Simply the Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Sep 8. 2023

For a painfully long time in between August 18th 2023 and September 7th the Global FlyFisher has been dead and gone. The site has been there all the time, but the way to find it though the domain name globalflyfisher.com has been blocked because one of the hosting companies that I use, was hacked and lost all their data - among this the keys to globalflyfisher.com! It took some time to regain access to the domain, but now that site is back almost as good as before, and within a few days, hopefully as good as ever. I can now turn to publishing again, and with the tying season coming up here, expect a few fly patterns in the coming time. Martin Main content Inspiration and Imitation The story about how the Toothpick Stone Clinger was inspired by turning over rocks and taking pictures   A couple of leaders from Sweden A couple of HL Leonard leaders were added to LeaderCalc thanks to Swedish Johan Algen   Highlighter Caddis The name of this fly is to be taken ad verbatim. You do need a highlighter pen to tie it   When AI invents flies We challenged artificial intelligence to create a fly pattern. It went fairly well ... and then again ... not quite well.   Hitched Hoglouse The hoglouse is also known as a sowbug or a cress bug, and is a very common freshwater crustacean. Here's an easy imitation using an interesting tying technique.   The Prefab Shrimp My shrimp patterns have always been pretty impressionistic. That was until I saw a video using some pre-made legs... then I dug into my stash, and a fairly realistic shrimp emerged   Back to Basics Sometimes simple is best. Simple and scruffy in fact. Nick Thomas shows you how to tie a both simple and scruffy fly.   Salmon fishing in Iceland, where to start Iceland with its fascinating extremes and great runs of salmon is a dream destination for many anglers. Here's where to start.   A year's fishing in Argentina Argentinian Pedro Miles tells the story of his fishing in Argentina during the year 2022, and man, there's been some fishing going on!     Blog GFF is still alive! The site is back and in operation, but the downtime has led to some unfortunate errors, which I'm trying to fix as you read this   Virtual fly tying During Corona it has become quite common to have social gatherings online - Skype, Zoom, Teams... you name it. Communal fly tying can be done in the same way   A lousy old fly rod Some years back I had to fish with the oldest and worst fly rod I ever owned... and you know what? It wasn't bad at all.   Videos CDC Waterhen Bloa   Golden Goby 3.0   SloMo Shrimp Salmon   DDH Leech   Under the surface   Squirmy Wormy Jig   Zebra Midge   The Global FlyFisher Simply the Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Editor Martin Joergensen Feel free to contact me regarding this newsletter.
