Farlows Salmon Flies
This book is pretty exotic and definitely not for the average fly tyer. But if you are interested in classic salmon flies and their history, it's a book you must have on your shelves.
Oh, books!
As many readers know, reading books is one of my passions in fly fishing, and the titles on my table right now perfectly illustrate why
Chris Helm's thread articles
These three articles on tying thread were written by renowned fly tyer and deer hair equillibrist Chris Helm.
Read more here.
Fly Tying Thread Options
Most fly tiers depend on their local fly shop for the thread, as well as other essential materials, to tie flies.
Read the article here
New Age Tying Thread
GSP or Gel Spun Polyethylene fly tying thread was fairly unknown when Chris Helm wrote this article. His observations still stand.
Read the article here
Using Denier to Standardize Fly Tying Thread
It makes sense to have a standardization, which would eliminate much of the confusion that surrounds fly tying thread today.
Read the article here
Fleye Design
Bob Popovics can rightfully be called one of the most innovative fly tyers today. And he keeps on sharing new methods in his latest book.
Fulton's condition factor calculator
A simple tool to calculate trout condition (K-factor), length or weight from the two other numbers.
Do your calculations here
Tup's Indispensable
Tup's Indispensable is a fly originated by R.S. Austin in 1890, utilizing a quite exotic material as dubbing.

Festival and fish
This is a short story about a trip to Denmark combining the Danish Fly Festival and fishing for seatrout on the island of Fyn.
Read it here.
After the Festival
The Danish Festival is over and I'm slowly getting used to talking to people who don't talk about fly tying and fly fishing. It's not easy!
Off to the Fly Festival 2017
Tomorrow I will leave for a couple of days of fly tying, being with good friends and maybe spending a little money on fly tying
The fish of a lifetime
Just a week ago my good friend Jens caught what can rightfully be called the fish of a lifetime. Here's the story - and the fly that did it.
And some thoughts on large fish.
Let’s support Davie McPhail
Scottish fly tyer Davie McPhail posted something on Facebook that I think deserves a bit of attention.
DIY material spring
A material spring is a nifty little addition to your vise, enabling you to hold long materials like ribbing or hackles out of the way while tying in other materials.
See how to make one here.
Pimp your vise
There's so much extra paraphernalia that you can attach to your vise that you can totally block the access to the hook if you use it all.
Read about it here.
No fast forward!
I now officially hate - like in deplore, detest, despise, loathe - fly tying videos with fast forward sequences.
A book list for Jes
This is a list of a few great books that are about fishing, but focuses on ambiance, adventure, philosophy, emotions, friendships - basically everything but catching that big one.
See the list here
GFF on Pinterest
Pinterest is an image sharing service, where people can add pictures, which the user "pin" to various boards to create pages of images about a certain subject. GFF has been on there for many years, an...

DIY material clips
I have used my fingers and metal bulldog clips plus varying degrees of dexterity for hair hackle loops. I decided to try to make my own material clips for the purpose.
See how to make your own here
Haynes Fly Fishing Manual
The publisher Haynes is probably best known for their car repair manuals, but also has instruction manuals for many other things, fly fishing included
Jari's Tube Baitfish
This simple hollow tied baitfish will be great for a lot of different species, in saltwater as well as in freshwater.
See how to tie it here
The Danish Fly Festival 2017
If you reside in Denmark, northern Germany or southern Sweden, this is an event you should mark in your calendar
