Martin,

Good Gawd man! Have you gone completely nuts? Where is the minimalist Martin? You know THE one who had a website before Globalflyfisher and it was in beautiful black & white web site? ...quite elegant, minimalist and SO NON-Conformist.

Sad to say I have left my "Acquisition" stage of fly fishing and am now scaling back to the few bare esentials in the highest quality I can find. You know, hand made stuff that you have to wait for. The young bucks probably never heard of my rod, frown upon my use of silk fly line and leaders, and Fye my chest fly box. They most likely feel sorry for that stodgy older guy on the river but HEY!

If they think they can out-gear me, bring it gents!! I got as closet full of stuff I collected over the past 40 years...yeah, you guys will recoginize the names (Sage, Winston, Abel, Hardy, Kusse (uh, who?), Ross, 444 Peach (uh, that old line??), Filson, Patagonia, Korkers, you get the picture).

I think what Martin is ACTUALLY trying to do with this article is make anyone who follows the article's advice look like "That Guy" on the stream. I ain't that guy.

Fun article for sure Martin!

Go to the videos on the website nextbite.com. These guys catch and release hundreds of pike with this method. As you can see no harm is done. The fish are off the hook in no time. Even with barbless treble hooks.

Why we flyfish/tye,huh now that's a question for the ages,I fly fish for all reasons,catch big fish,the wonder of nature,the color of the fish,the 1 on 1 challenge of the fish,& just to enjoy the outdoors,&what time we have on earth.

An absolutely outstanding looking fly Mr. Morales. A real EYE CANDY!!! It is very rare to see a better tied STRMR than this one is!!! I saw your works on rareandunusual.com and all of your ties had been fabulous and preciously tied. Are you a member of streamerlist?¨
If there is a tier who would like to learn tying streamers, then you will certainly be his(her) teacher. Petr Haisman

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.
