Mr. Joergensen,
Your photos are exceptional, I never new our equipment could be so beautiful. I have also viewed your still water photos.. My question is to you how can I purchase some photos for my office???? Kirk

A great article Hans, this is probably the best info on CDC to date. I really enjoyed the article and the pictures
are excellent. Keep up the good work.

Hey Gary,

Thanks for dropping by. I've been collecting streamers from a number of tyers from around the globe and on Jan 1, I'll start displaying all the flies one per day. I'll be selling, auctioning, etc the streamers over the year to raise some money for the 6 organizations listed on the about page. Check your inbox. :)

Doug,

Thanks for your comment, and I sure hope you none-fishing friends enjoy the site as much as you seem to! I'm glad you like the site and find it useful.

Mr. Jorgenson, this is one fantastic site. I have taken up pike fishing, and the info you provide is outstanding. Also,your gearing up for "looks"is funny as can be. Your fly tying info is great as well. I tell everyone to go here; even people who don't fish! I live in western N.Y. State, USA, and we have plenty roughfish here. Flyfishing for pike is mostly overlooked. THANKS very much.

a fly, bubble and spinning rod is a winning combination that can catch a lot of fish!

its just another way of fishing

Nice article Martin. I actually bought a couple of Bombardas recently; for the kids to be able to use flies, next time I take them out fishing, but as I have never tried this type of rig myself the into was very welcome.
Cheers,

hello bob,
can you please send a photo of the trout rock to me?

Svoban,

There is no drawback in my article, its simply about the introduction of salmonides !
Unfortunately no baseline study about original species was done before the introduction. Therefore to valuate the current number of remaining or even STEADY indigenous population is vague. We know for sure there is one endangered species. But you are certainly right, the ecological impact was and probably still is an ecological disaster. But since I am not a fulltime scientist, I rather decided to give no room for any assumption about present state of indigenous fish but facts about the introduction.

Just got back from an Atlantic Salmon fishing trip and the guide said he has used Armour all for years and swears by it. I was a bit skeptical as I have heard that it has had adverse effects on car dash boards. seems it works for some though.

There is a drawback of in this article. You did not mention what happen to the original fish species of Southern America after the introduction of salmonids. Flyfishermen are happy, but the impact to original ecosystem was catastrophic.

I have a leeda reel thats about 25 years old and Love the design and handling of the reel.
And it still works pretty good, just started to get a little rust problems.
Have been searching for the same reel for a couple of years, and would really want a simular reel but with a good, slow brake system.

Since you got this far …

A money box
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.
