Das Cephalopod
Spring is near and the Cephalopod parade is about to begin. Blue Fish will soon arrive to partake in the high protein seafood buffet and there is also a gathering of Stripers to make it all worthwhile and goal oriented...

Capt. Paul Rose
Capt. Paul Rose, with Carolinabonefishing.com in Charlotte, N.C., has 20 plus years of fly-fishing experience.
He enjoys chasing both salt and freshwater fish but carp are always a hometown favor...
Carp on the Fly
"Carolina blue skies, light and variable wind forecast with temperatures in the 90s were working to my advantage this July morning." Read Capt. Paul Rose's advice on carp fishing. Tactics, gear and flies. "Pound for pound their fighting ability surpasses all other freshwater fish."

Fly Reel Blues
The article is in essence about fly reels, but diverges into bikes and even cars, GFF partner Martin Joergensen wonders why fly reels have to be so expensive. When manufacturers can make cheap and long lasting bike hubs, why can't fly reels be the same?

Rise + Drift
I have taken the liberty of reviewing these two epic DVD's in one review. They each have their merits and are very different regarding specific content, location and people, but they are much the same...
Fly Line Blues
Once in a while Martin needs a different line than the one, which he has been using for a while, and he has to dive into his line stash. That makes him think about the crazy prices on fly lines and ways to buy lines cheaper and organize them better.

Squid Vicious
Each fall and winter Puget Sound hosts millions of Squid as they move into inland waters to spawn. Puget Sound local Kelvin Kleinman has created the Squid Vicious to imitate these protein rich morsels.

Unsinkable Dry Flies

On sale!
Some things make no sense, but we do them anyway - like driving 3 hours out and 3 hours home to go shopping.
Shoot the weather
How do you frame wind? How is snow captured best? How do you protect your camera when you try to freeze a shower into a single image? No, it's not at all easy to get the impression of weather into that piece of mechanics and electronics we call a camera.

Pictures of nature
Don't forget that fishing is many other things than anglers, fish and casting. The animals we see, the landscapes, the flowers and all the little details.
This article tells you how to get better nature photos.
Action Emerging Caddis
This fly is similar in outline to many existing caddis patterns, but has features unlike any caddis emerger pattern the originator has seen. It's based not so much on looking exactly like the real thing, but trying to get a fly to act like it.

Sinister Phly
Another variation on large saltwater flies from the hands of Pete Gray. Mainly for striped bass, but useful for other specied too. This is the sinister version for fishing in darkness - or for dead drifting at O'dark thirty as Pete puts it.

Another one!
Innocent fly anglers can also be lured into spending money on odd and probably worthless causes and products.
Aux Outardes River Pike
Pike fishing is not only possible in lakes. Some rivers offer great pike fishing, and there is no end to the number of great new fishing spots in Quebec's Aux Outardes River. The cold clear water offers fantastic trophy pike fishing.

Phar Side Phly
They all start out as PhuzzieNotions [R&D ideas rattling around in Pete Gray's noggin and looking for a place to happen]... and then materialize into PharSidePhlyz. Saltwater flies can all start here and become almost anything.
