Dampflock als einem Bewohner des Meeres.<br />
Glückli- cherweise gelingt es Manuel ihn geschickt um die<br />
vielen Hindernisse zu leiten und nach wenigen Minu- ten<br />
in den Händen zu halten. Was für ein faszinierender Riffbewohner!<br />
Zu unserer Überraschung handelt es sich um<br />
einen wunderschön blau gezeichneten Papagei, welcher<br />
sich unter seinen grünbraunen Artgenossen versteckte.<br />
Nach diesem Fang war Manuel „ON FIRE“ und konnte sich<br />
einen seiner größten Träume erfüllen. Ein paar hundert<br />
Meter weiter sahen wir erneut einen der zahlreichen<br />
Triggerfische. Schwarze große Flossen durchbrechen die<br />
Wasseroberfläche und scheinen Manuel zu zuwinken.<br />
Wir können uns etwas hinter eine Steinformation verstecken<br />
und den Trigger aus kurzer Distanz beobachten.Mr. ON FIRE<br />
präsentiert seine Fliege ein paar mal vor dem Maul des Fisches doch<br />
die starke Strömung macht es ihm nicht leicht den Kontakt zu Fliege zu<br />
halten.<br />
Beim nächsten Wurf scheint alles perfekt zu sein, der Strip Strike sitzt<br />
und der Kampf beginnt. Seine Flucht zieht ihn in Richtung Flat und<br />
nicht in Richtung der scharfen Korallen, in denen er vermutlich den<br />
Kampf ziemlich schnell für sich entscheiden könnte. Ich konnte sehen<br />
wie die Anspannung in Manuels Gesicht von ihm abfiel als ich den<br />
grauen, grimmig blickenden Triggerfisch sicher greifen konnte. Ich<br />
bin mir sicher wir werden diesen Tag nie ver- gessen und noch lange<br />
darüber sprechen können.
EIN GROSSER SCHATTEN<br />
Ich stehe im knietiefem Wasser während Matthias mit unserem Kapitain aufmerksam das Wasser hinter uns und um uns<br />
beobachtet. Mein Guide befindet sich ein paar Schritte vor mir, wir laufen in Richtung eines weißen Sandstrands.<br />
Plötzlich bleibt Javier stehen. STOP!...CAST...STRIP...STRIP...WAIT...STRIP...<br />
Mit kurzen Zügen bewege ich die Fliege auf uns zu, der kleine Schatten auf dem hellen Sandboden springt an und verfolgt<br />
diese bis unter die Rutenspitze. Als mir kein Raum mehr bleibt um weiter zu strippen bemerkt der Fisch ebenfalls<br />
dass etwas nicht stimmt und da sein erster Instinkt sich zu verstecken ist, entschließt er sich zwischen meine Beine zu<br />
flüchten. Es ist ein Zitronenhai...obwohl er wirklich klein ist, ist es ein unangenehmes Gefühl einen Räuber mit messerscharfen<br />
Zähnen zwischen seinen Füßen zu haben. Als ich mich etwas entspannen konnte ruft uns Matthias zu, Eike soll<br />
auf dem anderen Boot einen wirk- lich großen Hai gehakt haben. Wir rennen zurück zum Boot um uns das Spektakel<br />
anzusehen. Wir nähern uns Eike und Manuel als plötzlich hinter dem kleinen Schiff eine dunkle Kreatur auftaucht.<br />
Es ist beachtlich großer Schatten!<br />
Eike drillt einen ca. 260cm langen Zitronenhai auf<br />
seiner 10er T&T Exocett. Der Hai verlangt alles von<br />
seinem Gerät ab, mittlerweile geht der Kampf mehr<br />
als eine Stunde. Während der Fisch noch nicht wirklich<br />
müde wirkt ist Eike die Erschöpfung im Gesicht<br />
deutlich anzusehen. Für alle anderen Beteiligten ist<br />
es eine wilkommene Gelegenheit um in aller Ruhe<br />
ein kaltes Bier zu trinken und um die Füße etwas<br />
hoch zu legen. Die Crew wird von dem Hai quer<br />
durch die Lagune gezogen ehe nach etwa 90min das<br />
Unglück passiert. Der Zitronenhai macht eine schnelle<br />
Bewegung und schwimmt unter den Rumpf, das<br />
Boot ist zu träge um der schnellen Aktion des Hais<br />
zu Folgen und zwingt Eike ins Wasser zu springen.<br />
Für einen kurzen Moment verschwindet er mit dem<br />
Monster unter der Wasseroberfläche. Als er wieder<br />
auftaucht und mit ihm seine erschlaffte Rutenspitze<br />
geht ein Raunen durch die Lagune, die scharfkantigen<br />
Muscheln am Kiel haben das Stahlvorfach<br />
durchtrennt. Doch Eike hat immer noch ein breites Lächeln im Gesicht, ist bestens bedient mit der Zeit, die er mit diesem<br />
Ausnahmefisch verbringen durfte und verlangte erst einmal nach eine Abkühlung in Form von einem Bier.<br />
AUF LICHT FOLGT STILLE<br />
Tanzende Menschen stehen vor einem Gebäude, blinkende Lichter betonen ihre Silhouetten, welche sich zum Takt der<br />
Musik bewegen. Ein Blick ins Innere des Gebäudes zeigt deutlich, dass sich nahezu alle jüngeren Bewohner der Insel in<br />
