PS: New Zealand Stamps

The stamp story got a little post scriptum. After a couple of weeks on the air, Bas sent this notice:

Martin,

As I told you on the phone, I am getting 'static' from the New Zealanders asking me: "Nice article, Bas, but... where are our stamps?". You told me we can solve that problem. People are sending me a few sets. One is for the web site. Here they are:

”I hate to ask you, but do you want to go salmon fishing for a week?” The voice of GFF partner Partin Joergensen's friend Ole sounded sincere enough and Martin went with him to Norway to fish for small salmon. But the outcome turned out to be a lot larger than standard grilse.

Realistic Flies

Realistic flies are not only for the display case. As Steve Thornton shows us, realism can also be applied to practical and effective fishing flies. Trout and grayling beware!

Hillbilly Copper John

The most sought after pattern on GFF's search page is John Barr's more than excellent nymph pattern the Copper John. Martin Joergensen describes his version here: how to tie it and fish it. And adds its hillbilly kin the much simpler Copper Joe.

The South African Fly Fishing Handbook

When Dean Riphagan's book, "The South African Fly Fishing Handbook" arrived at my doorstep, I could only imagine what was inside the package. Would the book contain some patterns I could use in the States? Would the book contain some tips or re-enforcing basics that everyone could use? How about pictures of trout in Africa?
