GFF Newsletter: Floating Foam Caddis | Euro BWOs | GFF Interview | Durable flies

These are strange times, a lot of the world locked down, quarantined and standing still. Many you are hard hit either by the disease or by the measures having been taken by governments, organisations and businesses all around, and know that you all have my deepest sympathy. I personally haven't been hit on my health or on my daily work. I have actually been busier than ever, and have been helping clients adapt to this new and very digitized world. So I'm not complaining.

But my work schedule has meant less time to devote to the site. It's been updated, and quite a few new articles have been published as well as the never ending stream of videos. But I haven't had much time to develop new content, tie flies, take pictures - or even fix some of the small errors that pop up now and then on a large and complex site such as the Global FlyFisher.

The newsletter system itself is one of the issues that I need to look into. It's been lagging for a while, and I have had to jump through hoops to get it to send off mails properly. Sending thousands of mails isn't trivial, unfortunately. The newsletter has close to 15,000 subscribers, and I'd like you all to get your copy, and to get this into a routine, where I can send out regular (although not frequent) mails without having to fear for being shut out by the mailing host every time.

Well, never the less, here's some inspiration and a few things to jump into and entertain yourself. Should you have comments or ideas, feel free to mail me at martin@globalflyfisher.com

Stay safe, stay healthy.

Articles Einars' Floating Foam Caddis Pupa A great and high floating caddis fly made with foam as a base material and a very simple and cool technique.   Euro BWOs Revisited In our continuous effort to obtain better and more practical mayfly imitations, we discovered a few new and simple solutions.   The GFF Interview GFF gets too little press coverage, so I interviewed myself, and asked myself a number of intelligent questions and offered some equally brilliant answers.   Durable flies: Wrapping thread The basic technique of wrapping thread over - and under - materials is a key to getting flies that will hold well		Videos Cone Crab   Braided Blue Damsel   Ponoi Green/Blue   Blog About getting skunked A part of fishing is not catching anything. If you're only in it for the catching, there's something you have misunderstood.   Does anyone proofread this crap? Yes, a non-native English speaker proofreads material from a host of mostly non-English amateur writers, and sometimes errors do slip through
