A bit about myself.

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. Normally I fish in Denmark chasing the seatrout from the shore and the trout in a smaller streams in the northern Jutland. But since Sweden is so close to where I live, I spend at least two weeks in that country every year, where the Grayling and the Leuciscus cephalus (look forward to another article on GFF!) are my quarries.
I have been fishing all over New Zealand from Auckland to Stewart Island for about 5 months - except the most northern part of the North Island.
Even though most of my fishing results in contact with garfish, cod and seatrout (from time to time), the fishing I enjoy most is light dryflying for smaller grayling and beautiful brown trout - and the most important: good company and no noise! Anyway, the year 2000 will be the year where I catch a pike, a chub and a mullet on the fly, like I have tried to for the last three years...

Tight lines.

John,

Spiderweb is manufactured by Danvilles. I think it is a 18/0 - fairly fine.

Hi Kasper, For ...

Hi Kasper,

For tying the "Nothing" You specified spiderweb for the thread. Do you know who makes this product? I can't find it. What I did find was SpiderWire. SpiderWire has many different types; mono, braided, saltwater, freshwater etc., and it is moss green in color. If this is what you specified can you tell me what type of Spiderwire you used.

Thanks I enjoyed the article!

Fly style Flatwings - "the new black" in Denmark and Sweden. Are they really that good. Not too big for casting? For the trout? Will they twist? Are they better than other sand eel imitations? Are they better suited for pike? Kill your skepticism and take a

DIY Five pairs of mono eyes dipped in epoxy for just around 5,50€ or 7$. It sounds like a good business opportunity, but as a consumer it just pushes you to make your eyes your self. On a trip to Fyn this spring two Danes and an American-wanna-be-German made their own.

A tentacled all-rounder You have probably heard about and maybe even watched The Pink Panther. If so, you also know the soundtrack. Put that on and take a look to see what a Pink Pig is, and if it has anything in common with the panther or if there is more Miss Piggy in this fly tied for tarpon, bonefish and trout.

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.
