Jan 1. 2002	The Orange Silver	A fly which is just a piece of imagination created one evenning in march. I have been fooling around with a plain type of steelhead or salmon flies this last year. These are all signified by simple feather wings and the use of classic materials like floss, tinsel and plain feathers
Jan 1. 2002	The Rocket	During a recent gettogether with some Danish flyfishers I hauled out some of my cod flies. One of them was this one - The Rocket. They were quite excited about the fly - first of all because it's a light tube fly, second because it's very durable. They saw in it not only the cod fly that I had made, but also a pike fly, a fly for pike perch and a universal fly for all kinds of deep fishing for larger fish.
Jan 1. 2002	Harry Boyd	GFF's own bamboo rod expert and maker of these beautiful rods. Best known for his extremely popular series on making your own bamboo rods.
Jan 1. 2002	Peter Frailey	Pete Frailey lives with his wife and three teenage children in Carlisle, Massachusetts, some 30 miles west of Boston.
Jan 1. 2002	Jean-Marc Klees	Interests focus on: Firearms, Horses, Literature, Magazines, Scuba Diving, Whitewater Canoeing. I'm definitely a fan of Ernest Hemingway and Zane Grey, not to forget the Whiskies of the World!
Jan 1. 2002	Muddler mania - Small Polar Muddler	A small muddler
Jan 1. 2002	Muddler mania - Full Metal Jacket Nutria Muddler	A conehead muddler/zonker
Jan 1. 2002	Lee Wulff	Lee Wulff was a quintessential fly-fisherman. From earliest childhood growing up in Alaska, Lee and the outdoors were two intertwined threads in the pattern of a long and accomplished life.
Jan 1. 2002	Tying Flies the Paraloop Way	Dig out your gallows tools, you're gonna need it after you read this book. My first thought was probably the same as yours - what is "paraloop"?

2001

Dec 15. 2001	The Bumble Bee	This pattern was originally made one evening when I was tying with some friends. My friend Henning had some light SLF left over from one of his flies. I scavenged the SLF and started a fly on a heavy Tiemco hook. The tail was casually made from some natural bucktail that I had brought.

