Thunder Creek Flies
I have loved Kieth Fulsher's Thunder Creek streamers ever since I saw a Danish tyer tie one decades ago, so a whole book with Thunder Creeks by Fulsher himself. What can go wrong?
Facts about GFF
The Global FlyFisher is a web site for fly fishers and fly tyers - and to some extend for outdoors people in general. The site has a very long history, dating back to the beginning of the Internet era in 1994.

Rolled Trout
One of my favorite dishes with trout is to make these trout rolls. Trout is both tasty and healthy - although I'm afraid I will spoil the latter a bit with this recipe. But who can resist fish, lemon, parsley and mustard?
See the recipe here
Patagonian Silver
HKA Sunray/Bismo
This fly is without doubt one of the best catching flies on the bigger rivers in Iceland! It was originated by Danish Henrik Kassow Andersen. Salmon guide Nils Folmer Jørgensen from Iceland shows you how to tie it.
See step by step pictures here.

The Fish & The Fly 1
I've just started watching the third DVD in the series as I write this introduction to the review, and I can only say to those many who want to get into doing fly fishing videos: watch and learn.

Jim Warner Swap
Jim Warner has been one of the most influential fly tyers in New England, especially for those who spend their time trolling and fishing streamers in the many lakes and ponds of the region. The gang of the streamers@ list recently had a swap of his great fly patterns.

Carrie Challenge II
Back in 2002 a bunch of guys on the streamers@ mailing list decided to tie some flies "in the hand" without the benefit of a vise. This year a new crop took up the challenge with a different fly - Carrie's Favorite - and tackled the Look Ma, No Vise challange.

Essential Saltwater Flies
This book is some years old and can be bought used for about 10 US dollars, which makes it a very good deal, because this is an excellent book.

Fifty more places to fly fish before you die
I have never been really fond of Chris Santella's book "Fifty places to Fly Fish Before You Die", which I bought several years ago.
New (old) books
OK, it happened again: my trigger finger slipped and several Amazon vendors as well as my all time favorite bookshop, Coch-y-Bonddu in Wales, were allowed to stick their trunks into my wallet and suck...
AD Maddox
"She's a Ducati riding, Wyoming roaming, fly fishing girl born in Tennessee... " This is how fly fishing artist AD Maddox is introduced on her web site, and an introduction that has exactly the effect that I suppose was intended: I gotta know more about her!

Stepping into the Stream Q&A
We had the chance to ask Barbara Klutinis - the woman behing the video "Stepping into the Stream" a few questions regarding her film about fly fishing women.
Read our interview with Barbara Klutinis here.
A Backyard in Nowhere Q&A
The DVD "A Backyard in Nowhere" is something else. Fly fishing, sure, but also a different experience traveling, fishing, hunting and meeting people by the Innoko River system in Alaska. The team behind the video is Danish, and it was quite natural to grab a hold of them and get them to talk a bit about the background for the whole project.
