2006

Date	Title	Body	Image
Apr 14. 2006	Flies as art
Apr 14. 2006	Flyfishing in Ireland
Apr 14. 2006	Atlantic Salmon: An Illustrated Natural History	The subtitle for this book is "An illustrated natural history", and that is exactly what it is.
Apr 13. 2006	Wingless Wets	On a shelf in the shop was a little book that was propped open. It was Leisenring and Hidy's The Art of Tying The Wet-Fly and Fishing The Flymph. Inside, I found a treasure of patterns and some fishing instructions and I suddenly switched gears and began fishing these great little flies.
Apr 13. 2006	Creative Fly Tying	I'm going to work this review backwards and do the complaints first.
Apr 13. 2006	A New Generation of Trout Flies	Ok - so - how happy was I to see that someone finally convinced Scott Sanchez to write a book?
Apr 13. 2006	The Mango	The Mickey Finn is one of the first streamers many beginning fly tyers learn to tie. Kasper Muehlbach never used it and for years a yellow and orange fly was missing in his fly box. Last year he was inspired to tie a replacement.
Apr 13. 2006	Classic Wet Flies	Wet flies have been around as long as fly fishing itself. Are they starting to see a renaissance? In fly tying circles at least, that may be the case, as tyers look for new challenges and new sources of inspiritaion.
Apr 13. 2006	Fishy pictures	We want to capture our fish in two ways: first on the hook and then in the camera. Once the fish has been hooked many of us already envision the poster on the wall, the image in the online gallery or just a print to show to the fishing buddies.
Apr 12. 2006	Bring it!	One of the most common reasons for not getting the really good fishing images is that people simply don't bring their camera. Either they leave it at home - which is really stupid - or they leave it on the bank - which is just moderately stupid.
Apr 11. 2006	Strange X-mas	A Christmas Tree out of season
Apr 10. 2006	Strange X-Mas	Minnow, sand eel, fry. This little fly will imitate most small, transparent fish. Based on a now-classical Danish sea trout fly with an added zonker strip, there is little new under the sun. But it does catch fish as pictures in the article will show you.
Apr 3. 2006	Opening Day - After	Still 15,000 fish shy
Mar 31. 2006	Opening Day!	The Opening Day of Trout Season is tomorrow here in New York.
Mar 31. 2006	Locked and Loaded	One of my pre season chores is sorting out my flox boxes. You know - discarding flies that have outlived their usefulness, adding to stock from all the winter tying, and generally tidying up.
Mar 30. 2006	Bornholm!	The annual trip to Bornholm is now. Yieeehaaaa!
Mar 30. 2006	The Nedbank guide to flyfishing South Africa	I have had the good fortune of fishing with several South African fly anglers over the years, and apart from being great anglers and very nice people (like most anglers I meet), they all left me wi
Mar 30. 2006	Fish Flies I and II	This is an amazing couple of books! Volume one has been sitting on my bookshelf for many years and I have had it out many times to check facts about various patterns.
Mar 30. 2006	Fly Fishing the Great Western Rivers	Some books just have it all: great images, well written text, large format, beautiful typography and all the nice graphic details. But very few have gold print.
Mar 30. 2006	Fly Waters Near & Far	I have been lucky enough to fish quite a lot of places in this world. This book makes me humble in that respect.
Mar 30. 2006	Woolly Wisdom	A book which is any fly tier's wet dream - or nightmare - depending on your angle of observation and approach to flies and fly tying.
Mar 28. 2006	Windy casting	This time out fishing and even catching fish - although not on the recording.
Mar 27. 2006	Yellow Fever	Imagine a fish that takes a fly as readily as a trout, whether it is nymph, a wet fly, or a dry fly. Czech nymph style, wet fly swing, North Country style or upstream dry fly. Now magine that, pound for pound, at least twice as strong as a trout
Mar 24. 2006	New forum	We did it! We exchanged our trusty old and lagging forum with a new and better one. Now, the forum isn't the busiest place on GFF, but this new software might do the trick and lure a few more people to share the fishing secrets with the rest of us.
Mar 24. 2006	Packing	Preparing for a weekend trip
Mar 20. 2006	Make that None	A long way from here to 15,000 trout
Mar 20. 2006	Like in zero?	Nada? Zilch? Riens? Intet? Nothing?
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 27. 2006	A million trout	This page doesn't promise that you will make a million dollar.
Feb 27. 2006	Make that 15,000	It was not a million trout, but 15,000
Feb 23. 2006	Forum thoughts	We have used the same forum system for a long time
Feb 23. 2006	The measure tape	10-20-30-40 meters? 30-60-90-120 feet? How long can you cast with a one hand rod? And how long does and average fly-angler actually cast? GFF partner Martin Joergensen has done some research and talked to some experts.
Feb 22. 2006	New shooting line	I don't change my habits easily, but this shooting line may be something I will start using
Feb 20. 2006	Casting a shooting head	An audio introduction to the world of shooting heads
Feb 18. 2006	Perfect Camera	If you're on the lookout for a new camera to take with you when you go fishing, there are a few things you need to consider before diving for your wallet. This article aims to point out some issues regarding size, facilities and accesories.
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 13. 2006	No Fly Fair!	A sad announcement indeed
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.
