Comments:
The motivation for this fly began after finding a spool of Kreinik metallic ribbon with the intriguing color name "Vatican Gold". Since this body material already had some religious overtone, my thought was to link this with some other kind of religious symbolism. I had remembered something being written about 'tongues of fire' descending upon the disciples, and that mental imagery seemed bold enough for a truly 'hot' attractor pattern. A combination red/orange wing would be fiery enough. The Vatican Gold ribbon gave it some flash, and peacock sword for contrast and just because I like it (though, one could further symbolize that the green represents a few dollars for the collection plate on Sunday).

Better fishing pictures: fishy, fishy!

We want to capture our fish in two ways: first on the hook and then in the camera. Once the fish has been hooked many of us already envision the poster on the wall, the image in the online gallery or just a print to show to the fishing buddies.

Kelsongasm!

If you are into classical salmon flies, great writing and excellent fly photography the book The Essential Kelson is a very good reason to set yourself back £35.-. Terry Griffiths and Marvin Nolte have outdone themselves.

What I (don't) want from a fly fishing video

In this article Martin looks at some specific production methods, which are often used by fly fishing video producers. It seems that certain little tricks or styles have become fashionable, and can be found in lots of videos - on longer DVD's as well as in shorter online videos.m

Danish gallery

A few photos to give you an idea of how GFF partner Martin Joergensen spent his domestic fishing days in the first part of this year - primarily in pursuit of his beloved sea trout, but also out to get some pike and other species.
