Apr 2. 2010	Shooting lines	Shooting lines are used with shooting heads and the setup is very popular with many saltwater and salmon anglers as well as steelheaders. This article tries to cover the different types of shooting or running lines available on the market and talk about their good and bad sides.
Mar 29. 2010	New age epoxy	Epoxy isn't what it used to be.
Mar 27. 2010	1st spring trip	Just a few days ago we ventured on our first spring trip. Yes, this is mid-March, and we usually fish much earlier than that, but cold winter weather and ice covered water has kept us from the coast until now. I spotted this particular day in the weather forecast a week in advance. It begged for a fishing trip!
Mar 24. 2010	Pike on the Fly
Mar 22. 2010	Journey of a Thousand Casts	This is a very personal film, an very different film but also a very good film.
Mar 21. 2010	The Dead Drift
Mar 21. 2010	Equilibrium	A fishing film in the form of a classic documentary - and a good one of the kind. A close to perfect mix of environmental consciousness and fishing action, but all too short.
Mar 21. 2010	Mayfly Madness	This is a little and all too unknown fishing video gem.
Mar 12. 2010	Bonefish	Charles Rangeley-Wilson is an apparently mild-mannered Englishman who spends most of his time in the London area.
Mar 2. 2010	Colored Mono Eyes	Five pairs of mono eyes dipped in epoxy for just around 5,50€ or 7$. It sounds like a good business opportunity, but as a consumer it just pushes you to make your eyes your self. On a trip to Fyn this spring two Danes and an American-wanna-be-German made their own.
Feb 24. 2010	Das Cephalopod	Spring is near and the Cephalopod parade is about to begin. Blue Fish will soon arrive to partake in the high protein seafood buffet and there is also a gathering of Stripers to make it all worthwhile and goal oriented...
Feb 23. 2010	Capt. Paul Rose	North Carolina guide Paul Rose
Feb 23. 2010	Carp on the Fly	"Carolina blue skies, light and variable wind forecast with temperatures in the 90s were working to my advantage this July morning." Read Capt. Paul Rose's advice on carp fishing. Tactics, gear and flies. "Pound for pound their fighting ability surpasses all other freshwater fish."
Feb 19. 2010	Fly Reel Blues	The article is in essence about fly reels, but diverges into bikes and even cars, GFF partner Martin Joergensen wonders why fly reels have to be so expensive. When manufacturers can make cheap and long lasting bike hubs, why can't fly reels be the same?
Feb 17. 2010	Rise + Drift	I have taken the liberty of reviewing these two epic DVD's in one review.
Feb 17. 2010	Fly Line Blues	Once in a while Martin needs a different line than the one, which he has been using for a while, and he has to dive into his line stash. That makes him think about the crazy prices on fly lines and ways to buy lines cheaper and organize them better.
Feb 16. 2010	Squid Vicious	Each fall and winter Puget Sound hosts millions of Squid as they move into inland waters to spawn. Puget Sound local Kelvin Kleinman has created the Squid Vicious to imitate these protein rich morsels.

Feb 13. 2010	On sale!	Some things make no sense, but we do them anyway - like driving 3 hours out and 3 hours home to go shopping.
Feb 13. 2010	Shoot the weather	How do you frame wind? How is snow captured best? How do you protect your camera when you try to freeze a shower into a single image? No, it's not at all easy to get the impression of weather into that piece of mechanics and electronics we call a camera.
Feb 12. 2010	Jocelin LeBlanc	Jocelin LeBlanc is a well known figure in Eastern Canada & Quebec Fly fishing communities. A full time river guide on Québec North Shore Region, an accomplished fly tier & fly fishing instructor.
Feb 11. 2010	Pictures of nature	Don't forget that fishing is many other things than anglers, fish and casting. The animals we see, the landscapes, the flowers and all the little details.
Feb 9. 2010	Action Emerging Caddis	This fly is similar in outline to many existing caddis patterns, but has features unlike any caddis emerger pattern the originator has seen. It's based not so much on looking exactly like the real thing, but trying to get a fly to act like it.
Feb 7. 2010	Sinister Phly	Another variation on large saltwater flies from the hands of Pete Gray. Mainly for striped bass, but useful for other specied too. This is the sinister version for fishing in darkness - or for dead drifting at O'dark thirty as Pete puts it.
Feb 6. 2010	Another one!	Innocent fly anglers can also be lured into spending money on odd and probably worthless causes and products.
Feb 6. 2010	Aux Outardes River Pike	Pike fishing is not only possible in lakes. Some rivers offer great pike fishing, and there is no end to the number of great new fishing spots in Quebec's Aux Outardes River. The cold clear water offers fantastic trophy pike fishing.
Feb 5. 2010	Pete Gray	Pete Gray lives in Massachusetts in the eastern US and fishes the salt there.
Feb 3. 2010	Phar Side Phly	They all start out as PhuzzieNotions [R&D ideas rattling around in Pete Gray's noggin and looking for a place to happen]... and then materialize into PharSidePhlyz. Saltwater flies can all start here and become almost anything.
Feb 1. 2010	Small Fry
Jan 31. 2010	Rivers of a Lost Coast	This is once more a fishing DVD, which leans heavily on feature and documentary tradtions rather than fishing video traditions. And that's a good thing!
Jan 29. 2010	Jan's Giant Buzzers	I have always loved fishing buzzers for many years for trout, its just my favorite way of fly fishing except perhaps daddylonglegs. Most of my fishing is on reservoirs sometimes desolate windy rough places, where buzzers come into their own.

Jan 23. 2010	The Perfect Woolly	Many flies were developed from the Woolly Bugger, German Raoul Kempkes got back to it and created a very simple pattern which is extremely durable and very easy to tie. Only a few materials are needed to tie a great pattern which is highly versatile. The perfect Woolly Bugger!
Jan 23. 2010	Jim Roszel	"I have been an artist and fisherman my entire life. I realized a few years ago after catching a giant striped bass that I wanted a way to remember the fish so I painted the fish life-size with all of the details of the catch." says painter Jim Roszel.
Jan 19. 2010	Revolution	I feel a poem coming... Don't say that I didn't warn you! Here goes:
Jan 17. 2010	Chuck's FlutterStone	Fly fishing guide Charles Robinton has put some serious trial and error into the design of his Chuck's FlutterStone. He thinks the result has the ideal amount of action, buggyness and overall attractiveness packed into the perfect stonefly profile.

Jan 15. 2010	The Fluff	Fish must be stupid to mistake this simple and efficient pattern for something edible, and luckily they are and they do. Danish Per Gade leads you through the paces of tying and fishing The Fluff.
Jan 9. 2010	Favorite Streamer Swap	There's nothing like a good fly swap to get the fly tying knuckles cracked, the creative juices flowing again. The reasons for joining a swap are many - but for me it's fun to tie flies for something other than my fly boxes, and I truly enjoy the friendship and comraderie that comes with participating in a swap. It's not about who ties the best flies or who has the best feathers.
Jan 9. 2010	10 rules for C&R	The debate over catch and release (C&R) can get so heated sometimes that you forget what fishing is all about: having a good time by the water, enjoying nature – and catching a fish now and then.
