Aug 7. 2011	Patagonian salmonids	The fascinating story of the introduction of salmonids into Argentina and the Patagonian waters told by local guide Heiko Schneider. Without the work done by people a century ago, Argentina would be a very different fishing destination... if any at all.

Aug 1. 2011	Stevens FRS Special on Auction	It's been a while since I've seen one of these streamers on auction. It looks like an incredible specimen. The F.R.S. was named after Francis (Frank)...
Aug 1. 2011	Night of the Hex
Aug 1. 2011	Musky Country	This is in essence a portrait of two anglers telling about their relation to the toothy musky. Pike bums if I ever saw a couple.

Jul 21. 2011	Sea Trout Gear	This article will try to point you in the right direction when choosing equipment for coastal fishing for sea trout in Denmark and the Baltic. This kind of fishing usually involves a lot of casting. A lot! So the gear has to be easy to cast with - time and time again.

Jul 20. 2011	The Source - Iceland	I had a bunch of friends who were fishing in Iceland while I was watching this DVD (again) to review it. The DVD did undeniably make me a bit and envious.
Jul 17. 2011	The Terrible Muddler	This is the lazy man's muddler, the sloppy tier's muddler, the beginner's muddler. It's actually quite close in style to some of the first Muddler Minnows tied by Don Gapen back in the 30's.
Jul 17. 2011	The CDC & Elk family	Hans Weilenmann's CDC & Elk is a fly as good as they come. Still a lot of people - including Hans himself and the author of this article - have made variations. The article covers a whole bunch of CDC & Elk variations.

Jun 18. 2011	The Killer Shrimp	The Killer Shrimp hardly looks like anything. It's gray and translucent, sparsely dressed and inconspicuous. But it catches fish. It's a great fly for those bright and calm days where sea trout seem to be unwilling to take any fly.
Jun 17. 2011	The Bloody Zonker	This fly is a bright and tasty looking bite of feathers and fur that can sometimes be the key to luring a big trout. It's a variation of a variation of the Bloody Butcher.

May 24. 2011	Vatnsdalsá	The Icelandic salmon river Vatnsdalsá river is famous for its large fish.

This was the first full catch & release river in Iceland and is a role model for other rivers.
May 22. 2011	The Christmas Tree	This fly is primitive close to being embarrassing. It's even ugly. It uses one material only and a crude and synthetic one at that. But... and there's a but... GFF partner Martin Joergensen has to admit that it's an efficient fly. It catches a lot of fish.
May 21. 2011	The Clouserish	Very inspired by the Clouser style as well as the Thunder Creek, but not tied quite as any of the originals. The Clouser-ish will still go in the Clouser Deep Minnow category, and as all these flies it's an excellent and easy-to-tie fly.
May 21. 2011	Clouser Deep Minnow	Only a few patterns are as generally useful and widespread as the Clouser Deep Minnow. Only a few patterns have their own entry in Wikipedia, but the Clouser Deep Minnow is up there with the Woolly Bugger, the Muddler Minnow, Grey Ghost, Royal Coachman, Diawl Bach and a few others.
May 17. 2011	More Hook Updates!	I had a chance today to add a few more hooks to the reference section. Mustad 36685 Mustad 36717 Mustad 36808 Willis 10xl Unknown CS15 Imitation hook...
