Hello Martin. I have...

Hello Martin. I have yet to see a review done about this "shady book" You told me at the end of Oct. that you'd get to it. I've seen reviews on other media that have been out for less time. I'd like the public to get a reputable report about this

Malcolm,

I have had that book on my bedtable for a while, and have read most of it. A review is on the way. It is in many ways a fine book with lots of good advice, but at the same time both the book itself and the marketing of the book is really more like some manual for a pyramid scam than a fishing book. I will bump the review in the pile and get it published as soon as possible,

Martin

I am an avid nymph fisherman. I am kind of puzzled as to why I have not yet seen one review in any fly fishing publication or on any ff website of the book that has been advertised online for probably close to a year entitled "Why Some Guys Catch All The Fish". This book is advertised on a site called Nymph-Fishing.com. The advertising of this book just seems kind of shady to me and other anglers I've spoken to. I won't consider spending any money on this book until I read reviews of it in a major ff mag or one of the well known websites.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
