Greetings from BC Canada, again

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Greetings all, I have been rather busy since I returned from DK back in June. We've been busy doing youth fishing camp, website work, and the odd fishing trips this summer back here. ;)

My thanks once again go to Martin, Kim, Ripley, Steve and Bill for a wonderful trip to Southern Jutland even though we came up fishless on the first day. I did manage to connect with a couple of brown trout up north after we left you guys. :) Here is a brief video clip of what happened.

Back in May, I asked a few of you regarding garfish. Thank you for the advice once again, I ended up doing well in a couple of outings. Here is a clip of my frustrating hookset. ;)

Back in the summer, we did a flyfishing trip to the Thompson River for rainbow trout in BC. For those of you who are interested in fishing in BC, you may want to mix in a couple of days of dryfly fishing with the salmon fishing in September. The trout range between 40 and 55cm in length, fantastic on a 4/5wt. You can either dead drift a big stonefly nymph for them, or dry flyfish for them in early mornings and late evenings. Here are some photos. :)

Our fall salmon season has been delayed by mother nature, it is just slowly picking up now. Overall, we are not expecting a big return of coho salmon this year. Here is a coho salmon that I connected with a few weeks ago.

Anyways, I am scheduled to be in DK once again from December 5th to February 6th. I plan to do a bit of pike fishing, a bit of perch fishing, and maybe a bit of sea trout fishing. Accepting free pointers now. 😄 I hope you're all enjoying the fall weather.

Best regards,

Since you got this far …

… 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.
