IBRA Bamboo Journal N 17 now online

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Hello to everyone,

We are please to inform you that issue N. 17 of the IBRA Bamboo Journal is now online. You can read it online or download the English version from:

http://www.rodmakers.eu/BJ17ENG/files/bj17eng.pdf

or

http://www.rodmakers.eu/BJ17ENG/index.html

I think this issue is particularly interesting. There are some great photo and historal facts about a number of historical American rods and the maker. The rods were on exhibit at the IBRA gathering in May. Perhaps one of the largest exhibitions in Europe under one roof of Classic Bamboo rods.

We look forward to your comments and above all to your interesting contributions for the upcoming issues. If you do have something to publish, please contact us. You will find our contact details on our website.

Happy reading!!

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.
