Another great documentary by BBC.
Wir sind das Buch. 100 Angler engagieren sich als Buchautoren - und für die Umwelt.
Die Rapsbande hat eine neue Buchserie gestartet: Mein zweitbester Angelplatz. Und weil die Idee nicht nur pfiffig sondern auch nachhaltig ist, hier die Essenz des offiziellen Pressetextes:
Der Verlag „Die Rapsbande“ startet ab dem 21. März 2011 unter dem Motto „Wir sind das Buch“ erstmalig ein Projekt, in dem Angler selber zu Autoren werden, ihre ganz persönliche Angel-geschichte erzählen und sich gemeinsam für ein Naturschutzprojekt engagieren.
Die zwei Erstlingswerke „Mein 2Bester Angelplatz deutsche Ostseeküste“ und „Mein 2Bester Angelplatz dänische Ostseeküste“ sind gefüllt mit 100 spannenden, illustren, komischen und abenteuerlichen Geschichten rund um das Meerforellenangeln.
50 Autoren stellen pro Buch auf einer Doppelseite ihren 2.besten Angelplatz an der deutschen bzw. dänischen Ostseeküste vor. Der Fantasie waren keine Grenzen gesetzt. Es durfte geschrieben, gezeichnet, gedichtet, fotografiert werden – Hauptsache der Mix aus Unterhaltung und Information für den Leser stimmt. ...
Mit 2 € pro verkauftem Exemplar wird ein Naturschutz-Projekt unterstützt, das der Autorenpool gemeinsam ausgewählt hat. Außerdem lässt die Buchreihe einen „Blätterwald“ entstehen, denn der Verlag „Die Rapsbande“ pflanzt zur Herausgabe eines jeden neuen Buches zehn Bäume – als sogenannte „book-nature-balance“...
Die Bücher sind ab 21. März 2011 im Buch- und Angelfachhandel, oder direkt beim Verlag unter www.derangelfuehrer.de erhältlich.

The fly truth of RZA.
Some days ago we've read an article about RZA, the mind behind much more than the Wu-Tang Clan. Being asked about his approach to music he answered: "Simple ... and slightly fucked up."
Well, that's exactly what we call a great fly: Simple ... and slightly fucked up.
(like the Hunchback, see post below). RZA is defintitely a fly guy.

A question of construction - BOA Lacing System or good old shoe laces.
SIMMS launched a new series of wading boots called Rivertek with the M3 BOA Lacing System. When you check out their website boatechnology.com you will find the following sentence:
"It is a choice between yesterday's product and tomorrow's technology."
Ehh? Sorry? First of all: Where is tomorrows technology? Because what they offer, is a yesterdays product. In 1991 (!) PUMA invented the first system like this as the PUMA DISC System and called on us "Turn it on!".
Well, it didn't turn the world on. The technology seemed to be technically immature. And the "advantage" of even closure and no pressure points turned out to be a problem for athletes that do not have the perfect foot or do want to put more or less pressure on different parts of their foot.
But maybe the BOA System is perfect for such a clunky thing like a wading boot, because there's no need for fine tuning - although a wading boot has to stand enormous pressure and has to work under toughest conditions. But BOA promises that their system can definitely not break or open during use. And they worked on another weak point: they use stainless steel laces ("stronger than tank armor"! as they say). We'll see if the plastic parts of the system itself will show the same durability, but there was great improvement in the field of plastic since the PUMA DISC System.
Technology is great. Advance is great. But The Fly Guys aren't quite shure, if you want to discuss that point with a "broken BOA system" a 100 miles away from the next SIMMS/BOA System "sparepart" dealer - and with a whiny voice ... "But they promised ..."
That's the good thing about the good old shoelaces: If they break, you just add another knot. And that is something a flyfisherman really knows how to do.

