Simply the Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Nov 24. 2018
It's been a while since the latest newsletter, mainly because the publishing pace has been a little slow.
I expect the frequency of new articles to rise a bit during the winter. I have more time to tie, write and shoot images and typically also get more material from outside contributors.
This newsletter has a couple of such articles: one from Danish Jesper Barslev and one from Czech Bretislav Kaspar.
More are on the way, among them one from South African Korrie Broos on tying an effective dragonfly nymph.
Should you have an idea for an article, feel free to contact me and pitch it. I’m very open to publishing all kinds of articles: patterns, trip reports, DIY projects, fishing tips, destination ideas, reviews.
If you have interesting products or books in need of some press, I’m also game. Contact me and let’s see if we can work out something. I’m always on the lookout for interesting content, and the large GFF audience is a good crowd to get in contact with.
Apart from that it’s tying season on the northern hemisphere, and I have broken out my material and started tying flies. I have taken to tying classic style wet flies, and intend to keep that up and make it into a few articles and patterns.
As always there’s a ton of new videos, and we’re slowly working our way towards 10,000 videos hosted on the GFF video channel, the clearly most popular section of the site.
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. See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.
The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
