Knots and copyright

Two things that we hold in high esteem on GFF

Your host
Martin Joergensen

This episode
During a trip for sea trout (one caught while NOT recording), I mused a bit about knots and copyright. These two things stick together like peas in a pod here on GFF, because our knot section with text and drawings is the most illegally copied part of the site.

For some reason people seem to think that they can lift article right off our pages and onto their own.

I hate it when that happens!

We spend a lot of time (and money, actually) on building and running the Global FlyFisher, and you are NOT supposed to use ANYTHING from the site for non-personal use without asking first.
You are welcome to link to our site. You can quote within limits and you can print for your own benefit as much as you please. But you cannot lift off material and use it ANYWHERE without asking and getting permission first.

In the podcast I get some air regarding this matter, talk about the knots I use and have about 100 strikes (well, many at least) from garfish, but catch none.

Catto,

Thank you for this nice comment. Yes, we anglers are indeed more alike around the world than most people think. My numerous contacts with anglers from other countries have always told me that the are more similarities than differences. Mostly we seem to click in a common interest not only for fly fishing.

Martin

Using the loop system

Loops: When I first started fishing with a fly rod, I spent a lot of time tying compex knots to join the different part of the rig. I wish someone had told me about loops when I started, because they would have saved me a lot af work. Go to the story

Mel Kriegers Patagonia - 40 years fly fishing in Argentina

The first words spoken on this DVD are: "Every so often in life comes a person that is one step above the rest..." and "Not just any mortal...". Martin Joergensen would have thought twice before he introduced anybody in angling with words like those - even Mel Krieger.
