The last batch - for now - of tying thread arrived, and I'm about to throw myself at the mercy of my micrometer

I'm building up to the update of the already substantial table of tying threads

The tying thread table and the accompanying article is among the most popular pages on this site. It’s about time for an update.

The publishing pace is not frightening on the Global FlyFisher, but I’m working on cranking up the frequency ... bit by bit

Another great Danish Fly Festival is over, and it was as always great being part of this excellent show.

I’m a good bit into upgrading the Global FlyFisher to the latest version of the publishing system. Meanwhile the old site is gasping

It's time for another of these major updates of the tech behind the Global FlyFisher

I asked an Artificial Intelligence-system to talk about a GFF article about the Muddler Minnow, and the result is truly mind-blowing!

For basically all the almost 30 years of its existence, I have been following the traffic patterns on GFF. I stopped about a year ago, and here is why.

For a painfully long time in August 2023 the Global FlyFisher was dead and gone. Our DNS-provider stumbled and took all their clients with them in the fall.

The site is back and in operation, but the downtime has led to some unfortunate errors, which I’m trying to fix as you read this

A couple of HL Leonard leaders were added to LeaderCalc thanks to Swedish Johan Algén

GFF is running on Drupal 7, and Drupal 7 is terminal. It’s destined to die. And upgrading is not an easy task, not least because version 10 is already there.

During Corona it has become quite common to have social gatherings online - Skype, Zoom, Teams ... you name it. Communal fly tying can be done in the same way

Maintaining a site with close to 18,000 pictures, 11,000+ video links and close to 3,000 articles means having a lot of stuff to keep up-to-date

Some years back I had to fish with the oldest and worst fly rod I ever owned... and you know what? It wasn't bad at all.

Social media can be a strange experience. It's really a mixed bag. And on Instagram 40% of all anglers seem to be women!

I have build a small Drupal-module, which enables me to see how many recipients open my newsletters and click on links in it

There’s a bunch of modules to help importing content into Drupal. My experience is that they are inadequate, and don’t do what I need. I prefer DIY.

A part of fishing is not catching anything. If you're only in it for the catching, there's something you have misunderstood.

Yes, a non-native English speaker proofreads material from a host of mostly non-English amateur writers, and sometimes errors do slip through

Dave Stewart from the podcast "Wet Fly Swing" contacted me for participation in one of his podcasts, and it’s now online to enjoy.

The blocks of nicely laid out images on GFF has required quite a bit of work to refine.

Russian Ramil Yamaliev has upgraded his fly photo ringlight, and improved its performance significantly

A rather far fetched transcript of an internet meme* actually quite well covers my book situation right now.

GFF partner Bob Petti visited, and even though we didn’t fish or tie flies, we talked quite a bit about fishing… and he brought two books

A few things happened during the last couple months that made me think of, buy and read nice fishing books again.

Another Danish Fly Festival is over, and as always it was a great experience. Lots of people to meet, lots of things to see.

In a few days I'm leaving for the Danish Fly Festival, and there I will be tying in the tyers row, an activity that I love

In principle there's free and unlimited access to all coasts in Denmark. That's what the law says. But in many places reality is different.

A good friend offered me a macro flash he didn't use any more in exchange for a handful of flies

My books used to be ordered by black magic, essentially a system where I stuffed in new titles where there was space. Things have changed.

The biennial gathering of fly anglers, casters, tyers, vendors, artists, artisans and other good people will take place again in Denmark in early March 2019

Lazy loading is a performance improvement where images (and other assets) are loaded when needed, not when the page is loaded

Stacking up fishing books and never reading them… not here!

The publishing pace on GFF has almost come to a standstill. Real life has stuck its ugly head in the door and brought paid work

No, not strikes from fish, but strikes from spammers and wannabe guest posters who try to get their spam published on GFF. Three strikes and they get this.

It seems to me that a lot of software problems are solved by adding complexity. It's a bad solution. I hate it.

If you do, you might consider supporting it in a slightly more substantial way. It's been free for decades... literally... but could use a little saltwater injection. Now accepting PayPal...

I just returned from a week-long fishing trip with my wife and a bunch of good friends – and I didn’t make a single cast.

My fly tying room and office is slowly taking shape - and color. A set of shelves and small chests were painted green.