der einzigen Diskothek der Insel versammelt haben um das Wochenen- de zu feiern. Plötzlich tritt eine unerwartet Stille<br />
ein, welche Dunkelheit mit sich bringt. Es ist einer von vielen Stromausfällen an die man sich hier auf Gran Roque gewöhnen<br />
muss. Doch die Inselbewohner sind darauf vorbereitet, so hat nahezu jedes Gebäude einen Generator um Strom<br />
für einen gewissen Zeitraum zu erzeugen und um die Nacht tanzend zu beenden. Eine gute Wlan Verbindung gibt es in<br />
den wenigsten Unterkünften. Die Mehrzahl der social Media Verdorbenen sowie jene die Kontakt nach Hause pflegen<br />
möchten, treffen sich früh Morgens am Marktplatz, um das freie Netz dort zu nutzen.<br />
144
DAS SILBER DER LAGUNE<br />
Moskitos schwirren um uns herum, es ist schwer zu beschreiben wie viele es tatsächlich<br />
sind. Ein Blick ins Innere des Bootes verrät allerdings, dass es einige sein<br />
müssen. Der Boden ist voll von erschlagenen Mücken. Als wir an den Mangroven<br />
vorbei driften stürzen sich die kleinen Blutsauger auf uns. Es fällt mir nicht leicht<br />
mich noch ansatzweise zu konzentrieren doch ich versuche den Schmerz und das<br />
Summen zu verdrängen. Heute möchte ich mir den Traum eines Tarpon erfüllen.<br />
Die driftende Fischerei gestaltet sich schwer, da die meisten Fische sich tief in den<br />
Mangroven ver- stecken. Abgesehen von ein paar Nachläufern können wir nicht viel<br />
Aktivität feststellen. Es wir Zeit für einen Plan B. Wir besprechen uns mit unserem<br />
Guide und beschließen in eine nahegelegene Lagune zu gehen, die Chancen einen<br />
Tarpon zu fangen sollen dort besser sein, auch wenn in dieser Lagune hauptsächlich<br />
kleinere Exemplare zu finden sind.<br />
Nach einem kurzen Spaziergang über<br />
Land erreichen wir die Lagune. Würde<br />
man diese nicht sehen können, würde<br />
man sie auf jeden Fall riechen. Wir<br />
kämpfen uns durch den faulig stinkenden<br />
Schlamm zum Inneren der Lagune.<br />
Als wir endlich das Wasser erreichen und<br />
uns darauf freuen uns zu waschen, wird<br />
uns schnell bewusst, dass wir schleunigst<br />
einige Meter weiter ins tiefere Wasser<br />
müssen.<br />
Die Wassertemperatur ähnelt einem Termalbad.<br />
Es ist mir eine Rätsel wie Fische in<br />
diesem Habitat überleben können, doch<br />
die vielen Kleinfische um uns rum zeigen<br />
deutlich, dass es möglich ist. Als wir um<br />
eine Kurve gehen und einen Blick in den<br />
größten Teil der Lagune werfen können,<br />
sehen wir direkt mehrere Schulen Baby<br />
Tarpon rollen. Leider scheinen auch diese<br />
kein großes Interesse an unseren Fliegen<br />
zu haben. Ich wechsle auf einen Clouser<br />
Minnow und kurz darauf schraubt sich der erste Silberbarren<br />
aus dem Wasser in die Luft.<br />
Der Tarpon ist klein und der Drill kurz, allerdings nicht<br />
weniger spektakulär. Ich bin überglücklich meinen<br />
ersten Tarpon gefangen und mir damit einen großen<br />
Traum erfüllt zu haben. Auf dem Weg zurück durch die<br />
Lagune gelingt es mir noch einen weiteren Tarpon und<br />
einen kleinen Snook zufangen, ein perfektes Ende am<br />
letzten Tag unseres Trips.<br />
SEE YOU SOON<br />
Wir verlassen Los Roques mit vielen tollen Eindrücken,<br />
einer hervorragenden Fischerei und jeder Menge<br />
Erinnerungen. Für meinen Teil kann ich mit Sicherheit<br />
sagen, dass es nicht mein letzter Besuch war und<br />
ich bin mir sicher, dass jeder andere aus der Gruppe<br />
genauso denkt.

BENT SHAFT<br />
This series is based on the Big Three and on a simple concept. Picking<br />
flat scissors up from a flat surface is no fun, and sliding them across your<br />
bench to get them in your hand is a time killer. By placing a bend in the<br />
middle of the scissor, the problem of picking up is solved. Handles and<br />
performs just like a regular straight scissor.<br />

BOBBINS<br />
Bobbins are the critical tool in tying since they must keep smooth tension<br />
on the thread spool and have super smooth inserts to apply the thread to<br />
your fly. To this end, we have created three series of bobbins that handle<br />
these tasks with ease. All have delrin feet for smooth tension on the<br />
thread spool.<br />
