Fly-Fishing for Smallmouth in Rivers and Streams
A steaming bowl of chili, Jets vs Patriots, and a great book on smallmouth fishing filled with pictures of anglers in short sleeves and lots of sunshine.

Nervous Water
What more can be said about a Steve Raymond book that hasn't already been said? Simply put, he is one of the finest authors who has ever laid pen to paper on the subject of fly fishing.

How To Catch the Biggest Trout of your Life
Czech Nymph
I was tying at a show in Roscoe, NY this past Spring when a gentleman approached my table to ask about tying Czech nymphs, referring the article I wrote a couple years ago .
Tying and Fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs
To borrow a phrase from the great G.E.M. Skues, wet fly fishing continues to be a minor tactic among fly anglers.
The Fly-Fisher's Craft
I've enjoyed all of Darrel Martin's fly fishing books, and "The Fly-Fisher's Craft" is no exception.
The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide
Jan's Bugs
Coming soon to a GFF article near you, a very cool set of terrestrial foam flies from across the big pond, courtesy of Jan in the UK. Here's a sneak peek:
Tube Fly Turmoil
Tube flies are flies tied on a tube rather than a hook. But putting it that simple is almost a crime, because tubes have evolved dramatically over the last few years, and bottles, rear tubes, Shomakov tubes, FITS tubes and all sorts of new systems have seen the light of day.
Start the grand tube tour here.

We do this for fun!
Not for money. Not for fame (well, maybe a little). Not out of duty.

GFF Summit 2007
So there will be a GFF Summit this year! At long last Martin Joergensen has found the time to get some facts together and start working on the dates and practicalities. It will be in September and take place on Fyn, Denmark like last year,
and you are cordially invited to participate.
Carinthian Gold
Does one of the best spots for fishing for graylings with a colour “like gold”, good water conditions most of the spring, summer and autumn, still undiscovered by cormorants and yet unknown to the cosmopolitan fly fishing scene sound interesting?
Then maybe you should read Tobias Renkawitz' article
50$ fly rod/reel/line
Just a couple of days ago a flyer arrived in my letterbox. It was from a local supermarket, and on the front I noticed something that wasn't a gallon of orange joice, sliced ham or diapers in big bags...
Burning Man
This strange popper came out of Martin Joergensen's vice recently and has already proved its value several times. See why it might be interesting to you, how to tie it (in meticulous details) as well as how it moves - and in video too! And learn why it's called Burning Man.
All that and more here.
Rainbows and virus
Thursday morning I plugged my laptop into a socket at my good friend and partner Steven's house (Danish Steven, not US Steve). I worked on one of our projects there all day and didn't notice anything ...
It works!
Just to prove myself right: the foam-and-rubber-thingy that I made the other day and called Burning Man can actually catch fish!
I had as many garfish follow and try to take as I wanted on a trip y...
