Flymage Magazine has just reached its 5th anniversary and we want to celebrate with all of you with a summary of the more than 2500 pages published on fly fishing and photography. A selection of articles that reflects the idea from which this magazine was born.
I want to thank all of our collaborators, fly anglers, fly tiers, photographers, writers, travel agents and brands, who over these five years have helped to shape Flymage, without them it is impossible to generate varied and interesting top quality content.
We thank all readers and followers of the magazine very much indeed. We encourage you to stay with us. From this autumn, a new cycle for the magazine opens. A design change, other proposals, and new ideas but the very essence is unchanged: enjoy our passion for fly fishing. We will continue publishing the magazine in Spanish and English, with free access.
Thank you all!
José H. Weigand

osé Manuel Ruíz, “Cholo”, has become, after more than ten years, one of the Spain’s most realistic fly tyers, well known worldwide.
His idea was to take to the vise what he saw on the banks of Órbigo river with new techniques that have left their mark. His flies, as well as being realistic, catch fish.

t is said that plain rivers in the province of León are some of the best places for trout in southern Europe. The Órbigo river in particular, is famous beyond
our borders and today has a good trout population with some really big ones. We went fishing in a summer day with José Miguel Matilla.

t is a remarkable thing that nearly a hundred and fifty years on since Halford first trod the banks of the River Test his principles still guide us today. Yes, the
tackle has changed but we all still crave that moment when a fish rises to the fly we have so delicately cast. In that fraction of a millisecond, hours or days of frustration melt away into joy. It will always be a magical moment and for that we must thank Frederic Halford.”

e found out that lots of sea trout were eating aggressively on whatever hatch was on. So it was simply a question of matching the hatch the
traditional purist way. It was truly a revolution for us. Suddenly we could fish in the daytime. Much contrary to traditional folklore dictating that sea trout are shy creatures that only come out at night.”

t is not easy to put into words the feelings that come to you in a place as extraordinary as the Kola Peninsula. I know many anglers who, after their
first visit, have made it a must destination for annual pilgrimage. If not for its extent, its people, landscapes, rivers, history or its salmon (the latter playing a major role since of course) it is everything taken together and especially the sense of its being the real thing that gets the Kola hook into you. Throughout the rest of the year, I remember Russia continually and always in black and white.”

started this study about 5 years ago, when I created Bicho Prods, a small video production company focused on the Natural World and mainly on water.
Since then, I have spent many hours trying to see under the surface, just what might be happening behind the water mirror.

Do pristine places still exist for the Atlantic salmon?
The answer is yes. An example are the rivers Kharlovka, Eastern Litza, Rhynda and Zolotaya in the so called Atlantic Salmon Reserve, in Kola’s peninsula, Russia.

can say with my hand on my heart that I think the European Bass is the most magnificent fish I have ever hunted. I have landed thousands of these silver eating
machines on fly and yet for some reason the love of this species just seems to deepen with time. The European Bass is the sport fishing love of my life. I may travel to other worlds and have short exotic affairs with other Silver ladies but I always come home to Cornwall and await the arrival of the European Bass after they have spawned.”

grew up in the Danish countryside on a little farm as the only kid in a small village. With no friends, I spent a lot of time alone in the local woods. Through my imagination even the smallest perch from the local
lake was a magnificent and wondrous creature, and Nature became my best friend in a way. But as I grew older, the friendship began to grow stale, and I dreamt of more distant places to rekindle the magic. Since then, wanderlust has been the driving force of my life and taken me to places all around the Arctic circle and beyond.”

Yellowfish Conservation Group works for the conservation of these species and for the promotion of catch and release angling, which, moreover, is flyfishing only. There are various stretches of the Vaal and Orange Rivers where this style of fishing is the only method allowed.”

cannot get the image out of my head, of a great pike gobbling up my fly, I need to see that image again,
it´s close by, I know, I can feel it. Needing to see it again is like a drug, like an obsession... maybe it does not want to bite today, maybe tomorrow, or the day after... I am in no hurry, I know that sooner or later I´ll get it. I know it is not easy, and maybe with luck and many, many hours, I can catch one or two big pike each season.”

wish all fisherman always wear on orange, red or yellow shirts. They change

Have you ever tried to capture a fish feeding on natural flies, with your camera? We do, quite often, and the result is almost always
disappointing. Either the fish is out of focus or moving, or the surface of the water creates a subliminal curtain that blurs the sharpness of the image, or the fly that was being taken is hardly visible ... In fact this kind of photography seems extremely complicated, so when Jason Jagger offered part of his exceptional photographic material to publication it in the magazine we did not hesitate for a second.
