Une Création
We crank out some strange flies every now and then. Get an idea, dig through piles of materials and tie up a handful of slightly different flies, each one better than the previous one, but none of them really good. But sometimes one comes out OK.
Such a fly is Martin Joergensen's Création.
Fish Fights: A Hall of Fame Quest
This is a first! I have read many books, which I had a hard time putting down once I started, but never a fishing book. Not until this one at least.
Merry Christmas
The Global FlyFisher staff wishes everybody a very merry Christmas - and a happy New Year if we don't see you before then. A Christmas Fly saw its way into Martin's fill-the-box-project. A slightly more colorful variation of his usual drab and dull flies.
See a bit more about it here.
The Trout and the Fly
At first glance this 2005 edition of a 25 years old book does not seem very impressive. When I leafed quickly through the book as I always do with new books, I was struck by the B/W photos and the lay...
Merlin's Daily Fishing Calendar 2006
Do you need a last minute Christmas gift idea for an angler? Well, Merlin's Daily Fishing Calendar could be a very good suggestion for such a gift.
Clouser hook
Got a response from Joe Cornwall, with a great tip for getting those Clousers uniform.
Martin
Welcome to the world of the Clouser minnow - one of my most productive flies. I thought I'd pass alo...
Classic Clouser
The Clouser Minnow is one of the fly patterns that I have seen in most fly boxes ever. It is used for bass, stripers, pike, tropical salt water fish, large trout plus a horde of other species.
Yet...
Lamiglas
This past season, I had the pleasure of fishing rods built from two blanks from Lamiglas, the XMG50 and the "Blue Ridge". These two blanks are Ying and Yang, fast and slow, high modulus graphite and fiberglass. As different as can be.

Sören and Sara
Senior pike fisher Sören Essebo invited junior pike fisher Kasper Mühlbach for a day of... pike fishing at the South Swedish coast. Besides fishing they talked about Sörens web site, publishing on the internet and why he has fallen in love with White Pike Sara.
Join the two for a day here.
EZ quintet
EZ flies - that's what they are in the genuine all-American-marketing-way. Five classics with their patterns modified to be fairly easy and fast to tie - not least because of the simple body construction using braided tubing.
See Bas Verschoor's article on the classics made easy
Amazing flies
I just got a tip on a site, which contains the results of the Irish Open Flytying Championship 2004 and rules and entry forms for this year's championship.
Take a look at those winning flies from 2...
Fly Fishing Warm Water Rivers
Before we get to the review, I have to confess that I am a bit biased, as I've known Joe for a few years through his involvement in a fly tying email group of which we're both members.
Fill-the-box
"I have severely neglected my day-to-day flybox for more than a year" writes GFF partner Martin Joergensen. Now he sets out to fill a box with hundreds of sea trout flies in preparation for the coming spring. He envisions rows of uniform and neatly arranged flies.
Follow his winter odessey here.
The Hatch
My good freind (and GFF contributor) Kasper pointed my attention to The Hatch and Felt Soul Media.
The Hatch is a video feature on the salmon fly hatch on The Gunninson in Colorado. On their web si...
Fishing Limestone Streams
Charles Meck is no stranger to fly fisherman, at least those in the mid-Atlantic states, as he's been writing books and articles about fly fishing since the 1960's.
Fly Fishing for Bass
There are a few things you can count on when you read a book by Lefty Kreh - good storytelling, just-the-facts brevity, a conversation tone to the writing, and lots of practical no-nonsense advice.
The Year of the Angler and the Year of the Trout
When I got this book to review, I was just about to leave for a week's vacation in Maine. The first time I opened it up was on Ogunquit Beach, with my feet snuggled in the sand, the sun beating down, ...
Bassin with a Fly Rod
When I first read "Bassin' with a Fly Rod", I knew that I had found a book to my liking when I read this passage:
Bass gizmos
I have always been awestruck by bass tournaments! I have only see brief cuts from tv shows showing anglers holding up a couple of large bass in the fish' lips, but these clips have given me an impress...
Vltava-Dobrá
Kasper Mühlbach - GFF's eternal grayling hunter - takes on another challenge from the Lady of the Stream. This time he travels to the Czech Republic to learn from former Czech National Fly Fishing Team member Jan Siman. Does the Eastern European grayling differ from the Swedish one?
Join the two on their trip here.
Nerd stuff
Global Flyfisher is a playground in more than one way.
On one hand it's a place where we partners and a lot of contributors can get all our fly fishing anf fly tying stuff out on the web. It's a ch...
Great mullet video
I meet with a bunch of friends once a week to share flies and lies - and drink coffee and eat Danish.
This evening we watched a few DVDs. Some of them were really not good. The DVD player had a 32x...

Essential Patterns with Oliver Edwards
With the release of "Essential Patterns", Oliver Edwards and his production crew have raised the bar yet again for fly tying instructional video.
Smallmouth Jump
Mark Dysinger has been chasing smallmouth bass with the flyrod for many years, and during that time he's come across some surprisingly difficult fish. Super clear water and high fishing pressure can make these bass as fussy and easily spooked as any educated trout.
This may be the method and patterns that saves the day
Don't freeze
GFF partner and avid winter fisher Martin Joergensen tries to convince you why breathable waders are good for winter fishing and why you may freeze in your trusty neoprenes. It has to do with sweat and moisture... or the lack of same.
Read here and get ready for some comfortable winter fishing.
