Jan 17. 2010	Chuck's FlutterStone	Fly fishing guide Charles Robinton has put some serious trial and error into the design of his Chuck's FlutterStone. He thinks the result has the ideal amount of action, buggyness and overall attractiveness packed into the perfect stonefly profile.

Jan 15. 2010	The Fluff	Fish must be stupid to mistake this simple and efficient pattern for something edible, and luckily they are and they do. Danish Per Gade leads you through the paces of tying and fishing The Fluff.
Jan 9. 2010	Favorite Streamer Swap	There's nothing like a good fly swap to get the fly tying knuckles cracked, the creative juices flowing again. The reasons for joining a swap are many - but for me it's fun to tie flies for something other than my fly boxes, and I truly enjoy the friendship and comraderie that comes with participating in a swap. It's not about who ties the best flies or who has the best feathers.

Dec 24. 2009	Catch&Release	Releasing the fish we catch is getting more necessary every day if we want to continue fishing in the future. This is the main contribution a fly fisher can do for the conservation of the environment. Carlos Heinsohn provides a logo, which can be used to promote C&R.
Dec 17. 2009	Red Gold	This DVD is probably the prime example of the documentary trend that I mentioned in my article about the new breed of fly fishing videos.

Dec 6. 2009	Videos on GFF	We're entering the online video age. The plan is not to produce our own feature length DVD's in HD quality, but to expose the best online videos from other sources. So browse our first videos here and help us make this new feature better by pointing us to great online videos.
Nov 26. 2009	Para-Hackle Emerger	Effective anglers carry a myriad of emerger-style flies to take picky trout during hatches. While there are many styles of emergers to choose from, para-hackle style flies may not come to mind first. Tying emergers para-hackle style is a forgotten technique not often taught and even fished less. We at GFF can't understand why!?! Read along as GFF partner Steve Schweitzer walks you through the

Jun 22. 2009	Carlos R. Heinsohn	I’m probably one of the first addicts of GFF since the beginnings. Most of my virtual fishing has been made on those “waters” for the last ten years. I live in Bogotá, Colombia, on the northern corner of South America.
Jun 19. 2009	Lake Champ	Many years ago, when Colombian Carlos Heinsohn began to tie flies, he didn't have more than a few basic materials and not more than three models of hooks. He wanted a huge dragonfly nymph, so he made one almost entirely with black and brown marabou on a #6 hook with a few wraps of copper wire.
Jun 15. 2009	Tying Furled Flies	Nice flies, nice pictures, nice book! What can I say other than I think this is a very nice book? Well, I might consider explaining why I think this is a nice book...
Jun 14. 2009	Gear pictures	Martin maintains an archive of fly-fishing images together with a bunch of fishing friends. Nowadays it contains almost 12,000 images, and of those about 1,253 or more than 10% are tagged "gear". They take a lot of gear pictures.
May 31. 2009	Internet Flies	All of a sudden, the new season or a spontaneous fly fishing trip with your best buddy is imminent. At that stage, you may think about ordering flies through an online shop. Selling flies through the Internet is a growing business. There is a vast number of private and commercial suppliers of flies and a large range of prices and qualities.
May 17. 2009	The White	The White is a stable pattern in originator Rasmus Hansen's coastal sea trout flybox, He uses it as a provocation (read: attractor) or as a shrimp imitation, and prefers it for turbulent water and autumn fishing. The fly is simple, one color only, and one of these universal flies that can catch anything.
May 15. 2009	DeYoung all over	Fishy artist Derek DeYoung is all over the place
May 10. 2009	Once in a Blue Moon	I find it hard say anything bad about this DVD.

Apr 13. 2009	Baskets, trays, buckets	Sometimes you want to make sure that your line doesn't tangle and sometimes you want to make longer casts. A line or stripping basket, bucket or tray may be the solution. This article covers a bunch of types from rigid plastic buckets to ingenious contraptions with spikes and hooks.
Apr 12. 2009	The BC Chronicles part 1	The first steps towards a two week BC trip in October
Apr 2. 2009	Bent Rods	This might be considered a strange and kind of exotic photography subject to write a whole article about, but looking at the images that my fishing friends and I shoot, I can see that it's a very popular thing to shoot. As soon as a fish is hooked, we rush to the scene, and get quite a few bent rod pictures.
Apr 2. 2009	Rügen bound	I'll be leaving for the first real spring fishing tomorrow - four days on German Rügen
Mar 29. 2009	Shark's Caddis Larva	This is a very simple fly imitating the caddis larva. Some may call it realistic fly, some will say impressionistic, but no matter what, the originator says with 100% certainty that it's a killer pattern and he has caught lots of fish with it in many different places.
Mar 28. 2009	The Simplest Fly	“What is this” “A fly!” “What kind of fly” “Well, this is a fly that imitates a beetle” The fly that he showed me then was really huge one, may be about 2 - 2,5 centimeters or almost and inch in diameter. “Wow, why is it so big?” “Because I am an old man, I can not see well”
Mar 15. 2009	The Copper Bully	No sea trout box should be without a small Gammerus imitation, and the Copper Bully is one of the most efficient and easily tied ones. Consisting of very few materials in this version, it hardly gets any easier. It can also be a scud or a cress bug in a tight spot.
Mar 15. 2009	Hare's Ear Bug	Fished actively over sea weed and its likely to be mistaken for a gammarus. Same thing in a lake. Dead drifted or fished using a lift in a stream, it looks like a tumbling scud or cress bug or even a hatching caddis. What the fish think, I don't know, but it's a fact that they find it edible.
Mar 12. 2009	The Charlie Fly	The Charlie Fly was inspired by the underfur from the originator's Chocolate Lab. Ken Bonde Larsen's dog has unwillingly become the material manufacturer for this great sea trout producer. As it often is with Danish with sea trout flies it's a small, generic pattern.
Mar 11. 2009	Shark's Wasp	Bulgarian fly tyer and fly angler Radoslav Kiskinov takes another stab at imitating a terrestrial insect - this time the wasp - and with usual skill he manages to produce a very life-like fly. Bulgarian anglers and Bulgarian fish love it.
Mar 11. 2009	Radoslav Kiskinov	Bulgarian fly fisher and fly tier Radoslav Kiskinov.
Mar 10. 2009	Domestic Fly	The common housefly is indeed... eh.... common, and an obvious insect to imitate. Bulgarian Radoslav Kiskinov has made a simple but very efficient pattern imitating Musca domestica using foam, raffia and peacock herl, which will catch several species when fished dry.
