From the 2011 International Fly Tying Symposium

I was finally able to make it down to the International Fly Tying Symposium to take in everything fly tying. My focus was mainly to check out all...

Jim Warner Swap

Jim Warner has been one of the most influential fly tyers in New England, especially for those who spend their time trolling and fishing streamers in the many lakes and ponds of the region. The gang of the streamers@ list recently had a swap of his great fly patterns.

Carrie Challenge II

Back in 2002 a bunch of guys on the streamers@ mailing list decided to tie some flies "in the hand" without the benefit of a vise. This year a new crop took up the challenge with a different fly - Carrie's Favorite - and tackled the Look Ma, No Vise challange.

Kai Nolting

Kai is German fly fisher and fly tyer based in Sauerland in Germany and a very good friend of GFF.

Essential Saltwater Flies

This book is some years old and can be bought used for about 10 US dollars, which makes it a very good deal, because this is an excellent book.

Saltwater Fly Patterns

Dyeing and Bleaching

As you probably already know I'm an avid proponent of buying used books, and because of this you often see reviews of books with a few years on their back.

Fifty more places to fly fish before you die

I have never been really fond of Chris Santella's book "Fifty places to Fly Fish Before You Die", which I bought several years ago.

New (old) books

Another bunch of books snuck their way into my life

AD Maddox

"She's a Ducati riding, Wyoming roaming, fly fishing girl born in Tennessee... " This is how fly fishing artist AD Maddox is introduced on her web site, and an introduction that has exactly the effect that I suppose was intended: I gotta know more about her!

Stepping into the Stream Q&A

We had the chance to ask Barbara Klutinis - the woman behing the video "Stepping into the Stream" a few questions regarding her film about fly fishing women.

A Backyard in Nowhere Q&A

The DVD "A Backyard in Nowhere" is something else. Fly fishing, sure, but also a different experience traveling, fishing, hunting and meeting people by the Innoko River system in Alaska. The team behind the video is Danish, and it was quite natural to grab a hold of them and get them to talk a bit about the background for the whole project.

A Backyard in Nowhere

After having seen this DVD, I'm reminded in many ways about my feelings after having seen the first of AEG's videos, Trout Bum Diaries.

Heads or Tails

Permit in Australia must be the new thing in fly fishing, judging from this DVD and a host online videos popping up during the last few years.

A new look

GFF has been looking the same for almost a decade, and even though we haven't changed anything radical, there are changes in appearance.

It's a very simple trick, which will make your life a lot easier. Put your feet in plastic bags before you stuff them into the waders. Simple as that!

Fly-fishing the 41st

This book is one of the best fly-fishing books I have read in a long time. One of the best books, period.

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 Blitz

After this book was in my hands I found it very hard to put down, and for a while it sucked my attention away from the party and guests

Pretty in pink

We only had a few takes and caught nothing - but we had a wonderful sunrise, saw a seal and three porpoises hunting close to the beach. The best way to get away from stress and daily routine and do nothing else than relax. What a morning!

Stepping into the Stream

A video about women fly fishing, and not just about fly fishing, but also about connecting with nature and themselves.

The shoulder thing

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

Grantham's Sedge

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

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

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
