Modern fly fishing
The Swedish video producer Mountain Media has been doing fishing videos for (almost) as long as I can remember... for a long time at least.
Robin Armstrong
Robin Armstrong is a British painter based in Devon in the UK, whose lifelike watercolors have been featured in magazine articles as well as in books by himself as well as other authors.
See the images and read the interview.
Easy Fishing Florida Keys
Seven family members from various cities across the U.S. got together for a vacation this spring in Key Largo, Florida. The author is the only avid angler of the bunch and alerted the others that he wanted to get some fishing in while we were there, and they were welcome to fish along.
Read the story here.
The Killer Shrimp
The Killer Shrimp hardly looks like anything. It's gray and translucent, sparsely dressed and inconspicuous. But it catches fish. It's a great fly for those bright and calm days where sea trout seem to be unwilling to take any fly.
See how to tie it here.
The Bloody Zonker
This fly is a bright and tasty looking bite of feathers and fur that can sometimes be the key to luring a big trout. It's a variation of a variation of the Bloody Butcher.
Lots of tying steps and tips here
Ken's Cuteling
A small, soft baitfish imitation that will do a very good job standing in for a sculpin, but can be adapted to look like almost any small fish. Learn to tie it here using easily available materials -
and a Velcro stick.

Cast Alaska
This DVD has definitely stimulated my urge to go fishing in Alaska sometime in my life. Some fly anglers are crazy, and some are normal. Most fall somewhere in between.
The Essential Kelson
If you are into classical salmon flies, great writing and excellent fly photography you are looking at a very good reason to set yourself back £35.- or about $57.- US.
My book obsession
Martin has always been very fond of books, and fly fishing books have almost become an obsession with him. In spite of having a pretty good stock of titles already, he still buys a bag full now and then.
