Jan 30. 2006	A winter walk	On the lookout for winter sea trout in a stream near Copenhagen
Jan 29. 2006	Flexible bench	German Jan-Ole Willers wanted to be able to clear his vise, tools and materials off the dining table for such unimportant events as lunch and dinner. That made him think out and build his own inexpensive portable fly tying bench. You can do the same.
Jan 26. 2006	Danish winter	When King Winter and the Ice Queen reign over the waters the fishing slows down. What better to do than to get out your camera and snap some pictures of the beautiful landscapes, icy hardship and the rare but well-deserved fish.
Jan 24. 2006	Angel Body	Shiny tubing materials are widely used as body material on streamers. So is ordinary tinsel. Here is a new way of making glittering, but more volumnious, pulsating and living bodies for your streamers using Angel Hair or a similar material.
Jan 24. 2006	My Eyes!!	Painting eyes on streamers is nothing new, but as with any other tying procedure, there are some tricks that can help, and some pitfalls that should be avoided. This article shows you how to do it on-the-cheap with readily available materials.
Jan 24. 2006	Slinkies	One of the most effective methods of drifting a fly through deep pools in Great Lakes steelhead rivers is to use a slinky. You can buy slinkies from a shop, but you will pay a premium. The components are pretty cheap and they are very easy to make at home.
Jan 24. 2006	Bergman	Converting a fly from one form to another is certainly an educational process, as it requires you to look at materials in a new way, especially the wing materials. A wet fly that calls for a wing of mallard flank or mottled turkey has no obvious equivalent in a hairwing.
Jan 23. 2006	ZipCast	When the bottle came in the mail, I got out an old hankie and wet a small bit and ran the line through the hankie a few times. Out to the yard to see how it cast. Hmm ... it was noticeably slicker and flowed through the guides with ease. Nice.
Jan 22. 2006	The Cautery	Martin Joergensen writes: "I always wanted one of these tools. I have seen them used at fly tying shows and by a few tyers elsewhere, and found the tool to be an excellent companion for the lazy and sloppy fly tyer. Just my kind of tool!"
Jan 21. 2006	Fly Fishing the Best Rivers of Patagonia, Argentina	It is a stunning and mouth watering experience to let your fingers run through and your eyes run over this book.
Jan 19. 2006	South Swedish Sea Trout	Every year fishermen from all over the world visit the swedish shores and rivers, hoping their exertions will be rewarded with one of the large sea trout. Spin fishing is popular and effective. Is fly fishing possible or is it "Guru Meditation #8400001 - Unknown method"?
Jan 19. 2006	Server Blues	It seems to be the story of this site...
Jan 17. 2006	First GFF podcast ever	Join GFF partner Martin Joergensen on the Danish coast on a cold January day
Jan 16. 2006	Speyshal	Like most ideas... they mature slowly. It was not until late March that, during a private flytying tuition session to a talented, young colleague, I saw clearly in my mind what my Skunks would look like.
Jan 15. 2006	Podcast intro	Go fishing with Global Flyfisher on your mp3-player, your iPod or just download our podcast to your computer and listen. The first test is up, and you can enjoy 20 minutes on a cold Danish January-coast with GFF partner Martin Joergensen and his dog.
Jan 13. 2006	OEDDS	How many of your flies work both in salt and fresh water? How many of these actually look like something real? The Deep Diving Shrimp is such a fly. Oliver Edward's allround Gammarus imitation works equally well everywhere you find this very widespread animal.
Jan 13. 2006	The Junior Mysis	A fly tied for sea trout in the Baltic area. It proved to be efficient in other places too. Translucent and yet colored. Tie it in olive, rusty or tan and you can imitate any camouflaged mysis—and it will stand out from the crowd. Can be tied by seniors too...
Jan 10. 2006	Charts	Scores of unknown sites top charts
Jan 10. 2006	Wheee!	Why are we using a rod?
Jan 8. 2006	Surf Candy	Experimenting with epoxy might glue you to the tying bench for hours, days, weeks. You can make highly durable, translucent baitfish imitations using synthetics and epoxy. Some years ago Bob Popovic's book "Pop Fleyes" introduced Kasper Mühlbach to the Surf Candy.
Jan 4. 2006	DIY Tying Station	A tying station is a small, mobile board where you can set up your vise and your tools, making it quick and easy to move your favorite tying spot around: from the dinner table to the TV to the office to... the bed? This article gives you some ideas on how to make one yourself.

2005

Date	Title	Body	Image
Dec 29. 2005	Une Création	We crank out some strange flies every now and then. Get an idea, dig through piles of materials and tie up a handful of slightly different flies, each one better than the previous one, but none of them really good. But sometimes one comes out OK.
Dec 28. 2005	Fish Fights	This book took me from the Introduction through its seemingly endless (in the good way, that is) fishing stories.
