Everything about GFF
The people behind GFF
Merry Christmas 2012
Holiday:
It has been a while since I did a Merry Christmas post on GFF, so I thought I'd make one this year. A few pictures from this year and a handful from earlier.
See them (and the goose) here

The Global
FlyFisher Store
Buy, buy, buy
: We have tried selling merchandise a couple of times before, but with no great success. Handling chores and costs just grew out of control, and the income... what income? But now we have a new store!
The first (fishing) blog.... ever?
History
: Blogs are very common these days, and we have one too. But ours started back when blogs were an almost unknown concept - in 1996!

The Journey Begins
Fish On
: The introduction to the project "Fish On - A Reel Retreat" by Travis Swartz. The first steps towards a video about men recovering from cancer and finding their way to a normal life through fly-fishing. And you can help!

Book couriers wanted
We need help
: Is there any GFF readers who travel between the US an Europe, maybe even Scandinavia or ideally Denmark, who would be willing to bring books over now and then and mail them on to Martin in Denmark?

Facts about GFF
About us
: The Global FlyFisher is a web site for fly fishers and fly tyers - and to some extend for outdoors people in general. The site has a very long history, dating back to the beginning of the Internet era in 1994, and our oldest articles are from that period.

A new look
Facelift
: GFF has been looking the same for almost a decade, and even though we haven't changed anything radical, there are changes in appearance.

Celebration
: Sorry about the confusing headline, but our article database reached 2000 entries (and then some) during the past week. As you know, we don't let any reason for celebrating ourselves pass unnoticed, and of course we want to write about ourselves on this happy day!

2010 on GFF
We have passed yet another New Year's evening, and can now write 2011. So how was 2010 for GFF? We celebrated our 16th birthday in 2010. We served 12 million pages to 850,000 people. We published 66 articles. We added more than 500 videos. Still we think we're lagging a bit.
GFF Books
It has been awfully quiet on GFF lately, but we're working behind the scenes on some great material for the autumn. During the summer Martin has been busy making books, and you can now buy two volumes chuck full of his beautiful images and support GFF at the same time.
Videos on GFF
We're entering the online video age. The plan is not to produce our own feature length DVD's in HD quality, but to expose the best online videos from other sources. So browse our first videos here and help us make this new feature better by pointing us to great online videos.
1000!
Here at GFF we don't hesitate to celebrate any occasion, which marks a milestone in the the history of this site and its progress. And here's another such milestone: this very article is actually entry number 1000 in our list of entries in the sitemap. A really sharp corner.
GFF on Twitter
The Global FlyFisher can now be found on Twitter.
GFF heartbeat
