Mar 9. 2006	Material shopping	Why are synthetics so ridiculously expensive?
Feb 28. 2006	La Muerte	You need luck, a good guide and skills to catch a tarpon. We can't supply the luck. You'll have to go there to get a good guide. The skill... well, you'll have to hone that yourself. But a good fly pattern, that's something we can help with.
Feb 27. 2006	Tribute to MOM	The flies Mary documented were, invariably, ornate wet flies. They were, and are, the legacy of centuries of British salmon fly design spiced by the natural resources and original thinking available to their American interpreters.
Feb 27. 2006	Czech Nymphing	The principle of nymph-fishing with Czech nymph is short-distance fishing, practically under the tip of the rod. The flyline is hanging under the tip of the rod and its end often does not even touch the water level.

Feb 17. 2006	Use a fill flash	More ways to improve your fishing photos. This time about using your flash in bright daylight - even in sunshine. You might think that the flash on your camera is for taking pictures when it's dark. Wrong!
Feb 16. 2006	Go low	One of the most common errors we see when we see people taking pictures is that they are looking down on their subject. If you want pictures, which grab attention and have impact a good way is to lower your stance. Bend, kneel, sit even lie down to get below your motif.
Feb 16. 2006	Rackelhanen	It will form legs, wing, body and the perfect silhouette of a caddis. It's a great floater and superb for fast water or as an indicator tied on above a seductive nymph.
Feb 16. 2006	Wading	A bit about wading, wading boots, wading staffs -- and what to do when you fall
Feb 15. 2006	Casting instruction instruction	No, it's not an error. It's supposed to say instruction instruction. I want someone to instruct casting instructors

Feb 8. 2006	PeeMew Midge	In the vise, this pattern may not look exciting, but when wet, this fly takes on a whole new personality! It's a simple pattern for complex trout. Be sure to read Steve's "Tips for the Curious Fly Tier" which explains how this pattern came about and
Feb 7. 2006	Tabou Caddis Emerger	See Steve tie the Tabou Caddis Emerger.
Feb 5. 2006	Go close	This is the first little article in a small series on taking better fishing pictures. The first chapter is about going closer to your subject when you photograph. The closer you go, the better you get the picture focussed and the viewer's attention.
Feb 4. 2006	Cold but no ice	A foggy February day turns in to a perfectly beautiful sunny day. But no fish want to play.
Feb 3. 2006	The Tabou Caddis Emerger	Made with only two materials, this highly effective caddis emerger pattern will take only minutes to tie and allow you to load up your fly box with the Global FlyFisher's hottest new pattern.
Feb 1. 2006	Dogma framing	Framed flies can be pieces of art - both the flies and the framing. But creating your own framed flies is not that difficult. Follow these instructions and frame your first fly with few tools and few demands on routine and skill. You can develop it into art later.
Jan 30. 2006	A winter walk	On the lookout for winter sea trout in a stream near Copenhagen
Jan 29. 2006	Flexible bench	German Jan-Ole Willers wanted to be able to clear his vise, tools and materials off the dining table for such unimportant events as lunch and dinner. That made him think out and build his own inexpensive portable fly tying bench. You can do the same.
Jan 26. 2006	Danish winter	When King Winter and the Ice Queen reign over the waters the fishing slows down. What better to do than to get out your camera and snap some pictures of the beautiful landscapes, icy hardship and the rare but well-deserved fish.
Jan 24. 2006	Angel Body	Shiny tubing materials are widely used as body material on streamers. So is ordinary tinsel. Here is a new way of making glittering, but more volumnious, pulsating and living bodies for your streamers using Angel Hair or a similar material.
Jan 24. 2006	My Eyes!!	Painting eyes on streamers is nothing new, but as with any other tying procedure, there are some tricks that can help, and some pitfalls that should be avoided. This article shows you how to do it on-the-cheap with readily available materials.
Jan 24. 2006	Slinkies	One of the most effective methods of drifting a fly through deep pools in Great Lakes steelhead rivers is to use a slinky. You can buy slinkies from a shop, but you will pay a premium. The components are pretty cheap and they are very easy to make at home.
Jan 24. 2006	Bergman	Converting a fly from one form to another is certainly an educational process, as it requires you to look at materials in a new way, especially the wing materials. A wet fly that calls for a wing of mallard flank or mottled turkey has no obvious equivalent in a hairwing.
Jan 23. 2006	ZipCast	When the bottle came in the mail, I got out an old hankie and wet a small bit and ran the line through the hankie a few times. Out to the yard to see how it cast. Hmm ... it was noticeably slicker and flowed through the guides with ease. Nice.
Jan 22. 2006	The Cautery	Martin Joergensen writes: "I always wanted one of these tools. I have seen them used at fly tying shows and by a few tyers elsewhere, and found the tool to be an excellent companion for the lazy and sloppy fly tyer. Just my kind of tool!"

Jan 15. 2006	Podcast intro	Go fishing with Global Flyfisher on your mp3-player, your iPod or just download our podcast to your computer and listen. The first test is up, and you can enjoy 20 minutes on a cold Danish January-coast with GFF partner Martin Joergensen and his dog.
Jan 13. 2006	OEDDS	How many of your flies work both in salt and fresh water? How many of these actually look like something real? The Deep Diving Shrimp is such a fly. Oliver Edward's allround Gammarus imitation works equally well everywhere you find this very widespread animal.
Jan 13. 2006	The Junior Mysis	A fly tied for sea trout in the Baltic area. It proved to be efficient in other places too. Translucent and yet colored. Tie it in olive, rusty or tan and you can imitate any camouflaged mysis—and it will stand out from the crowd. Can be tied by seniors too...

This article gives you some ideas on how to make one yourself.

Dec 29. 2005	Une Création	We crank out some strange flies every now and then. Get an idea, dig through piles of materials and tie up a handful of slightly different flies, each one better than the previous one, but none of them really good. But sometimes one comes out OK.
Dec 28. 2005	Fish Fights: A Hall of Fame Quest	This is a first! I have read many books, which I had a hard time putting down once I started, but never a fishing book. Not until this one at least.
Dec 24. 2005	Merry Christmas	The Global FlyFisher staff wishes everybody a very merry Christmas - and a happy New Year if we don't see you before then. A Christmas Fly saw its way into Martin's fill-the-box-project. A slightly more colorful variation of his usual drab and dull flies.
Dec 22. 2005	The Trout and the Fly	At first glance this 2005 edition of a 25 years old book does not seem very impressive.
Dec 22. 2005	Merlin's Daily Fishing Calendar 2006	Do you need a last minute Christmas gift idea for an angler? Well, Merlin's Daily Fishing Calendar could be a very good suggestion for such a gift.
