DIY Epoxy Rotor
If you tie a lot of epoxy flies and have been glancing in the direction of the nice but expensive epoxy rotors in the local flyshop, you may want to consider building your own out of some scraps and a disco mirror ball motor.
Read the complete instructions and see the step-by-step photos here.
In awe
I just picked up Fly Fishing Mexico by Daniel Beilinson and Juan Pablo Reynal in the post office. That is some book!
AquaFly flybox
Imagine an iMac of the first generation as a flybox: cool and soft shape, great color and translucent. That's what the AquaFly flyboxes are. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has been using one lately.
Read his review of this roomy and practical flybox here
Winter coast
This little article is a photo essay rather than one of many words. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has done picture based stories like this one before, just putting up a bunch of good fishing shots and adding a little text.
See the beautiful pictures from the cold months here.
Jacket Blues
GFF partner Martin Joergensen has owned quite a few wading jackets, and none of them have fit his bill for the perfect jacket for his type of fishing. In this article he sings the Wading Jacket Blues and tries to describe the perfect jacket.
Read the lyrics to Martin's ode here.
