Epoxy Miracle
A wish for a generic bait imitation was what made Kasper Mühlbach develop a fly, which he originally dubbed the Epoxy Triumph; A small epoxied baitfish imitation along the lines of the American tradition. This fly was since modified a bit, and is now the Epoxy Miracle.

Bright future
If you thought that maintaining a site like GFF was just about tying flies, going fishing, taking pictures and writing about it, you'd better think again.

Beautiful day
Went fishing, caught nothing, enjoyed it immensely!
Branchu
Branchu is the Québecois word for wood duck, and a very suitable name for this fly with its characteristic wood duck wing. It's originated by Jean Guy Côte of Uni-Products, but has been slightly modified by GFF partner Martin Joergensen for his fishing.
See the pattern description here

Partridge has come out with a new line of trout hooks called "Flashpoint". Most fly tyers are hook junkies, and Bob Petti is no exception, so he jumped at the chance to review these new hooks.

But 2005 is well on its way to prove me wrong. Even though we have had some horrid w...
Flip Pallot's Memories, Mangroves & Magic
During a recent stay in London, I (of course) had to visit Farlow's in Pall Mall - a large and very well assorted outdoors, hunting and fishing shop.
Fall trout
Here in Denmark we still strive through gale force winds and there is no chance of getting out to fish. The weather report at least a week ahead says rough western wind and rain on and off.
The win...
New Year Trout
Well - this was a first. I've never caught a trout in January before. It was colder than the low 40's the forecast called for, especially with the gusty winds and the bone chilling water, but who am I...
