Copies!
I recently moaned about a copy of an article from The Global FlyFisher, and actually managed to get the webmaster to remove the copy from his web site.
Well, I'm on it again!
This time with an o...
Trout Grass
This is a fantastic journey! And in more than one sense. It's both a journey from east to west - from China to the US - and at the same time a journey in materials and workmanship from a perennial gra...
Bonefish biology
This small treatise will introduce you to the parts of its natural history, which are most interesting to fly anglers. Learn about the bonefish habitats, their diet and what other things might help you get a better picture of the ghost of the flats.
Get wiser by reading the article
Boney Flies
Crazy Charlie, Bonefish Bitters, Bonefish CDC&Elk and more. Some of these bonefish flies are well known, some are close to unknown, but they can all catch bonefish. Martin Joergensen has selected a few and tells the story.
See his list and the pattern descriptions here
Do's and dont's
GFF partner Martin Joergensen offers a few pieces of advice that might bring you nearer the bonefishing Nirvana. You will find traditional advice like "wear sunscreen" and "learn to cast", but also some less ordinary points such as "Don't listen to the guide".

Fireplace bonefishing
Global FlyFisher partner Martin Joergensen has gone through his shelves and dug out the best books and DVD's on bonefishing he could find.
See his list of books and DVD's here
Life is good
Now, this is something! Norwegian Christian Figenschou and his friends Dariusz and Julem's fabulous pictures of bonefishing and their attitude towards fishing fit perfectly into the GFF bonefishing theme.
See their stunning pictures here
The ghost and I
This is a very personal view of bonefishing from a rookie in the game - namely Global FlyFisher partner Martin Joergensen. He has discovered that both he and Lefty Kreh likes bonefishing best, and tries to unveil why they both share this passion with so many others.
Read the article in its entirety here
Bonefish Theme
This is a first in the Global Flyfisher's history: a theme! This theme is about bonefishing, the hunt for one of the most sought after fish in the world: Albula Vulpes, the white fox or the ghost of the flats.
Go to the introduction and from there to each of the articles.
In Search of a Rising Tide
22 minutes and 30 seconds. That's what you can expect to spend spellbound at your television or computer when you slot this DVD for the first time.
The start reveals its qualities: subtle narration...
Bonefishing the Flats with Craig Mathews
Even though I do have a few remarks regarding this DVD, it is certainly one of the better ones I have watched lately, and definitely the best how-to DVD I have seen on bonefishing.
Re: Do You?
I do!!
Oh man, Martin. We are like brothers in this regard. I have tins filled to overflowing with flies that will likely never see the light of day again (to say nothing of the water of a trout s...
Heads
This is the end that counts to to most anglers: where the mouth is and where the fly is supposed to go. All these fish opened theirs over a hook, and they paid for it with a portrait. Pictures of fish from the very small sand eel to the very large steelhead.
See the images here. Not much text. Promise!
Fins
Gotta stay on the fins to survive, as the fish said. We feature another gallery of not-so-traditional fish photos, this time of fins. See round ones, sharp ones, big ones and small ones in this gallery put together with pictures from several GFF photographers.
See the images here. Not much text. Promise!
Do you?
I just spent a couple of days going through all my fly tying stuff, my books and my fly fishing odds and ends. I have a corner in the house where I store all that stuff, and that corner had become qui...
Death and the flybox
While fishing the coast for a few hour yesterday, I caught a nice sea trout. My intention was to release it, but things developed a little differently.
While fighting it, I wanted a picture of the ...
