If you're a regular here on the Global FlyFisher you will have noticed that the stream of new articles has been quite steady for a while. And judging from our ...
Vatnsdalsá
The Icelandic salmon river Vatnsdalsá river is famous for its large fish. Many anglers get a big surprise when they see the monsters showing themselves in this rather small river. But it is more than that. This was the first full catch & release river in Iceland and is a role model for other rivers.

The Christmas Tree
This fly is primitive close to being embarrassing. It's even ugly. It uses one material only and a crude and synthetic one at that. But... and there's a but... GFF partner Martin Joergensen has to admit that it's an efficient fly. It catches a lot of fish.

The Clouserish
Very inspired by the Clouser style as well as the Thunder Creek, but not tied quite as any of the originals. The Clouser-ish will still go in the Clouser Deep Minnow category, and as all these flies it's an excellent and easy-to-tie fly.
See how to go about it here.
Clouser Deep Minnow
Only a few patterns are as generally useful and widespread as the Clouser Deep Minnow. Only a few patterns have their own entry in Wikipedia, but the Clouser Deep Minnow is up there with the Woolly Bugger, the Muddler Minnow, Grey Ghost, Royal Coachman, Diawl Bach and a few others.

More Hook Updates!
I had a chance today to add a few more hooks to the reference section. Mustad 36685 Mustad 36717 Mustad 36808 Willis 10xl Unknown CS15 Imitation hook...
Minni
Medium sized spring fed stream, crystal clear water and brown trout reaching the 20 lbs./10 kilo mark. Where do you find this? Just over one hour's drive from Reykjavik in Iceland in the Minnivallalaekur river.

Deep sea flies
I usually use ordinary flies tied on hooks. Not too heavy, but ever so often with a bit of weight on to get them down. Eyes, wire, copper or whatever suits the pattern.
But a couple of fishing frie...
Sea Trout Secrets 1-4
If you have been a regular on GFF for any time during its long existence, you will know that my everyday fishing is chasing sea run brown trout - we call them sea trout.
River Academy
I have chosen to review these three DVD's in one review, mostly because they are part of a series and very consistent in concept and production.
Korrie Broos
He started fishing, from when he can just about start to remember, and living in Africa, gives him opportunities, to fish for "exotic species" unique to this continent.

Trout with bacon
This is not your ordinary fly fishing article, but anyways... we have brought you recipes before, but this one is more in the GFF style with lots of step-by-step pictures. From fishing location to your table.
Find it all here.