Oct 10. 2001	Advertising policy	The Global FlyFisher is fully non-commercial and does not sell or exchange advertising space.
Oct 10. 2001	The Bottle Cleaner	This is an old favorite. Good under almost all conditions and with a lot of trout in its history.
Oct 10. 2001	The Black Frede	The Grey Frede is a surefire pattern for sea trout. It's a very versatile and robust fly that has become very popular. I decided to tie a darker version of the same fly.
Oct 10. 2001	Bunny Leech	This is a steelhead pattern, normally made with black or purple rabbit. But with natural rabbit it makes a very good pattern for the coast. By cutting a narrower strip of rabbit and choosing natural colors a lighter dressing is achieved. Good for spring fishing and fishing in current like over reefs.
Oct 9. 2001	Crazy Dane	Anybody can see that the Crazy Dane is really a Crazy Charlie - a very common salt water fly from the U.S. This type of fly is rarely seen in our part of the world, and I know no other fishers that use it.
Oct 9. 2001	The Fair Fly	This fly is a larger and more imitative variation of the Squirrel Zonker. The addition of the eyes and the heavy hair hackle makes the fly more fishlike and the Fair Fly is a good imitation of a sculpin.
Oct 9. 2001	Christmas Tree	Again a 'classic' Danish fly. Actually only uses one significant material: a piece of mylar tubing. Body can be covered with yarn or floss to add color. A really good fly for cold or unclear water. Fish deep and slow in the winter.
Oct 9. 2001	David	Even though the pattern was inspired by a technique showed to me by Davy Wotton, it's not named after him, but after my little brother David. The material is rabbit fur in tufts, tied in on top and under the hook shank.
Sep 14. 2001	Morrisfoam Diver	"My, what an ugly fly!" Henning glances with disgust at the brightly colored foam fly shining from the hook rest on my 5 wt. Learn more about the Morrisfoam Diver for sea trout.
Sep 11. 2001	Grey Frede	I had the distinct pleasure of meeting the Danish shoreline fly fisher Peter Loevendahl, who is a discrete man. He goes around quietly in his native western Seeland and catches fish. A lot of fish.
Sep 10. 2001	Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies	Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies by Paul Marriner should not be viewed as simply a book.
Sep 9. 2001	A Black Fly	I've had little experience fishing with this fly which is quite recent in my collection. It has all the characteristics of a good night fly, it's fast and easy to tie and durable too. It should be a fly worth having in you box.
Sep 8. 2001	An experiment	What else would you expect to find in a lab...? This fly is one of the many that I seem to crank out at random. Most of them end up as garbage and never even find their way into my fly boxes, but this one had something. Just a little something.
Sep 7. 2001	Sand eel/lance	The sand eel or lance - called the tobis in Danish - is one of the most common fish on the Dansih coasts, and is an important part of the diet of especially larger sea trout and cod for that matter. Because of that it is an interesting fish to imitate.
Sep 4. 2001	Henning's Snot	This fly was originally developed by Henning Eskol, a member of the Bananaflies - my fly tying guild.
Sep 3. 2001	Wind considerations	The wind is an important factor whan fishing the Danish coastline.
Sep 3. 2001	The Spade - Green GP feathers	The fly will probably look like something the cat dragged in, when it's been cast a couple of times. But still: I'll give it a try. I've always loved tying with golden phesant (GP) feathers.
Sep 2. 2001	Salt water spiders	The least dressed fly of all. The classic spider fly has to be one of the least dressed flies of all times. A slender body and a thin hackle - and that's it.
Sep 1. 2001	Gift wrapping string fly	I have some remote relatives in Boston who occasionally sends over christmas gifts to my kids. This year the gifts were packed with some particularly interesting string. This string was braided in the colors red and green with some shiny material laid in. It said "flies" all over it! I scavenged the remains from the unpacking and stoved it away between my fly tying materials.
Aug 29. 2001	Muddler spec.	Muddlers are mostly used for dusk or night fishing in the summer. Muddlers will work in the surface, streaming, making a wave wich can be seen by the fish against the light sky. Muddlers move a lot of water and form a good profile. Almost any type of muddler can be used for this fishing although dark and black patterns seem best.
Aug 11. 2001	West Carry Dace	"All dace are not created equal". Although they may look pretty much the same to us, fish much prefer the females with their orange and yellow bellies. I soon noticed that when I sewed on this colorful variation, a strike was not far off.
Jul 30. 2001	Flatwing swap	Last spring, the members of the Streamer email list participated in a Flatwing Streamer Swap. This swap, hosted by Ron McKusick, was a very enjoyable affair and a number of innovative and productive patterns were shared amongst the swap participants.
Jul 10. 2001	Glimpses of Maine's Angling Past	This is a very unique and interesting little book. No fly patterns. No fishing techniques. It is basically what the title implies - a portal into the past of one of the most historically significant states in the U.S. with regards to fishing and in particular, fly-fishing.

Feb 6. 2001	Hornbergs	The Hornberg can be cast out upstream and drifted as a dry fly. It can be pulled under the surface and stripped as a streamer. Is it a caddis? Stonely? A minnow? In early '01, a bunch of guys swapped their favorite Hornberg patterns.
Feb 3. 2001	Book review policy	One of the most popular parts of our site is the Reviews section. A good mixture of product and literature reviews are a heathly addition to a global site such as ours.

Feb 1. 2001	Deep in my heart	Deep in my heart, I prefer stream flyfishing for trout. However, Holland has precious few trout class streams, and next to none fishable trout, so most of my local flyfishing is for warmwater species. In fact all of my stream trout fishing happens abroad, mainly in the States, as well as in Belgium and Denmark.
Feb 1. 2001	Eric Arbogast	Born to fish on June 19th, 1971 in Luxembourg, but definitely forced to work, right now as an Administrative Agent for the Chamber of Commerce of Luxembourg.
