Mullets and cows!
We had one of these fishing trips a few days ago... one of those that will never be forgotten.
First of all we ran into a large school of mullet. We have done so many times before, but contrary to ...
Convertible tubes
Tube fly tyer Tony Pagliei explains his Convertible Tube Flies - a modular system that combines a set of tube tied front parts and a set of dressed hooks into as many different flies as you can imagine in a versatile, modular system.
Follow Tony's instructions here.
Nice online flyshop
I rarely look at fly fishing sites online... this might seem like a paradox, but honestly: I spend so much time creating web sites (as a professional and on GFF), and that is so much more fun than sur...
Jan's GP
One day, while fishing my favourite water, Barnsfold in Lancashire, which is surrounded on one large side with a good head of pine trees round the reservoir, I noticed quite a few terrestrials being blown on to the water. The trout were going crazy for them.

Poppers
Making poppers is just about as fun as fly tying gets for me. I mean - heck - I hardly fish for bass anymore, but I still get a huge kick from making these amazing and colorful flies. This past winter...
Tube Flies
This is the all-time classical volume on tube flies, and as the title implies it deals with all aspects of tube flies.
Vaughn Cochran
Read about Florida artist, guide and store owner Vaughn Cochran's history and see samples of his beautiful art, which stretches from pop art over impressionsitic scenes to sculptures. Cochran paints and sculpts fish and scenes from his home waters as well as other tropical waters.
Read how two passions blend - art and fishing.
Great rod tests
Good rod tests are few and far apart if you ask me. UK Magazine Trout&Salmon has some that I like and, I occasionally bump into other magazines that have some good tests too. I know no web sites that ...
Monster trout!
"Ørret Eldorado" means "Trout Eldorado" in Norwegian and is the very suitable title for a DVD made by Norwegian production company Scanout Multimedia.
Now, if I didn't have cabin fever already, tha...
Cool, crazy flies
Matti Majorin whose name sounds kind of Finnish, is a fly tyer and angler whose Foam Toad flies have stirred my interest - not least because they are really crazy in colors and construction.

Tie a muddler
One evening when I was tying flies with a couple of friends, one of them, Nils, asked me to tie a muddler, just as a demo. I did. Luckily the other friend, Henning, was quick and caught these great pictures of the process.
These step-by-step pictures show you how to tie a nice muddler.
Dual Tube Phlyz
In an effort to entice larger striped muggers (stripers) during the spring herring run on Cape Cod when big fish venture back into the shallow estuaries to the herring runs, Pete Gray started tying 8-12+ inches herring flies on double tubes.
See his humogous striper flies and read his story here
Yoshikazu Fujioka
Ever since GFF partner Martin Joergensen first discovered Yoshikazu Fujioka's Japanese web site, which was amongst the first fishing related pages he ever found on the web, he was fascinated with Fujioka's art. Now GFF can present images from "Trouts and Seasons of the Mountain Streams".
See them here
Tube Styles
If you think that a tube for a tube fly is a cylindrical piece of plastic, then you are in for a surprise. This article will present more tube styles than most fly tyers ever imagined, and probably teach even seasoned tubers a thing or two.
Read this first article in the GFF tube fly theme.
Tube Basics
This is the first article in the GFF Tube Fly Theme: An introduction to the concept of tube flies and some arguments for using tubes rather than hooks. The article will give you a basic knowledge about tube flies and prepare you for the rest of the theme.
Start your tube ride here.
Server upgrading
Running your own web server - as we do - means that some chores have to be done now and then. Right now we're upgrading the server software in order to secure the system as well as we can.

Fly tying weather
This summer has been the summer that never really came. We had a week or two of hot weather back in May, but since then it has been cloudy, windy and most of all: rainy.
Right now (early July) it's...
Russia rules!
There are many more Russian language web pages on fly fishing than you might imagine. And some seem really good.
Running down the man
Now here's something which you don't see that often: fishing for roosterfish from the beach. No boat, no guide, no poling.
Fly-Fishing for Smallmouth in Rivers and Streams
A steaming bowl of chili, Jets vs Patriots, and a great book on smallmouth fishing filled with pictures of anglers in short sleeves and lots of sunshine.

What more can be said about a Steve Raymond book that hasn't already been said? Simply put, he is one of the finest authors who has ever laid pen to paper on the subject of fly fishing.

How To Catch the Biggest Trout of your Life
Czech Nymph
I was tying at a show in Roscoe, NY this past Spring when a gentleman approached my table to ask about tying Czech nymphs, referring the article I wrote a couple years ago .
Tying and Fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs
To borrow a phrase from the great G.E.M. Skues, wet fly fishing continues to be a minor tactic among fly anglers.
The Fly-Fisher's Craft
I've enjoyed all of Darrel Martin's fly fishing books, and "The Fly-Fisher's Craft" is no exception.
The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide
Jan's Bugs
Coming soon to a GFF article near you, a very cool set of terrestrial foam flies from across the big pond, courtesy of Jan in the UK. Here's a sneak peek:
Tube Fly Turmoil
Tube flies are flies tied on a tube rather than a hook. But putting it that simple is almost a crime, because tubes have evolved dramatically over the last few years, and bottles, rear tubes, Shomakov tubes, FITS tubes and all sorts of new systems have seen the light of day.
Start the grand tube tour here.

Not for money. Not for fame (well, maybe a little). Not out of duty.

GFF Summit 2007
So there will be a GFF Summit this year! At long last Martin Joergensen has found the time to get some facts together and start working on the dates and practicalities. It will be in September and take place on Fyn, Denmark like last year,
and you are cordially invited to participate.
Carinthian Gold
Does one of the best spots for fishing for graylings with a colour “like gold”, good water conditions most of the spring, summer and autumn, still undiscovered by cormorants and yet unknown to the cosmopolitan fly fishing scene sound interesting?
Then maybe you should read Tobias Renkawitz' article
50$ fly rod/reel/line
Just a couple of days ago a flyer arrived in my letterbox. It was from a local supermarket, and on the front I noticed something that wasn't a gallon of orange joice, sliced ham or diapers in big bags...
