1. Czech Nymph Fly Fishing - 80% of Trout Food is Found on the River Bed Or Just Off of It November 17, 2008 The Essential Fly Fishing Technique Czech nymph fly fishing was introduced to the UK during the 1990 World Championships. The Czech team beat the UK International teams on the Welsh River Dee. The Czech team caught grayling in numbers from places that were thought impossibly fast or deep previously by traditional fly fishermen. This sent shock-waves through the world of competition angling. The technique is today considered to be pretty much a standard - an essential part of every grayling anglers armoury and great for trout and other fish. Firstly, let's take a look at the flies, th...

2. The Fiery Narangha Rose June 10, 2008 There’s no doubt that the appeal of roses have stood the test of time, and perhaps we can find an explanation for this through Greek mythology. The minor Greek goddess Chloris came across a dead nymph and she was so taken aback by her beauty that she turned her into a flower. Aphrodite infused the new flower with beauty, the three Graces donated brilliance, joy, and charm, Dionysius added sweet fragrance, and the West win Zephyrus blew the clouds away so Apollo could bathe the rose in sunlight. The rose was then given to Eros, the god of love, and finally the Queen of flowers was born. ... (read more) Author: timothy spencer

3. Small Stream Fly FIshing Techniques March 28, 2008 Most of the small streams we have in Ontario see far less pressure than the larger, open rivers we have. Casting, accessibility and frustration probably play a large role in why these streams see so little action from fly fishers. Generally, these streams will be about 15 feet wide at their widest, will have terribly overgrown banks and plenty of log jams to hang up on. It takes several trips and many, many lost flies to perfect your ability to fish these streams successfully. In fishing these streams, you’ll find that casting is virtually impossible….so DON’T do it!! I can’t stress that enou... (read more) Author: dave barrett

4. Fly Fishing Techniques ~ Dries and Nymphs March 05, 2008 Dry Flies Several methods can be used to fish a dry fly. Dead drifting, skating, and twitching are probably the more popular methods employed when manipulating dries. Casting upstream and using the current to drift the fly downstream is called dead drifting. This means that the fly is floating at the same speed as the water and anything else that happens to be drifting down the stream on the surface. This is avery effective method to deliver spinner and dun patterns to unsuspecting trout cautiously sipping flies from the surface, and it appears most natural to the fish when drifted i...

6. Head Lice - Learn The Facts January 16, 2008 Pediculus humanus capitis, commonly known as the head louse, spend its entire lifetime on the human scalp. The louse feeds on human blood, because humans are the sole hosts of lice. A female louse lays 50-150 eggs, or nits, during its four-week life. When the egg hatches, it become a first-stage nymph. After passing through two more stages as a nymph, it becomes a male or female adult. Adult head lice copulate frequently and the females lay an average of 3-4 eggs daily. A generation lasts for about 1 month. All stages are blood-feeders and they bite the skin 4-5 times daily to feed. During ... (read more) Author: Gregory Martini

7. Multi-Purpose 5 Iron July 15, 2007 I firmly believe that there should be a 5 iron tournament ! One club, one ball, one golfer and his wits. No bulky bags to manage, prancing nymph-like freely along the fairways and whistling Dixie through a cheese-filled Brady Bunch smile...Ya Right! You see, I have done it. (Prancing and Dixie whistling and Brady Bunch smile excluded, usually.) When I was younger my father advised me to practice my game using what he called "the most versatile club in your bag". "This club can do just about anything, I mean anything" he would articulate wisely. Feeling somewhat like the k... (read more) Author: nigel nix

8. Fly Fishing Jargon November 29, 2006 Fly fishing is one of those outdoor activities that has developed a language all of its own. If you are really going to get hooked, you are going to need some insight in to what people are talking about. Fly Fishing Jargon There is a great debate in the fishing world as to whether fly fishing enthusiasts and regular anglers should be grouped together and use the same terms. At first glance, it would seem so. In truth, people that gravitate to fly fishing tend to stick solely with it. This, of course, has resulted in the development of a language all their own. Often, the language ac... (read more) Author: Rick Chapo

9. Corfu island, a Greek Island in Greece November 27, 2006 Named for a beautiful nymph, Corfu Greece has been a historical and geographic stepping stone between Greece and the rest of Europe. This Greek island is steeped in history, from being visited and mentioned by Homer to being bombed in WW II. But, protected by St. Spyridon, Corfu or Kerkira Greece survives and thrives. The Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, fell in love with the beautiful nymph, Korkyra.

10. Fly fishing with nymph October 25, 2006 A friend of mine was asking some fly fishing question about how to fish with small nymph, here is what he ask, What is the proper way to fish a very small nymph? Today I went fishing in the Fallbrook, and had zero luck. I'm in the beginning stages of fly fishing so I’m not exactly sure I was doing it right. My rod is a 9 foot 5 weight with wf floating line. I was using a very small nymph, so I put a light splitshot about a foot above the fly and had a strike indicator about 2 feet above that. I'm not sure if any of it was a good set up, but casting seemed way harder. Almost every cast the tipp... (read more) Author: Karlaage Isaksen

11. How to manage chronic pain June 04, 2006 We tend to disregard the role the mind plays in healing the physical body, even though we admit to the existence of psychosomatic sickness. This prevents us from speeding up the development of our psychosomatic health, that is, health of the body that stems from health of the mind. Although pain is not a psychosomatic illness, I know from personal experience that meditation or any form of deep relaxation can relieve pain to a very large extent. Years ago, I was in a car accident and apart from a broken nose I was without the proverbial scratch. However, many years l... (read more) Author: Nymph Kellerman

Awakening to the Absolute June 04, 2006 Awakening to the Absolute By Nymph Kellerman Illumination is conventionally regarded as a form of mental life, a state of consciousness exclusive to the mystic.

15. Creative Visualization May 30, 2006 Creaive Visualization is a technique in which we use our imagination to create what we desire in life. William Blake called the human imagination the “Bosom of God”. Creative visualization is a very dramatic tool, given to us by God. There is nothing new or weird about it. We already use it on a regular and daily basis, whether we are aware of it or not. Everything in life starts as an idea in somebody's mind, a visual image which is then translated into reality. Albert Einstein said “imagination is more important than knowledge”. We are able to re-arrange our whole wo... (read more) Author: Nymph Kellerman

16. Breathe For Your Own Good May 30, 2006 During the last few decades, Western Universities have become interested in the various techniques of deep relaxation and the effects it has on the body. During a deeply relaxed state, the heart rate slows down, there is a lowering in blood pressure, a decrease in oxygen consumption, a reduction in the blood lactate (high levels are associated with anxiety), and last but not least, the electrical activity of the brain changes. In recent years it was discovered that the brain has the ability to change its vibrations and in doing so, changes behaviour as well as involuntary func... (read more) Author: Nymph Kellerman