I was involuntarily involved in a disagreement between two authors and their publisher, and have now placed myself in a tight spot

The GFF video section uses a few neat cowboy tricks to smoothly integrate videos from YouTube and Vimeo into the site

We have moved from an apartment to a house, and GFF is getting a larger and better equipped main office.

Some books I just order, no hesitation. But when prices go above 200 US$ and postage follows close behind, my finger hesitates a bit over the buy button

No, don't worry! It's not that GFF is disappearing, but the number of visitors isn’t what it used to be.

Due to some odd circumstances, I ordered myself two copies of the same book.

Three new books on saltwater flies seem to be a perfect item for the Christmas wish list for any saltwater fly angler

I'm surprised how little web publishers cherish their old URLs. When I browse old links to the outside from our articles, I constantly meet 404-pages. I value GFF’s old web-addresses, and here's how I maintain them.

Facebook is a strange universe. A fantastic resource and at the same time a source of endless, useless noise.

Meeting up with a bunch of people and tying flies together doesn't just provide good company, but also education - and an easy shortcut to new fly names

It has been brought to my attention that my post about not postponing your fishing trips has caused a bit of friction in some relationships. I need to set a few things straight.

I have recently had a pretty decent injection of fly tying material to my stock. I call it the mothers’ yarns because it came from my own mother and my mother-in-law.

Google can pick up quite a lot of structured information from your site, and you can help by presenting it correctly

This is a film project that aims to highlight the value of some of Colombia 's main river systems, which have been hidden and protected for half a decade, and you have the opportunity to support the project.

Just the other day the Global FlyFisher crossed the 50,000 node nid mark in the database. GFF is a large site, but still far from any boundaries set by Drupal.

As many readers know, reading books is one of my passions in fly fishing, and the titles on my table right now perfectly illustrate why

The Danish Festival is over and I'm slowly getting used to talking to people who don't talk about fly tying and fly fishing. It's not easy!

Tomorrow I will leave for a couple of days of fly tying, being with good friends and maybe spending a little money on fly tying

Scottish fly tyer Davie McPhail posted something on Facebook that I think deserves a bit of attention.

I now officially hate - like in deplore, detest, despise, loathe - fly tying videos with fast forward sequences.

If you reside in Denmark, northern Germany or southern Sweden, this is an event you should mark in your calendar

If you want a really cool bobbin holder, carbon fiber and all, it's off to Kickstarter to support Ilias Fn Karanzas' Apex Predator Bobbin project!

I'm working on an article on tool holders and have been fooling around with a drawing program and a laser cutter

Yeah, I know it's winter in the northern hemisphere, but a friend's recent passing and an old picture got me to write this.

A site as GFF needs some level of caching in order to be able to deliver pages fast without bogging down the server or database

Why is it that fishing shows on TV have to be either drama, competition or exaggeration - or all three?

Here's a rundown of the different things I do to keep spammers from posting on the Global FlyFisher

There's a gazillion tyers who love the Regal style, angled spring clamp fly-tying vises, but I always wondered why they are so popular

A lot of sites feature a part of the page – typically a top menu – that is fixed to the top of the screen when you scroll down. Here are some thoughts about such a feature and how to do it.

This is the story about the adaptation of the old LeaderCalc spreadsheet to a Drupal module that drives a web based system

A couple of weeks ago my Facebook wall started overflowing with great fly photos. I think I should thank David Hise for that.

The Drupal theme that's used on the Global FlyFisher is home made from scratch. I deplore large and complex themes, and prefer simple and compact.

I reinstated the GFF Newsletter that we stopped sending a decade ago. This article is about the system driving the new newsletter.

This section tells a bit about the technology behind and development of the Global FlyFisher. Nothing at all about fishing or fly tying, but interesting to some.

Today was the day of the annual and traditional get-together arranged by the Copenhagen Fly Casting Club. Enjoyable as always.

It's amazing how some companies manage to totally ignore all attempts to contact them. Why do they have email, contact forms and Facebook pages, if they don't reply when people use them?

New hook brands isn't something we see ever so often, but just recently two Danish hook series have seen the light of day

It seems to me that success in fly fishing, fly tying, guiding, writing or filming as well as social media can be secured by simply being a young and reasonably good looking woman

Thirty-some fly tyers met in a restaurant in Denmark, ate some good food and tied flies together

I'm working on a revival of the Global FlyFisher Newsletter, which was sent out for a short period many years ago.

