Dec 2014 - Editorial - Articles, blog posts
Same same, but different
Looking back at 2014. The most popular articles and pages on the Global FlyFisher the past year looks much as it always does... with a few changes.
See several top 10 lists here
Eunan Hendron, Loydd Lutes and Larry Leight Streamers
It's the last day of 2014 and there are some really cool and unique streamers on auction. We will be posting a few more collections over the next year...
King of the moonfish
Moonfish are odd but fascinating creatures, and I have the honor of having been called king of the moonfish during a family trip to Florida.

Mangrove tarpon
I was never really taken by tarpon fishing. I've done it a few times and caught a few tarpon, but never felt the thrill that I see people get from fishing for these fish.

Summit opener
This was one of those days where things just worked out, and I took advantage of it and behaved slightly out of order.

Jewel of the Rockies
Little jewels of the mountains, greenback cutthroats cruising along the shore, easily visible from the rocks and eager to take almost anything offered.

Streamers 365 Volume 1-3 Now Available as Trade Edition
Good News! It may have taken quite a while, but trade editions are finally complete and available online now. The new editions feature all of the same...

Lloyd Lutes Streamers and WIllis & Sons Hooks
It was a welcome surprise to see a new set of streamers for sale on Ebay from noted Canadian tyer Lloyd Lutes. Not only does he tie a mean streamers,...
My float tube is a sputnik
I enter the water... I enter another universe. My tube is a sputnik suspended in the space above a lunar surface of sand and stone. I'm the astronaut. The clear water is my vaccum. I turn on my mental time lock and make the first cast.

The man with the silver waders
This is about a steelhead - a sea run rainbow trout. We don't have wild rainbow trout here, so all rainbows we catch are escaped hatchery or sea farm fish. And most are butt ugly. But not this one.

My most recent decent fish
Oddly enough the first fish I thought of when I started writing this series was my most recent decent coastal sea trout, which I'm ashamed to say was caught more than four years ago.

Microjig nymphs and small streams
Small stream fly fishing can be quite a big challenge. They are often fast, small waters, full of rocks, deep pools and broken barriers. The level of water varies according to the season and it greatl...

Saltwater Flies
The contents of my fairly well stocked fishing book shelves bear witness to the fact that I love fly pattern books. My small book database says that I currently have 115 pattern books.
