GFF Newsletter: Softly Softly | Primordial Bonefish Stew | Sleekit Streamer | The Water's Violin | Organzackle

The latest newsletter went out in March, and one of the articles promoted in it was a call for contributions. You can read it here, and the call is still out: if you feel like helping with some content, please contact me. You can mail me at martin@globalflyfisher.com, or you can simply reply to this mail.

Luckily I had some good response to my call, and one result was a contact to British fly angler and tyer Nick Thomas, who has since the initiation of this contact delivered a bunch of great pattern articles featuring his innovative and very modern flies, as you will see below. Nick wrote the excellent book "Fly Couture", which I reviewed recently.

Other people have been in contact, and I hope that some of these contacts will result in new and exciting content soon.

But... fishing season has rolled over the northern hemisphere, and that means that people go... eh... fishing... And good on them! But it also means that the time for writing articles, tying flies, making videos, taking step-by-step pictures and such is on the back burner, and the inflow of new material is slow. That's OK, because hopefully a lot of people are fishing and not browsing the web for off-season entertainment and education.

Still, there is new content on the site, and if you have something to share, my desire for contributions is still there, so please be in contact, and we can work something out.

Or you could just go fishing! I'd forgive you your priorities.

Main content Softly Softly The Partridge Parachute Emerger - or PPE for short - is a soft hackle dry fly, all limp and spindly   Primordial Bonefish Stew This saltwater variation of Trevor Tanner's Primordial Carp Stew works very well at fooling large spooky bonefish in shallow water   Sleekit Streamer A productive zonker pattern tied with synthetic fur. Easy to tie, easy to cast.   The Water's Violin A poem about fly-fishing inspired by Bela Bartok   Organzackle This nymph pattern teaches you how to make a sparkling hackle from organza ribbon - in two different ways even!   Combover The Combover is a generic mayfly nymph imitation.

This article explains why - and what you can do.   Kluting A bottom seeking fly for pike, bass, cod, pike perch, sea trout - even bonefish and many other fish.   The LAW of attraction I was among the lucky fly-tyers who managed to lay my hand on one of Lawrence Waldron's LAW fly-tying vises while he made them - and they could be bought at reasonable prices.		Blog Virtual fly tying During Corona it has become quite common to have social gatherings online - Skype, Zoom, Teams... you name it. Communal fly tying can be done in the same way   A lousy old fly rod Some years back I had to fish with the oldest and worst fly rod I ever owned... and you know what? It wasn't bad at all.   Being on Instagram Social media can be a strange experience. It's really a mixed bag. And on Instagram 40% of all anglers seem to be women!   Videos Perdigon Fly   Fly Tying Videos. Which camera should I buy?   Frenchie   Snaelda   Pheasant tail   Mysla   No-Rise Nymph
