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.

 

Did you find the above interesting?

A few random articles for your entertainment The Nedbank guide to flyfishing South Africa South Africa has a rich variety of fishing opportunities from saltwater over stocked reservoirs to streams in the mountains. Brown trout, rainbows, yellowfish, tigerfish and numerous saltwater species seem to be readily available in beautiful, lush nature. April 22nd 2006 1000 best sites If you had asked GFF partner Martin Joergensen a while back, he'd have answered that a book on web sites is a stillborn idea. End of story. Print stuff on web sites is bound to be outdated before the ink is dry. This book changed his mind on that. July 8th 2004 Fly Fishing Mexico This book on the Yucatan Peninsula by Argentinian anglers Juan Pablo Reynal and Daniel Beilinson is one of the most beautiful books we have ever reviewed on the Global FlyFisher! The sheer size makes it impressing, but the imagery is just beyond belief. September 13th 2005 A Celebration Personally Martin Joergensen has always carried a certain portion of envy when he leafs through books like this. Why isn't it him who has been to all these classical and historical places? After a while the enjoyment takes over and in the end the contemplation wins as he starts start reading the texts.
