Bryant Freeman's Gray Ghost

"Took the time this afternoon between snow showers and cleaning the driveway to meet the Carrie Challenge. Old saying from old home of Greenfield in Nova Scotia - Put up or shut up!! :) The toughest thing I found about making the fly was keeping the camera steady when I took the picture and held the materials and hook at the same time. I used 00 thread, a 3665A hook and one coat of Cellire. The fly was my first by hand in 30 years. Fingers do not want to respond anymore.

My step-by-step labors can be seen at: http://www.salmonflies.com/handrolledghost.htm

Only the River Knows

A truly different - and truly epic - fly-fishing DVD, which is very unlike most fly-fishing DVDs inasmuch as it has a story, a narrative. The story of two Scandinavian anglers fishing in New Zealand and getting lost, only to find a desolated cabin and a diary left behind. The diary possesses especially one of the anglers who relives the story in the booklet and seeks out the author.

Material shopping

Another podcast featuring GFF partner Martin Joergensen, this time pondering about the absurd prices of some fly tying materials - particularly synthetics, which can often be found on doll's heads, in craft stores and other places at a lot less than in your local flyshop.

Atlantic Salmon

The subtitle for this book is "An illustrated natural history", and that is exactly what it is. Author Malcolm Greenhalgh's text has all the facts you ever wanted to know about the Atlantic salmon and Rod Sutterby's illustrations are exquisite and his fishing pictures are fabulous.
