Well I’ve bit the bullet and finally made a bushcraft knife. It will be coming up for sale soon as it needs a little bit more finishing off. 52100 steel with a 3.7mm spine which will work with ferro rods. The angle of the grind is 27 degrees. With a stabilized birch burl handle with black G10...

They all have a harpoon point, looking back it’s just not very noticeable in the first photos. It helps create a thinner area on the knife to assist with penetration. All handles are stabilized birch Burl but that one I added stain to it and sanded some of it away. It soaks into some of the...

Not my finest fly but a fairly large wet muddler version.

I’d thought I’d share this one with you guys. It’s gone to a professional stalker who had some input on the design.

You’ve got to break through the cambium layer under the bark. And the sap will travel up and out of the pierced area.

Yes. I used to fill a few bottles between a couple of trees. I think the flow rate will be similar to any other technique as it’s the only area the sap is going to be coming out.

Coming from Cumbria most of my fishing was on still water and I really enjoyed it. Your definitely right about rivers though I can’t quite place what it is but they sure are more fun to fish.

I’ve got to admit the first year I moved to Wales I had some sensational fish. I’ve never quite had a season like my first year here. But alas it never lasts but you get the occasional whumper like the post posted that keeps the interest going.

Do not buy the Amazon ones. The grits are labeled wrong and they dish out extremely quickly. I bought one to try so I’m speaking from experience. Start with this and get the 1000 grit after it. With a good compound on a strop this will give you a good result. If your edge obsessed go for the 2k...

I caught my PB river brown trout with one. Right at the end of March 2019 it ruined the rest of the season for me. :laugh: Just over 28 inches in length.

You’ve done a lovely job there. The haft compliments it. I wouldn’t get hung up on HRC at all as edge retention is mainly down to steel type (carbide types and numbers) and the geometry. When it gets blunt you sharpen it. I’d be happy using that.

I’ve done both and to be honest I find that I intermix both disciplines on one project. You will get the feel where a chisel or knife will be better than a bur head. It does save a hell of a lot of time though.

I think I only ever tied them in green and brown. Really good fly for larger brown trout

The technique I have used in the past. I use the tip of my knife and lift a small section of bark. Just enough to fit a small twig under it. The sap drips off the twig into a bottle tied underneath. Once I’m finished I remove the twig and push the bark back down for a few seconds. The sap sticks...