Every morning before I start working I go though a bunch of fishing and tying videos. Join me on such a video spree

I'm not planning on making paid tying videos, but have seen more and more of them online. My small survey says that it's not good business.

If I had enough money (and space) I would indulge in an extravagant fly reel fetish

Ever so often I get a mail asking if I would like to have guest posts on the Global FlyFisher. I have turned down every offer until now and here's why.

...almost. The new site is running smoothly and things have settled in. Traffic is stable and most pages are adapted to the new design.

We pride ourselves on many and good images. A lot of other people also like our images... some a little too much, actually!

The biennial fly show The Danish Fly Festival takes place this year in the weekend April 11th and 12th. I will be there. How about you?

Scientific reports about fish and environment might not seem to be the most exciting to us anglers, but the work done by scientists is extremely important in keeping and eye on and improving our fishing waters.

Sunshine, lots of fly rods, a large grass lawn, good company and sausages on the barbecue. What's not to like?

Buy a great video and support Project Healing Waters

Yesterday I went and saw a preview of the new videos on coastal sea trout fishing by Danish Niels Vestergaard, and they are pretty exiting to put it mildly

The Global FlyFisher has just gone through one of the largest changes ever, and the money is rolling in... sort of

We have used an image of earth shot from space in our logo for 20 years. The picture has a fascinating 40 year story

I was growing really tired of my old pontoon boat and decided on getting a kayak again. This time an inflatable one.

I did my usual trip through on Paul Morgan's Coch-y-Bonddu book site, and found more great offers than I usually do. I thought I'd share some of them with you.

I just saved more than 4,200 US$ on three used books. Now that's what I call a bargain!

I will be both teaching and tying with the GFF team at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum May 18th. Drop by if you're in the area.

The coming week I will be off fishing a bit. This year's first trip for me. My fishing sure isn`t what it used to be.

I have been writing about expensive books before, and still maintain a list of ridiculously priced books. Now I bought one of them - at a "normal" price.

Every second year a few thousand fly-fishers and fly-tyers from Denmark and Germany gather ind the southern part of Denmark for the biennial Fly Festival

I wanted to tie a Carrie Stevens, Rangerly style New England streamer, but was surprised how hard it actually was

The biennial Danish Fly Festival will take place the weekend March 23rd and 24th in Kolding in southern Denmark. Want to meet there?

So we went from 2012 to 2013, and GFF is still running smoothly with a good frequency of articles and videos and lots of readers and viewers

I attended the sneak preview of the video Only the River Knows, formerly known as The Trout Also Rises. Great video! I'm looking forward to reviewing the DVD.

Things have been different the last couple of years. September and October used to be some of my busiest fishing months. Not so any more...

I have no idea whether oarless is a word, but being on a week long fishing trip, depending on a pontoon boat and having no oars sucks!

I have presented the online magazines before on our blog, but the number of Flash/PDF-based online fishing magazines seems to be steadily growing (if not exploding!), and I wanted to return to this phenomenon.

I'm back in the saddle, vacation is over and GFF has been taking care of itself for a few weeks. Amazing how well it behaves... knock on wood!

I will be off fishing for the next week. GFF will trot on, but don't expect immediate reactions to comments and emails.

Inflation has hit our review scale, which has been needing an adjustment for a while. Say welcome to Xtra Global Class.

We have had to generally block any incoming traffic from China due to an excessive load from servers trying to hack their way into our system.

One of my all time favorite shops and definitely my favorite bookshop and its owner Paul Morgan were robbed this weekend.

Travis Swartz is making a video called "Fish On - Stories From A Reel Recovery Retreat" about men fly-fishing their way back to a normal life after cancer. You can help make it happen.

You can now enjoy Oliver Edwards' great videos, hang prints with his flies on the wall and even buy his patterns to fish with.

Bob Popovics isn't exactly known for his traditional way of doing things, and his new product just emphasizes this

If you like to fool around with colors on your beaded nymphs, the French company Bidoz has just expanded their selection of colored beads.

Flyvines turn old and worn out fly lines into something different: bracelets, lanyards and sunglass retainers

Thomas Vinge's Danish books on seatrout flies have been translated into German, and have just been published. I cannot recommend them enough!

The world's best fly-fishing films are coming to Denmark. I missed it last year. That's not going to happen this year!

Now this is a pretty interesting product! Looks good, adds weight and seems to be easy to tie with.

