Two Centuries of Soft-Hackled Flies

This is the book that soft hackled aficionados have been waiting years to see.

Small Streams

Found a gem

Oh yeah - the fish

As pretty as the stream itself

Gurgler Mania

Bass love 'em

Three in Norway, by two of them

What an enchanting and entertaining book! I cannot recommend it enough.

Salmon, Trout & Charr Of The World

Two things attracted me by this book: the pictures and the price.

Pictures in books

I want more and better pictures in books

Little Devil

An article on the Welsh classic The Diawl Bach and on the intriguing and intimidating concept of fishing a team of three flies on a very long leader. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has been to Wales and this is the first article from that trip.

Never again!

The world of fishing stocked lakes

Going deep

This could be an article in a series called "Nymphing From Top-to-Bottom: The Untold Secrets". This article covers ways to get a fly to fish deep in the water by adding weight or using different lines and casting or mending techniques.

Strike Indicator Scientology

Strike indicators aren't just flyfishing bobbers; they do much more, if you know the secrets! Learn how to make and use them from GFF partner Steve Schweitzer.

Opening Day

A cold one

Last Minute Panic

Every year it's the same

Tears for Bornholm

Never good to hear of a fishing trip I will miss

Preparing for Bornholm

The annual Bornholm highlight is getting closer

Bornholm

Martin Joergensen's annual trip to the Danish island Bornholm is coming up. This year without GFF partner Steve Schweitzer by his side. Steve here tells the story of the 2002 trip, where they both indulged in fish, good food and friendship for a week.

Spring came - just for an hour, at least

Spring around the corner

Winter is slowly loosing its grip here in Denmark

More MicroBlunder Musings

Another useless microstink feature

Multiplexed Microsoft Mayhem

Why must meandering thru Microsoft apps be maming?

First fish

This year's first fish has been hooked

Danish Pastry Fly

This fly recently changed its name from The Copper Camel to The Danish Pastry Fly for reasons that are revealed in the article. It's an efficient and simple pattern for sea trout, but is very likely to be just as able to catch bass, bonefish and many other species.

O'io Boy'o!

The flats of Oahu in Hawai'i, harbor some of the largest bonefish in the world... although, Hawai'i isn't your typical bonefishing destination. Read why, how to do it and what you will catch

Bumpy Mexico

GFF partner Martin Joergensen took on the Mexican bonefish during a two week stay in Punta Allen north of Ascension Bay last winter. It wound up being a trip that was bumpy in more than one sense - both on and off the water. But with plenty bonefish.

Waterhen Bloa

All trout anglers should tie one

Stalcup's D Rib

I'm loving this stuff

Iceland, 5½ days

Iceland is best known for its salmon fishing, but the island has some of the world's best brown trout fishing too... and arctic char... and sea trout. So GFF partner Martin Joergensen and his friend Asger Olesen had 5½ great days of fishing the summer of 2003.

Backgrounds

The fly photo article series continues with a section on selecting a proper background for your fly photos. It might seem a trivial task, but trust us: it is not! The background can be everything from a uniformly colored surface to all kinds of materials in strange hues.

Simple Streamers

Ray Bergman is the originator of these three simple mixed wing streamers. The three were included in the updated version of Col. Bate's wonderful book "Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing". The combination of materials, the overall shape and color of the streamers really caught Bob Petti's eye.

Digitizing Flies

A digital camera with a good macro facility is the perfect way to take good fly pictures. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has updated his now classical Digitizing Flies article with a whole new chapter on selecting and using a digital camera for fly photography.

New facilities

Lots of news on GFF

Black Funnel

This fly is kind of a coincidence. An idea. A fad. But it works. It is a funnel dun, Deveaux, Joergensen kind of pattern, which will imitate a hatching mosquito - albeit a very large one in the original version. It consists of two materials and is very easy to tie.

Czech nymphs

Does anyone remember the early to mid 90's? The rage in the US, at least among tyers of trout flies, was Polish woven nymphs. Fast forward to the dawn of the new century and these articles and flies have all but disappeared? Were they a fad? What happened?

Largely painless server move

It seems that GFF runs as it should

How to Start the New Year's Right

Fishing for Hawg browns and 'bows in western tailwaters

New Zealand Trophy Waters

Seeing this footage of large trout in deep streams rising to nymphs - naturals and artificials - really stirs my appetite to go to New Zealand

Best wishes

Greetings from the GFF partners

First snow in DK, First skiing in CO!!

Not so bad out here in the mntns...

Lamson's new reels

Great stuff at good prices

First snow and New Zealand

We had the first snow in Denmark this night

Re: Czech Nymphing

I tied up a bunch of Czech Nymphs last year following Oliver Edwards' directions. They are easy flies to tie - given the proper materials - and look great.

Czech nymphing

Great Czech site on the subject

Bonefish Bitters

I started using the Bonefish Bitters while fishing on my own in Mexico. I wrote: "I continued using my Bitters and caught many more fish on them the following days. After two weeks of fishing I felt like a champion and was very satisfied with myself."

Disk Space Blues; Yippee for New Year's!!

Martin's disk space rebuttal: I agree. But let's think about New Year's!!!

Disk Space Blues

It happens every other month - GFF runs out of disk space

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
