Oldies on GFF

We refurbished a lot of old articles on GFF - here is the story


By Martin Joergensen

A large number of articles on Global FlyFisher have been around for a looong time.

Recently I went over a lot of the fly patterns, which have now lost their old, trusty look and been shined up a bit to be more in harmony with the current look of GFF.
So while reading some of these older pieces you might wonder about references to time, which seems a bit out of sync with real life. But that is because I basically just updated the layout, and didn't do much about the content. It has a certain touch that we didn't want to loose.

Look at these old takes from before the makeover:
