Feb 15. 2000	The Fly Fishing Show 2000	Below we present you a brief pictorial essay of The Fly Tying Show, Saturday January 29, 2000.
Feb 10. 2000	Bobs Garage	There is a story behind "The Garage". Not too long ago my wife and I were renting a two story house that had a tiny little room upstairs with no closet. Since we already had a spare bedroom for family visitors, this room was quickly claimed as the "Sports Room".
Feb 1. 2000	Book column February 2000	A Selective Historic Overview of Fly Fishing
Feb 1. 2000	Tube Muddler	A great looking tube fly
Jan 28. 2000	Simo Lumme	He send me copies of some of his own creations and moreover delicate watercolour drawings of his in Scandinavia very famous Sedge Pupa - imitation. As his flies are very little known in Europe, I shall try to give a description.
Jan 27. 2000	Atlantic Salmon Handbook	Although this book is riddled with errors it does convey the basic information that a beginning Atlantic salmon fisher would need.
Jan 20. 2000	Monofilament eyes	These eyes are actually quite easy to make, but can tease a bit if you want to do them both on the same piece of monofile -- which is the neatest way to do things.
Jan 15. 2000	Common casting errors	In the following little animations I will show you the most common casting errors. I observe these errors very often, but with a little practice it is very simple to correct the causes for these errors. If you know the reason for such an error it is easy to kill the cause through excercises, believe me.
Jan 11. 2000	Susquehanna Smallmouth patterns	If you mention smallmouth bass fishing in Pennsylvania, the Susquehanna River immediately comes to mind. This article features 14 efficient flies for Susquehanna smallmouth from the hands first time contributor Robb Nicewonger.
Jan 11. 2000	Better tinsel bodies	How to tie a nice, even, ribbed tinsel body. Here's one way. The description assumes that you want a silver body. If you want gold, just replace 'silver' with 'gold' below.
Jan 10. 2000	Herb Welch flies	If I was sitting with ten fellow trout fisherman and mentioned the name "Herbie Welch", I would probably get ten quizzical looks.
Jan 10. 2000	Nutria muddler	A large surface muddler for all fish that eat in the darkness.
Jan 10. 2000	Opossum	A simple fly for sea trout.
Jan 9. 2000	Bead chain eyes	You will see that many of the Danish saltwater flies - The Magnus, Bjarke and Grey Frede are prime examples - have bead chain eyes. These eyes serve two purposes: weight and imitation. The eyes will add quite a bit of weight in the front end of the fly and the beads obviously look like eyes. Their shiny surface even adds an attractive feature that will glimpse and get the attention of the fish.
Jan 8. 2000	George F. Grant’s Flies	George F. Grant's flies utilize some very special techniques.
Jan 1. 2000	Book column January 2000	This is where it all starts You are what you eat! You are what you read! Garbage in garbage out!
Jan 1. 2000	Spey Hackles	I've been fascinated with spey flies for a long time. The first I had ever seen was a Purple Spey tied by Tim Purvis, which arrived in a swap of steelhead flies a bunch of us FF@'ers exchanged several years ago. The next was an Olive Spey tied by Juro Mukai in a swap of atlantic salmon flies.
Jan 1. 2000	Woodduck Flank	I have to admit a particular fondness for woodduck flank. Ever since I was given my first baggie of feathers from a duck hunting friend, I was smitten. The color - the texture - the barring of the feathers.
Jan 1. 2000	Thunder Creek flies	Kieth Fulsher was particularly concerned with the size of the head and the eyes. He didn't feel that thread heads with painted eyes or jungle cock eyes appropriately represented the large head of a minnow.
Jan 1. 2000	Virginia Blue-Ribbon Streams - A Fly-Fishing Guide	Overall, I don't like where-to-fish guidebooks. Most of them are poorly researched, poorly written, and generally useless. This volume, however, proves the exception to the rule.

Dec 30. 1999	Derek from SA	South African friend Derek goes to the Danish coast to try some sea trout fishing. Since he always comes during Christmas, it is bound to be cold.
Dec 11. 1999	The Red Fly	A large colorful fly for cod fishing.
Dec 10. 1999	Dave Lewis, USA	Late Dave Lewis was a master rod builder. We still host a few of his online articles.

Dec 5. 1999	Chillimps	Small orange fly for for garfish
Dec 1. 1999	Tying Foam Flies	What stirred my interest in this book was Charles Garwood's article on foam flies for panfish. In this he mentions Skip Morris as his inspiration. During a recent visit in Seattle I stumbled over the book, and as it's absolutely reasonable priced and looked very interesting, I immediately bought it.
Nov 11. 1999	Rangeley swap	It was inevitable that the folks on Raske's "Streamers" mailing list would eventually partake in a swap of Rangeley style streamers.
Nov 1. 1999	Valeur's Pike Streamer	This amazing fly is ment for pike. It's caught a lot already on the line of originator Morten Valeur who states that this is one of the few flies he can truly call his own.
Oct 10. 1999	Cone head flies	A few early samples of Danish fly tyer Ken Bonde Larsen's cone head flies.
Oct 4. 1999	The South African Fly Fishing Handbook	When Dean Riphagan's book, "The South African Fly Fishing Handbook" arrived at my doorstep, I could only imagine what was inside the package.
Oct 1. 1999	Waterworks ULA reel	Larger arbor reels are much touted as the best thing since sliced bread. A reel that's designed and tooled like the ULA reel just might be - but not because of the large diameter spool.
Oct 1. 1999	The South African Fly Fishing Handbook	Above average in pattern selection and book layout. Misleading title: it's more of a fly-tying handbook featuring flyfishing in South Africa.
Sep 20. 1999	Eyes from pearls	There are other ways than bead chain eyes to make eyes for a fly. Here are two ways: Copper thread and pearls and melted monofile.
Sep 12. 1999	Red Tag Palmer	An all time classic which here is tied for sea trout in ocean and stream.
Sep 11. 1999	Atrractor swap	Undoubtedly, when one thinks of attractor streamer and bucktail patterns, the venerable Mickey Finn comes to mind. More often than not, it's the very first pattern streamer aficionados are introduced to when learning to tie...and rightly so, as it remains a productive pattern in our streamer wallets.
Sep 5. 1999	Bullet Head Magnus	The Magnus is a pattern always present in my fly box. I've caught a lot of fish on it, it's simple to tie and surprisingly durable. It's normally tied with ball chain eyes, but after I found a good supplier of bullet shaped bead head, I tried tying some with bullet heads.
Sep 4. 1999	What fish see	This is a book, which I have looked forward to read with great anticipation.
Sep 1. 1999	Fly Fishers Guide to Saltwater Naturals and their Imitation	If you ever want to know the 'entomology' of the salt water prey species, this is a good place to look. You will become a very educated salt water fisherman if you read and understand these sections. This will fortunately not be so hard, because even though Roberts has a very scientific way of treating his subject, it's not hard to read and undterstand the book.
Aug 30. 1999	Kasper Mühlbach, Denmark	When I'm not working it is quite often because I have gone flyfishing, which I have been doing since my teens, more or less.
Aug 21. 1999	The Idiot	The Idiot - or 'Idioten' in Danish - is another typical Danish sea trout pattern. The story of this fly is quite well known and documented. A team of Danish fly fishers including Erik Døssing were fishing in Norway when one of the company stated that he had never caught a sea trout on fly in the stream Karup Aa - probably Denmark's most productive and famous sea trout stream.
Aug 19. 1999	Selecting hooks for saltwater	Fly hooks for Scandinavian salt water fishing There are several considerations to make when choosing fly hooks for salt water fishing for sea trout.
Aug 15. 1999	The road to Lake O.	A Welshman's story about the little known Dutch steelhead fishing in Lake Oostvoorne. By Paul Slaney.
Aug 11. 1999	Night trip	The first fish I caught on the Morrisfoam Diver was a small sea trout which I took on a nightly outing with Maj-Britt and Henning
Aug 9. 1999	The Femmer Crab	This fly is the latest development in my experiments with the melt glue I have used with some success for cod. This version is much smaller than the original and uses a simpler and better method for building the body. This not only makes the fly faster to make, but also much easier to cast.
Aug 2. 1999	The Cone Head Tube Fly	A brand new way of tying tube flies. The usual way of weighting a tube fly is by using copper or aluminum tubes. This article shows a totally different approach

Jun 10. 1999	Fish in cream sauce	A nice course for lean fish. Served with rice.
