Many, many years ago, I suggested to French bead and cone maker Andre Bidoz that he should make some bottle tubes I had thought of. And he did!

These some books that I am reading right now, have ordered, or intend to acquire at the earliest opportunity.

This is about a French book on mayflies, which I can hardly read, but still love

A large part of the web is getting worse. One of the reasons is enshittification, which is providers making the product worse while increasing prices. That will not happen here!

My fishing book register needed an update – and the registration of a lot of books

None of the content on this site has been generated by Artificial Intelligence

It’s been a year like so many others. GFF is chugging along, doing as good as ever ... and even with new content!

And we actually do again, but in a very different manner. There used to be many, now there are almost none

When the site became slow, I asked ChatGPT to find the reason. Its reply? ChatGPT was the cause!

I have made a few series of articles over the years. They now have their own page

Back in April I revived the old pages from the FlyMeister 2001 competition that was held by GFF. I just forgot to tell about it!

The last batch - for now - of tying thread arrived, and I'm about to throw myself at the mercy of my micrometer

I'm building up to the update of the already substantial table of tying threads

The tying thread table and the accompanying article is among the most popular pages on this site. It’s about time for an update.

The publishing pace is not frightening on the Global FlyFisher, but I’m working on cranking up the frequency ... bit by bit

Another great Danish Fly Festival is over, and it was as always great being part of this excellent show.

I’m a good bit into upgrading the Global FlyFisher to the latest version of the publishing system. Meanwhile the old site is gasping

It's time for another of these major updates of the tech behind the Global FlyFisher

I asked an Artificial Intelligence-system to talk about a GFF article about the Muddler Minnow, and the result is truly mind-blowing!

For basically all the almost 30 years of its existence, I have been following the traffic patterns on GFF. I stopped about a year ago, and here is why.

For a painfully long time in August 2023 the Global FlyFisher was dead and gone. Our DNS-provider stumbled and took all their clients with them in the fall.

The site is back and in operation, but the downtime has led to some unfortunate errors, which I’m trying to fix as you read this

A couple of HL Leonard leaders were added to LeaderCalc thanks to Swedish Johan Algén

GFF is running on Drupal 7, and Drupal 7 is terminal. It’s destined to die. And upgrading is not an easy task, not least because version 10 is already there.
