The only knot

Tying: This is definitely going to get me in trouble! But I guarantee you that if you learn this knot you will be able to get very far in almost all kinds of flyfishing. Use this for your daily knotting and use loops for the rest (backing to fly line, fly line to leader), and you will be able to make it through many, many fishing days. See which one it is here.

Oatman's Silver Darter

Step by Step: Someone asked me how to create the \"slightly tapered\" body on an Oatman Silver Darter and it was pretty difficult to describe in words, so I tied up a sample and took some photos along the way. Here for your enjoyment is a Lew Oatman favorite, the Silver Darter Click here to read more

Steelhead Beetle

Broom fly: While looking at steelhead flies with a BC guide, one fly in particular stood out: a somewhat ugly contraption with a deer hair wing and not least an \"overhanging\" head, in other words tied so that the hook eye was under the fly and not in front. Meet the Steelhead Beetle

Grantham's Sedge

Steelhead fly: Grantham Sedge was originally designed by Ron Grantham in 1993. It is a unique solution to creating a fly which produces a substantial wake without having to be bulky or riffle hitched. Ron Grantham writes \"When used with a floating fly line this unsinkable fly will stay on the surface as long as it is moving Read about it here

The Killer Mantis

Epoxy: Who else than epoxy wizard (and madman) Bob Kenly would take on tying... eh, building... eh, constructing a Mantis Shrimp as a fly? Follow the project this article where you can read Bob\'s story about the fly and see pictures of the process and the finished fly. Join in here

Martin's Mundane Zonker Worm

Zonker: For many saltwater anglers the term \"worm hatch\" has a magical ring to it. When the polychaete worms swim freely to spawn, the fish usually go berserk, be it trout, stripers, tarpon or a number of other species. As one writer puts it: It\'s like yelling \"free lunch\" to a high school football team. Learn to tie a simple worm here

What's The Global FlyFisher worth?

An approach from a business that wanted to buy The Global FlyFisher made me wonder: what's a site like this worth? And don't worry... we didn't sell!

New (old) books

Another bunch of books snuck their way into my life

In Iceland, not fishing... almost

I'm currently traveling in Iceland with my family and thought I'd share a few pics with you.

The shoulder thing

Where to put your rod when handling fish? On your shoulders behind your neck, of course!

Used books and DVDs

I have always been a very willing buyer of used stuff, and buying used books and DVDs makes very good sense

Moving day... again!

Well it's obviously that time of the year or whatever time it is because we are moving the site to a new server.

A Week In Montana

Not much fishing, I admit, but man is Montana beautiful!

Here - Faceless - Fly Fishing

2010 Fly Fishing Calgary, Alberta Canada

Montana Wild Fish Reel 2011

Here is an edit we put together showing some of our best fly fishing footage from 2011 and a recap on our 1st year filming our fly fishing adventures. We were not able to film any fall fishing due to hunting, but expect BIG things for 2012. This is just the beginning.....

There - out of our element

DIY fishing is not for the faint at heart, especially when you are out of your element. We travelled for 3 days and took 4 flights to get to our final destination in Central America. We even managed to do some fishing between flights; in some cases we only had a few hours but managed to find some seriously good opportunities along the way.

Plan B

It has been a crazy year for us. We have got a ton of support from both old and new friends, and we thank you. We are trying to stay true to the faceless style but still push ourselves to do things different I hope you like our latest offering and continue to follow our progress.
