Copies!

GFF is heavily copied all over the world - and not in the good way!

Trout Grass

This is a fantastic journey! And in more than one sense.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Search of a Rising Tide

It's short, but it's very good, this unorthodox DVD about bonefishing.

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?

Yes!!!

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.

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.

Do you?

Do you save boxes full of old flies for no reason? I do!

Death and the flybox

I broke my Aquafly flybox yesterday!

Tails

This is an image gallery a bit different than we usually do them. We have so many great pictures in our stock that we need some way to get them out to you. This is a gallery of tails. Yes, tails! Nothing but these beautiful rudders on the fish we catch.

Theft!

Other websites steal GFF content!

100 Weird Ways to Catch Fish

About a year go GFF visitor and author John Waldman (of "Stripers, An Angler's Anthology" fame) posted a message on our discussion board with the subject

Fly-Fishing for Bonefish

When I started researching for my first bonefishing trip, one of the first names I bumped into was Chico Fernandez. His flies, his stories, his photos, his articles.

Fly Fishing Mexico - the Yucatan Peninsula

This is a fantastically beautiful book!

Re: Bream

Big but not strong

Bream

A fish almost as high as it is long

Re: Bream

Holy Moly

Fishing Small Flies

This book is on the short list of must reads. No kidding. It's really good.

Cat days?

It's cold, colder, coldest!

Break a rod

There is nothing easier than breaking a flyrod. Former fishing guide Roland Henrion describes 10 easy ways to do it for those who want to try. The advice can of course be translated into 10 ways of avoiding rod breakage if you don't.

Dog Days

It's hot, hotter, hottest

Too many fish...

...but too little fishing. The story of my holiday.

Do you have some great fly fishing photos? Do you want to join us in an experiment?

A decade with GFF

The Global FlyFisher started as a stroke of luck, a flap of a butterfly's wing, a mere coincidence - more than 10 years ago. This is the previously untold story of one of the world's largest and most popular fly fishing web sites: your very own, the Global FlyFisher.

Grand Opening

The Grand Opening of Global FlyFisher as we know it was announced to the world in April 1999. We sent out a "press release".

Landing pike

Where can I find a well illustrated description of how to hand land a pike?

MidCurrent.com

A really excellent site which I almost forgot

I asked for it

Long time contributor Chris Del Plato reacted to my challenge

Favorite sites

Sticking out my neck here, and I know it!

New search

We have installed a new search facility

Boot Blues

GFF partner Martin Joergensen has owned quite a few wading boots in his time. None of them fit his bill for a perfect pair. Actually most of them fell apart and were trashed within a few seasons. His hunt for a perfect pair continues.

Practise, man!

How do you get to Albert Hall? Practise, man, practise!

Popper fun

I don't often fish poppers

Bunny Split

Two tails are better than one says Mark Dysinger, who is an avid pike angler. In this, his latest pattern, he has created a large and very lively fly for the mossy green predator of the lakes. And it can tempt a bass too...

Back at it

Recovery has gone well

How simple can it get?

Tying instructions? Materials list?! You must be kidding me! The list is close to being an insult and it is almost ridiculous to tell you how to create this fly in more than a sentence. This little saltwater fly is soooo simple.

Where'd they go?

The previously so abundant Danish sea trout have gone

Darth Vader Nymph

Black and deadly in appearence, the dark force of in the fly box - this is The Darth Vader Nymph. Get out your light sabres and put your old, scratched Star Wars video in the VCR, and tie some black nymphs.

Beaverkill Brown

Not my last fish of the season

Step on it!

But not the rod, huh?

First setup

Most of us know how, but this article is for the ones who never set up a fly reel from scratch. See which knots will work where and what type and amount of backing you most probably want. Start with this simple trout setup, and you can expand to other types.

Re: Fantastic Spring

While on the other side of the world

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
