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.

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

Don't wade, you idiot!

Why do many anglers stomp into the water and spook every fish in close distance before they even lay out their first cast? GFF partner Martin Joergensen recommends staying on land.

Car rod holders

The idea behind the rod holder is simple: it's a special made device, which allows you to strap the rods on the outside of the car, and drive while the rods are mounted in this way. The rods are strapped down fully rigged and assembled with reels, lines and even flies in place.

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.