This is the story about how much we and our readers do to make us able to review books for you.

I buy a lot of used books and save a lot of money. But while most used books are really inexpensive, a few are ridiculously expensive!

I just finished a new self-published book "Favorite flies for Baltic Seatrout" and ordered my own first two copies.

Here at the Global FlyFisher we get offers to buy flies all the time. 95% come from Nairobi in Kenya.

How a hunt for a salmon DVD led me around the world and then some in 8 minutes...

My bookshelves are already filling up as it is, but I still have a very hard time with the online bookstores. I simply can't help it.

An approach from a business that wanted to buy The Global FlyFisher made me wonder: what's a site like this worth? And don't worry... we didn't sell!

Another bunch of books snuck their way into my life

I'm currently traveling in Iceland with my family and thought I'd share a few pics with you.

Where to put your rod when handling fish? On your shoulders behind your neck, of course!

I have always been a very willing buyer of used stuff, and buying used books and DVDs makes very good sense

Well it's obviously that time of the year - or whatever time it is - because we are moving the site to a new server.

Regular visitors on GFF will have noticed an absence of the site the latest 24 hours or so... here's why.

New articles, new front page, new facilities. GFF's heart is beating steadily.

Flies for fishing deep. Not my ususal kind of flies, but sometimes you need weight.

Style is everything! The guys over at Jazz and Fly Fishing have obviously read my latest articles.

This past weekend was the time for the Danish Fly Festival, which takes place every second year.

The festival was a bit marred by the bad weather, but a great experience anyway.

The Rise fly fishing film festival will have shows in several European towns featuring the best videos

A set of very good Danish DVD's have been translated into English.

Sailing, we are saaailing....! I just bought a cool pontoon boat.

Epoxy isn't what it used to be.

Some things make no sense, but we do them anyway - like driving 3 hours out and 3 hours home to go shopping.

Innocent fly anglers can also be lured into spending money on odd and probably worthless causes and products.

Carp fishing with a fly has been suggested to me several times, but I never tried it.

And I mean really, really different. Really!

But we're out of the coma now!

Well, BC is over and we've been home for a while now. And what a trip!

If this permit video trailer turns into a DVD, I'm on the preorder list!

Less than a month to the trip, and things are completely chaos!

If you're a shooting head fisher, GFF might need your help

The planning for this year's Summit is slowly commencing. This is the first official announcement.

Well, it's a dirty job, you know, but some one has to do all that traveling.

I managed to squeeze in some real fishing in Florida thanks to GFF contributor Martin Bowers

It's not a fishing vacation, but there are rods in the luggage!

It might be Swedish, but this trailer shows some extraordinarily beautiful fishing scenes.

Officially spring has started. So of course it started snowing!

Sorry for the politically very incorrect heading, but bloody weather is just what we have right now and have had for a month or two

I managed to squeeze in one more trip before 2008

I have a heavy inflamation of cabin fever now -- and winter hasn't even really started yet

Steelheading weather

The guys behind the fabulous Trout Bum Diaries DVD's are on the move again. This time in Mongolia!

Several people have asked me about pictures from the GFF Summit in September. They're coming, they're coming...!

We are (once again) moving server. This time to save money on traffic. Wanna help test the new server?

Sometimes you make some silly decisions while fishing. We did that yesterday.

I attended a nice little fishing show yesterday

In a couple of hours we will be on the road

It's not often that new fly tying magazines see the light of day. Hatches is such a new magazine.

Some fly shops just do better online than others. This one excels.

Tons of fun

Foam Toads are flies just as I like them!

You may see irregularities on GFF. We're upgrading.

The summer in Denmark has been a catastrophe. Fishing is out, fly tying is in.

There are many more Russian language web pages on fly fishing than you might imagine. And some seem really good.

Way Cool

Well - close enough

We've had an extremely warm June and July and an extremely wet August. Now it's turning autumn

We haven't reached the heights of the US, but still...

Hotter .... Hottest

This year is mullet year. I intend to catch one...

Really bad

It was not a million trout, but 15,000

We have used the same forum system for a long time

I don't change my habits easily, but this shooting line may be something I will start using

No, it's not an error. It's supposed to say instruction instruction. I want someone to instruct casting instructors

A sad announcement indeed

It seems to be the story of this site...

Scores of unknown sites top charts

Why are we using a rod?
