Mar 8. 2007 Waiting for spring GFF partner Martin Joergensen has a severe case of cabin fever. Too much work. Too long winter. Too much wind. Too little fishing.

Mar 1. 2007 Philadelphia on the Fly I wish I had more books like this one in my fishing library. I do have a few. Books like Rob Rich's Fish Fights, LaFontaine's Fishing High Mountain Lakes and Bob Nunley's Extreme Fly Fishing spring to mind. Review 17 years 1 month

Feb 22. 2007 The Real Rag Worm Every year in March and April the rag worms emerge from the bottom to secure the next generation. They swim freely in the water, wiggling from one side to the other. Sea gulls feed on the from above and many fish species seem to focus on them from beneath. Article 17 years 2 months
Feb 18. 2007 Kola on a Budget Fishing on the Kola Peninsula is usually connected with everything but low price fishing. However, it is still possible to organize a trip for large, golden, Russian brown trout and pay no more than 500 Euros per person including everything. Article 17 years 2 months

Feb 6. 2007 Clear Water We all love these shots of stunningly clear water. Streams, lakes even the ocean can appear almost ethereal in the way that the bottom is visible in your shot.

Jan 25. 2007 A Passion for Pike It's nice sometimes to bump into a different book, and Dutch Ad Swier's pike book is different. Pike books are not common, and books from the Netherlands are not common, but what makes this book really stand out is the author's very personal approach to the whole affair: the pike, the gear and the flies, the writing, the illustrations and the approach to fishing altogether. Review 17 years 2 months
Jan 25. 2007 Summer in Europe It's rare to see European fly fishing DVD's an even rarer to see an Eastern European fly fishing DVD. This is one. Polish brothers Andrej and Peter Polcic have captured a delightful trip through Europe on film, and edited the whole thing with lots of good music into half an hour of appetizing fishing from small and large rivers and lakes in Europe.

Jan 21. 2007 Matt Zudweg American artist Matt Zudweg creates the most amazing carved and painted works in wood.

Dec 2. 2006 The Rise In my ways, fly fishers and fly fishing are a lot like cooks and cooking. There are trained and certified professionals, part time hobbyists, celebrities, long honored traditions, well known recipes, several popular magazines, centuries' worth of books, and an entire industry built around the subject. Review 17 years 4 months
Dec 2. 2006 Tigerfish from my Verandah When you speak to old timers about fishing for tigerfish on the Zambezi River they will tell you of driving along dirt roads, cutting a path through the forest to get access to the river. Lions still running wild, and while they fished elephants chased anglers away from the bank. This is not how it is today. Article 17 years 4 months
Nov 30. 2006 Asp Parade Some refer to the asp (Aspius aspius) as the "poor man's tarpon" but according to Hungarian Vilmos Varga it's a quarry onto itself, worth pursuing with a fly rod and a bunch of large streamers, giving you a lot of fun and something new to catch. Article 17 years 4 months
Nov 28. 2006 The Trout Whisperers This is the first fly fishing novel I have ever read. In fact, it might be the first one I've ever heard of, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm also not a literary critic, so I don't even know if I'm qualified to review the book. I guess the best I can offer is the perspective of the target audience - a fly fisherman who enjoys reading books. Review 17 years 4 months
Nov 28. 2006 Nymph-Fishing Rivers and Streams Rick Hafele should be a well known name to most fly fishers. He's been the entomology columnist for American Angler magazine for years, co-authored the successful "The Complete Book of Western Hatches" with Dave Hughes, and did a popular video for 3M called "Anatomy of a Trout Stream" which co-starred a large fish-shaped rock. Review 17 years 4 months
Nov 28. 2006 Bob Jacklin's Yellowstone Ties Bob Jacklin is one of a handful of true legends in Fly Tying, and certainly needs no introduction here. In this DVD, he ties six of his favorite flies for fishing western trout waters - Grey Wulff, Royall Wulff, March Brown Nymph, Green Drake, Platte River Special, and Great Western Stonefly. Review 17 years 4 months
Nov 27. 2006 A Passion for Steelhead Dec Hogan is well known in the fly fishing world as a master of the two-handed fly rod, but until I picked up "A Passion for Steelhead" I did not know much about Dec Hogan the angler. 313 pages later, that surely has changed, almost to the point where I feel the book's title is a bit of an understatement. Review 17 years 4 months

Nov 12. 2006 Thin Blue Lines Lithuania's 758 rivers, streams, and brooks cut like thin blue lines across the map offering a wealth of fishing opportunities. British Ripley Davenport married a Lithuanian girl and this opened his eyes to the Blatic state's potential. Article 17 years 5 months
Nov 1. 2006 Honey Shrimp There are thousands of shrimp patterns in the world, made from the same template. This pattern is a time consumer, but it makes it more interesting tying shrimp flies. The eyes, proportions and legs gives this pattern some kind of magic. Article 17 years 5 months
Oct 31. 2006 Mel Krieger's Patagonia The first words spoken on this DVD are: "Every so often in life comes a person that is one step above the rest...", and it continues talking about Mel Krieger - who is the person in question as "Not just any mortal...". Review 17 years 5 months
Oct 30. 2006 Chuck-n-Duck Chuck-n-duck fishing isn't for everyone. Morality aside, it is an effective angling technique, one worth learning if you find occasionally find yourself in a situation where drifting a nymph along the bottom of a distant lie is the difference between catching and casting practice. Article 17 years 5 months

Oct 27. 2006 Streams of Consciousness I will admit right now that I had never heard of Jeff Hull prior to reading his new book "Streams of Consciousness". Obviously, I have been living with my head in the sand, or - more likely - way too close to a laptop screen, because his resume is pretty impressive, with writing credits for some big time magazines. Big time as in "known outside the fly fishing world". Review 17 years 5 months

Oct 23. 2006 Martin Westbeek Tying has become as much a passion for Dutch Martin Westbeek as fishing, and Martin is a regular tyer at shows and fairs in Holland, Germany, Denmark and Britain, and also tied in the USA. Article 17 years 6 months
Oct 23. 2006 Mart's Bibio A nice thing about this Bibio is that it's versatile. Play with it, use lighter of heavier hooks, fish it with or without floatant, wrap a thinner or denser hackle, and so on. But make sure you have some Bibios in your flybox spring suddenly is here. Article 17 years 6 months
Oct 13. 2006 Hen Hackle Awhile back, I received a shipment of hen necks and saddles from Whiting Farms. The saddles struck me with their intense colors and solid web, then necks with their stem length and shortish barbs. These feathers were perfect for the wet flies I was working on. Article 17 years 6 months

Oct 9. 2006 Fall Colors Autumn is my favorite time of year.

Here, finally, we get to see some of the patterns listed in the back of the book that did not have supporting photographs. Article 17 years 6 months
Oct 4. 2006 Eyes of Epoxy Tired of buying eyes, that make your shrimps look great? They are expensive and yet it is hard to find the color you want or the right size.
