A Backyard in Nowhere
After having seen this DVD, I'm reminded in many ways about my feelings after having seen the first of AEG's videos, Trout Bum Diaries.
Heads or Tails
Permit in Australia must be the new thing in fly fishing, judging from this DVD and a host online videos popping up during the last few years.
A new look
GFF has been looking the same for almost a decade, and even though we haven't changed anything radical, there are changes in appearance.

The bag trick
It's a very simple trick, which will make your life a lot easier. Put your feet in plastic bags before you stuff them into the waders. Simple as that!

Fly-fishing the 41st
This book is one of the best fly-fishing books I have read in a long time. One of the best books, period.
In Iceland, not fishing... almost
I'm not here to fish, but my good friend Nils who lives here, managed to get me out for a day on the stream Varmá (yes, it does mean the warm stream), where I managed to cast a bit for some late seas...
The Blitz
After this book was in my hands I found it very hard to put down, and for a while it sucked my attention away from the party and guests
Pretty in pink
We only had a few takes and caught nothing - but we had a wonderful sunrise, saw a seal and three porpoises hunting close to the beach. The best way to get away from stress and daily routine and do nothing else than relax. What a morning!

Stepping into the Stream
A video about women fly fishing, and not just about fly fishing, but also about connecting with nature and themselves.
The shoulder thing
There was a time where you stuck the rod under an arm when showing a fish. Maybe even just laid it on the ground or on the bank. Then people started putting the rod in the mouth. The latest craze seem...

Grantham's Sedge
Grantham Sedge was originally designed by Ron Grantham in 1993. It is a unique solution to creating a fly which produces a substantial wake without having to be bulky or riffle hitched. Ron Grantham writes "When used with a floating fly line this unsinkable fly will stay on the surface as long as it is moving

Used books and DVDs
I have always been a very willing buyer of used stuff, and buying used books and DVDs makes very good sense
Fly Fishing the World
I bought this set of DVD's inspired by Henry Winkler, who mentions it in his book "I've never met an idiot on the river" (which I bought inspired by Steve Schweitzer's review on this very site).