Fly of the day, the week, the month, the year, the century, the millenium, the one.
There are a lot of amazing flytiers out there. And there are even more Blogs with myriades of nice flies and instructions how to do them. That's why The Fly Guys decided not to come up with another version of a March Brown or shrimp. Because we are just not good in that. Until today. Because by surprise we created a great fly. And because we believe that surprising things have to be shared to stay surprising (not for us but for theirselfs), we decided to show one of our best kept secrets so far.
It's THE killer fly. In every aspect.
Because it catches nearly every fish you can catch in a (german) freshwater stream or creek.
Because it is the most easy fly to tie.
Because it only needs one kind of material.
Because it saves you a lot of material.
Because it doesn't even need the good parts but the waste material.
Due to the growing number of fantastic-high-tech-multi-wonder-names for flyfishing tackle, we now should announce it like this: "Gentlemen, the Omni." But this is way to serious for such a little, dirty garbage fly. (You'll understand when you see it).
That's why we called it: The Glöckner.
Which means: The Hunchback.
And of course there's a reason for that lovely name.
Because all you have to do is this:
1.) Take a jighead or goldhead.
2.) Fix a little rest of marabou with your thread at the end of the hook.
3.) Fix the marabou behind the jighead - with throwing a little hunchback in your feather.
You can vary the grade of "deformation", eg to make it more look like a little streamer.
That's it. That's the wonder of simplicity.
Got a rest of black marabou? Or brown? Or grey? Go cut a little piece out of it and tie a Glöckner in less than 30 seconds.
It caught rainbow trout, brown trout, greyling, char, carp, perch, chub, roach, nase and even little pike.
We guess the reason for the success of this multitasking-fly is that it pretends to be a nymph, fishbreed, a pollywog or a leech. Or probably all in one. Maybe we should call it "The Super Schizo"? What do you think?
Another reason for it's success could be the simple fact that it's just so ugly.
It looks like the perfect victim.
And fish love ugly flies. Like the Glöckner.

The truth about flyfishing.
This funny little film, made by a flyfisherman on xtranormal.com, brings together the two antipodes of flyfishing. The flyfisherman who wants to spend a lot of money for his tackle. And the flyfisherman who prefers to spend his money on fishing. Which side are you on?
Attackeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Fantastic footage of a marauding bunch of Blacktip Reef Sharks, stampeding a swarm of fish out of the water.
Fantastische Aufnahmen einer marodiernden Schwarzspitzenhai-Bande, die mal eben einen Fischschwarm vor Panik aus dem Wasser treiben.

A famous fisherman.
JR Hartley, author of a book about fly fishing - in a 1983 TV commercial for the Yellow Pages.
Over the years, this commercial became so famous, that even two books where published under his pseudonym. (Here). Maybe we should shoot a commercial for The Fly Guys ...

Ja wo schwimmen sie denn?
Das TRCC (Tuna Research and Conservation Center) erforscht das Leben des Thun und anderer Wanderfischarten wie z.B. Haie. So wurden im TAG-Project (Tag-A-Giant) über 1000 Bluefin Tunas getagt. Aber auch ein paar von den weniger freundlichen Kameraden wurden getagt. Wo das so hinführt, kann man hier sehen und verfolgen.

Sensationell - Kamchatka ohne Heli.
Normalerweise stehen wir ja nicht so auf diese Kuck-mal-ich-kann-meine-fotos-auf-youtube-posten-
"Filmchen". Zu oft paaren sich da schlechte Musik mit schlechten Bildern.
Doch manchmal hat man Glück. Manchmal entsteht aus einer Reihe von dokumentarischen Fotos mit der richtigen Musik ein großes ganzes Bild, das einem mehr gibt als nur ein animiertes Fotoalbum. Weil es mehr zeigt, als nur Fische, Wasser, Polbrillen. Dann kann man die Stimmung spüren, den Moment riechen - weil es Seele hat. Und plötzlich passiert das wohl schönste Kompliment für so eine Erinnerung: man sieht sich selbst auf dieser Reise. The Fly Guys sagen Danke, Michal Prokurat.
