Waterhen Bloa

All trout anglers should tie one

Iceland, 5½ days

Iceland is best known for its salmon fishing, but the island has some of the world's best brown trout fishing too... and arctic char... and sea trout. So GFF partner Martin Joergensen and his friend Asger Olesen had 5½ great days of fishing the summer of 2003.

Stalcup's D Rib

I'm loving this stuff

Backgrounds

The fly photo article series continues with a section on selecting a proper background for your fly photos. It might seem a trivial task, but trust us: it is not! The background can be everything from a uniformly colored surface to all kinds of materials in strange hues.

Simple Streamers

Ray Bergman is the originator of these three simple mixed wing streamers. The three were included in the updated version of Col. Bate's wonderful book "Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing". The combination of materials, the overall shape and color of the streamers really caught Bob Petti's eye.

Digitizing Flies

A digital camera with a good macro facility is the perfect way to take good fly pictures. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has updated his now classical Digitizing Flies article with a whole new chapter on selecting and using a digital camera for fly photography.

New facilities

Lots of news on GFF

Black Funnel

This fly is kind of a coincidence. An idea. A fad. But it works. It is a funnel dun, Deveaux, Joergensen kind of pattern, which will imitate a hatching mosquito - albeit a very large one in the original version. It consists of two materials and is very easy to tie.

Czech nymphs

Does anyone remember the early to mid 90's? The rage in the US, at least among tyers of trout flies, was Polish woven nymphs. Fast forward to the dawn of the new century and these articles and flies have all but disappeared? Were they a fad? What happened?

Largely painless server move

It seems that GFF runs as it should

Fishing for Hawg browns and 'bows in western tailwaters

New Zealand Trophy Waters

I'm watching a guy wading an ice cold snow melt water stream in New Zealand as I write this. On a video of course (or should that be unfortunatly?).

Best wishes

First snow in DK, First skiing in CO!!

First snow and New Zealand

We had the first snow in Denmark this night

Re: Czech Nymphing

I tied up a bunch of Czech Nymphs last year following Oliver Edwards' directions. They are easy flies to tie - given the proper materials - and look great.

Czech nymphing

Great Czech site on the subject

Bonefish Bitters

I started using the Bonefish Bitters while fishing on my own in Mexico. I wrote: "I continued using my Bitters and caught many more fish on them the following days. After two weeks of fishing I felt like a champion and was very satisfied with myself."

Disk Space Blues; Yippee for New Year's!!

Martin's disk space rebuttal: I agree. But let's think about New Year's!!!

Disk Space Blues

It happens every other month - GFF runs out of disk space

Prince Nymphs

Mike Hogue drops by and offers us some variations of one of the all time popular trout flies - the Prince Nymph. By adding "a little flash and glamour", we have a few new things to try the next time we're getting skunked and want to try something different.

I just use my old breathables, layered underneath with lots of good warm stuff!

Re: Winter waders

The case for neoprene

Winter waders

In spite of what most people think, breathable waders are well suited for winter fishing

Lamiglas Appalachian

On your knees, casting to a small spot fifteen or twenty feet away. Float the line behind you and then "flick" the line foward. Man, I love this rod for that kind of fishing. It's like it knows what I want to do and casts a perfect narrow loop with impressive speed.

So this is Xmas..?!

It's unbelievable! The season is almost coming to an end...

Some new stuff coming up

Tying Contemporary Saltwater Flies

There is no question that saltwater fly fishing is a booming industry - at least compared to the much older pastime of trout fishing.

Imitative Fly Tying, Techniques and Variations

Ian Moutter, author of Tying Flies in the Paraloop Way, returns with his second book: Imitative Fly Tying.

Fly Rodding the Coast

No doubt that Ed Mitchell is an authority on coastal fishing. Judging from his book titles alone makes him one of the top experts on the subject.

Lucky me!

I fish - a lot, actually!

Mad dogs...

Mad dogs and Englishmen go fishing in Denmark in October

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.
