There are of course a lot more styles than this - I will add them as I think of them and get the time to draw them. Help me remember other styles. Drop me a mail or a comment, and I'll work on it. Until then you can study the different styles in this article.

I wish that I had found this site yesterday or earlier: it would have saved a lot of time spent in evading giving written instructions to a friend! I have nontheless now forwarded him the instructions from these pages some 24 hours after my hand written attempt!

Excellent site, a happy find! Thank you!

River Mandal

Salmon: ”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. Read his story here

Wadington shanks

Shanked up: Classics in a classic way. These flies may look like something of today, but the concept of Wadington shanks is old as Methusalem.

Facts about the Global FlyFisher

A Backyard in Nowhere

Lo and behold! A fishing DVD that warns about profanity, nudity, drugs and alcohol on the cover! And actually features it all inside along with some really well produced large pike fishing from Alaska and some portraits of people, locals, not-so-locals and strangers, who all have their characteristics and opinions. Heehaw!!
