About GFF

Blogs are very common these days, and we have one too. But ours started back when blogs were an almost unknown concept - in 1996!

The Global FlyFisher is a web site for fly fishers and fly tyers - and to some extend for outdoors people in general. The site has a very long history, dating back to the beginning of the Internet era in 1994.

GFF has been looking the same for almost a decade, and even though we haven't changed anything radical, there are changes in appearance.

We have passed yet another New Year's evening, and can now write 2011. So how was 2010 for GFF? We celebrated our 16th birthday in 2010. We served 12 million pages to 850,000 people. We published 66 articles. We added more than 500 videos. Still we think we're lagging a bit.

Here at GFF we don't hesitate to celebrate any occasion, which marks a milestone in the the history of this site and its progress. And here's another such milestone: this very article is actually entry number 1000 in our list of entries in the sitemap. A really sharp corner.

The Global FlyFisher can now be found on Twitter.

A short intro the the concept of the Global FlyFisher and the people behind the site.

We did it! We exchanged our trusty old and lagging forum with a new and better one. Now, the forum isn't the busiest place on GFF, but this new software might do the trick and lure a few more people to share the fishing secrets with the rest of us.

The Global FlyFisher started as a stroke of luck, a flap of a butterfly's wing, a mere coincidence - more than 10 years ago. This is the previously untold story of one of the world's largest and most popular fly fishing web sites: your very own, the Global FlyFisher.

We don't do reciprocal SEO links. This is not meant to deliver a snobbish attitude towards fellow publishers who are as proud of their work as we are. We just prefer providing good, original content rather than linking back and forth.

This site consists entirely of copyrighted work and is published for personal use and enjoyment. From time-to-time we notice work from this site used in unauthorized manners.

The Global FlyFisher is fully non-commercial and does not sell or exchange advertising space.

One of the most popular parts of our site is the Reviews section. A good mixture of product and literature reviews are a heathly addition to a global site such as ours.
