Apr 2. 2009	Bent Rods	This might be considered a strange and kind of exotic photography subject to write a whole article about, but looking at the images that my fishing friends and I shoot, I can see that it's a very popular thing to shoot. As soon as a fish is hooked, we rush to the scene, and get quite a few bent rod pictures.
Apr 2. 2009	Rügen bound	I'll be leaving for the first real spring fishing tomorrow - four days on German Rügen
Mar 29. 2009	Shark's Caddis Larva	This is a very simple fly imitating the caddis larva.

Mar 28. 2009	The Simplest Fly	“What is this” “A fly!” “What kind of fly” “Well, this is a fly that imitates a beetle” The fly that he showed me then was really huge one, may be about 2 - 2,5 centimeters or almost and inch in diameter. “Wow, why is it so big?” “Because I am an old man, I can not see well”
Mar 15. 2009	The Copper Bully	No sea trout box should be without a small Gammerus imitation, and the Copper Bully is one of the most efficient and easily tied ones. Consisting of very few materials in this version, it hardly gets any easier. It can also be a scud or a cress bug in a tight spot.
Mar 15. 2009	Hare's Ear Bug	Fished actively over sea weed and its likely to be mistaken for a gammarus. Same thing in a lake. Dead drifted or fished using a lift in a stream, it looks like a tumbling scud or cress bug or even a hatching caddis. What the fish think, I don't know, but it's a fact that they find it edible.
Mar 12. 2009	The Charlie Fly	The Charlie Fly was inspired by the underfur from the originator's Chocolate Lab. Ken Bonde Larsen's dog has unwillingly become the material manufacturer for this great sea trout producer. As it often is with Danish with sea trout flies it's a small, generic pattern.
Mar 11. 2009	Shark's Wasp	Bulgarian fly tyer and fly angler Radoslav Kiskinov takes another stab at imitating a terrestrial insect - this time the wasp - and with usual skill he manages to produce a very life-like fly. Bulgarian anglers and Bulgarian fish love it.
Mar 11. 2009	Radoslav Kiskinov	Bulgarian fly fisher and fly tier Radoslav Kiskinov.
Mar 10. 2009	Domestic Fly	The common housefly is indeed... eh.... common, and an obvious insect to imitate. Bulgarian Radoslav Kiskinov has made a simple but very efficient pattern imitating Musca domestica using foam, raffia and peacock herl, which will catch several species when fished dry.

Dec 28. 2008	Brown Spinner	An old, no-fashion dry fly. The one, that GFF partner Kasper tied right after having learned to tie the Red Tag Palmer and the one, that gave him many of his first dry fly experiences some twenty years ago, when it all started for him together with his grandfather.
Dec 21. 2008	Big Hole Demon	A classical pattern originated back in the sixties - here adapted for Scandinavian sea trout fishing, but probably also useful for bass and other species as well as the brownies it was originally tied for. The fly is fairly easy to tie and we have made it even simpler.
Dec 19. 2008	Polar Perch	Perch and Shad are tasty baitfish that warmwater game fish love to snack upon. Modifying the classic Deceiver-style pattern yields a tasty fly that is easy to cast and won't tangle upon itself. Find out from GFF partner Steve Schweitzer the key steps required to tie

Dec 8. 2008	Tabou Daddy	Steve Schweitzer is at it again. He just can't stay away from those chick-a-bou feathers. Maybe it's because chick-a-bou is so versatile and incredibly buggy looking. After tying up four variations of a crawdad pattern, he finally found what worked best. See what he caught on his latest addition to the Tabou Series of flies and
Dec 6. 2008	The Omoe Brush	This fly is originally meant to be an imitation of a small clamworm like a small Nereis, but can be considered a generic pattern more than an exact imitation of these polychaetes. It takes its outset in the red body feathers of the Golden Pheasant.
Dec 4. 2008	Take me back	Join Thomas Weiergang on a road-trip in Chile. The only thing to worry about, is when to fish again. When he planned the trip, he marked down some likely looking blue lines on the map, but nothing could prepare him for what he found.

Dec 3. 2008	Winter fishing	No matter which season we are in the fish are there in the water, even in the winter.