Dec 24. 2005	Merry Christmas	The Global FlyFisher staff wishes everybody a very merry Christmas - and a happy New Year if we don't see you before then. A Christmas Fly saw its way into Martin's fill-the-box-project. A slightly more colorful variation of his usual drab and dull flies.
Dec 22. 2005	The Trout and the Fly	At first glance this 2005 edition of a 25 years old book does not seem very impressive.
Dec 22. 2005	Merlin's Daily Fishing Calendar 2006	Do you need a last minute Christmas gift idea for an angler? Well, Merlin's Daily Fishing Calendar could be a very good suggestion for such a gift.
Dec 20. 2005	Classic Clouser	Tied my first Clouser Minnows ever a few minutes ago. What a fly!
Dec 20. 2005	Clouser hook	A great tip for Clousers
Dec 16. 2005	Lamiglas	This past season, I had the pleasure of fishing rods built from two blanks from Lamiglas, the XMG50 and the "Blue Ridge". These two blanks are Ying and Yang, fast and slow, high modulus graphite and fiberglass. As different as can be.
Dec 15. 2005	Sören and Sara	Senior pike fisher Sören Essebo invited junior pike fisher Kasper Mühlbach for a day of... pike fishing at the South Swedish coast. Besides fishing they talked about Sörens web site, publishing on the internet and why he has fallen in love with White Pike Sara.
Dec 13. 2005	EZ quintet	EZ flies - that's what they are in the genuine all-American-marketing-way. Five classics with their patterns modified to be fairly easy and fast to tie - not least because of the simple body construction using braided tubing.
Dec 13. 2005	Amazing flies	Irish Open Flytying Championship has delivered some beautifult flies
Dec 13. 2005	Fly Fishing Warm Water Rivers	Before we get to the review, I have to confess that I am a bit biased, as I've known Joe for a few years through his involvement in a fly tying email group of which we're both members.
Dec 12. 2005	Fill-the-box	"I have severely neglected my day-to-day flybox for more than a year" writes GFF partner Martin Joergensen. Now he sets out to fill a box with hundreds of sea trout flies in preparation for the coming spring. He envisions rows of uniform and neatly arranged flies.
Dec 12. 2005	The Hatch	Interesting video about salmon fly hatch
Dec 12. 2005	Fishing Limestone Streams	Charles Meck is no stranger to fly fisherman, at least those in the mid-Atlantic states, as he's been writing books and articles about fly fishing since the 1960's.
Dec 12. 2005	Fly Fishing for Bass	There are a few things you can count on when you read a book by Lefty Kreh - good storytelling, just-the-facts brevity, a conversation tone to the writing, and lots of practical no-nonsense advice.
Dec 12. 2005	The Year of the Angler and the Year of the Trout	I've read a lot of books where the author seems to be very eager to impress the reader either with his skill, or knowledge, or abilities. You won't get any of that here
Dec 12. 2005	Bassin with a Fly Rod	When I first read "Bassin' with a Fly Rod", I knew that I had found a book to my liking when I read this passage:
Dec 10. 2005	Bass gizmos	Those bass guys sure know how to have fun!
Dec 9. 2005	Vltava-Dobrá	Kasper Mühlbach - GFF's eternal grayling hunter - takes on another challenge from the Lady of the Stream. This time he travels to the Czech Republic to learn from former Czech National Fly Fishing Team member Jan Siman. Does the Eastern European grayling differ from the Swedish one?
Dec 7. 2005	Nerd stuff	I sometimes get questions about the system and technology behind GFF
Dec 6. 2005	Great mullet video	I spent this evening drinking coffee and watching DVDs with some friends
Dec 6. 2005	David Allerton	David has contributed to the articles on several occasions. Look at:
Dec 5. 2005	Essential Patterns with Oliver Edwards	With the release of "Essential Patterns", Oliver Edwards and his production crew have raised the bar yet again for fly tying instructional video.
Dec 5. 2005	Smallmouth Jump	Mark Dysinger has been chasing smallmouth bass with the flyrod for many years, and during that time he's come across some surprisingly difficult fish. Super clear water and high fishing pressure can make these bass as fussy and easily spooked as any educated trout.
Dec 3. 2005	Don't freeze	GFF partner and avid winter fisher Martin Joergensen tries to convince you why breathable waders are good for winter fishing and why you may freeze in your trusty neoprenes. It has to do with sweat and moisture... or the lack of same.
Nov 30. 2005	Bow River Bugger	Al Grombacher has shared with us one of the most effective patterns for the Bow River in Alberta, Canada, famed for its excellent fishing for rainbow trout.
Nov 25. 2005	The Art of the Atlantic Salmon Fly	Reviewing a book originally from 1989 might seem a bit silly. Let me assure you it isn't! Reviewing a book written by J. D. Bates might seem a bit intimidating. Let me assure you it is!
Nov 25. 2005	Spey Flies and Dee Flies	I have always been fascinated by Spey and Dee flies.
