Jan 2. 2002	My Fly Box	This is my fly box. The very box that I carry in my chestpack when I go fishing on the Danish coast. It's a hand made Schweitzer mahogany box, if you're interested - the most stylish type of fly box I have ever owned.
Jan 1. 2002	Fishing in the North East	The International Fly Tyers Symposium brought me to The North East corner of USA, and I had the chance to fish a couple of days with some of the other international and local tyers and fishermen.

Jan 1. 2002	Furled leaders DIY	The following description on how to make your own twined leaders was given to me by Henk Verhaar from Holland. Henks description fascinated me so much, that I made the first set of three leaders already the first night after having recieved the description.
Jan 1. 2002	Knots for the fly fisherman	The discussion of knots seems endless. We probably never will know exactly which knot is the best, and the ultimate knot has not yet been tied. We list the following knots in a knot table and show how to tie them one by one -- with a little comment attached.
Jan 1. 2002	Thread control	If you ever saw skilled tyers tie, you'll probably have noticed that many of them keep spinning the bobinholder more or less vividly every time the let go of it. If you didn't notice, try looking the next time you see a 'pro' tie.
Jan 1. 2002	Good floss work	I've developed a habit instilled in me by my salmonfly tying mentors. When evaluating the salmon fly dressings of others, I look at the floss work first. It is a key characteristic that determines and shows the skills of the cream of the crop.
Jan 1. 2002	Whip fisnish with your hands	Whip finishing without a tool is not at all difficult. Lots of people use and praise the whip finishing tool which comes in many variations.
Jan 1. 2002	Trust me, Mon!	How would you like a story that features blue sky, clear water, bonefish galore - not to mention The Mother of all hangovers and the greatest fishing spot on the face of this earth? Well, you get it all here in Paul Slaney's fantastic three piece story from the Bahamas. Trust me, Mon!
Jan 1. 2002	Yellowstone	On horseback into the pristine areas of Yeallowstone in pursuit for cutthroats. Read Hamilton Brocious' fantastic story from a wilderness fishing camp with ready access to wild native cutthroat trout. So isolated that you won't see any other fishing groups during your whole stay.
Jan 1. 2002	The High Sierras	Join webmaster Martin Joergensen on a hectic trip through the Northern California fishing for stocked, wild and native trout with his friend Rich Lobrowich
Jan 1. 2002	Fly fishing leaders and tippets	Leaders fall in several categories. These all serve the same purpose: transmitting the energy fra the fly line to the fly in a gentle, yet firm way. The different types each have their advantages and disadvantages, and selecting one is often a question of compromises.
Jan 1. 2002	Turbo Block	Siman Ltd. has taken the Turbo dubbing twister a step further with this tool, which enables you to easily make your own dubbing brushes - stiff or soft and from almost any dubbing material.
Jan 1. 2002	Salt Water Caddis	A muddler pattern
Jan 1. 2002	Monster Muddler	A large muddler for pike
Jan 1. 2002	Tying a muddler	The most important step in preparation is getting the right kind of hair. Buy your hair at a reliable source. Good spinning hair patches are dense and have little underfur. The single natural hair should be dull and light at the base, slightly waved at the root, and have a short tapered tan/black tip section.
Jan 1. 2002	Inspiration	A few muddlers as inspiration
Jan 1. 2002	Beginner's Guide to Flytying	European authors Chris Mann and Terry Griffiths angle for a new spin on beginner flytying books. With barely a photograph and just a small piece on materials and tools, see why this book gets a rare score on the GFF Review scale. GFF partner Steve Schweitzer reviews the book.
Jan 1. 2002	Rod building	Tom Kirkman's book "Rod Building Guide" is a cover-to-cover brain dump of the author's experience building all manner of fishing rods. He doesn't tell the reader as much how to do things, as he does why, and almost as importantly, why not.
Jan 1. 2002	Distant Waters	You'll be enchanted and tempted by R.Valentine Atkinson's book with pictures of fly fishing destinations all over the world and thrilled and entertained by the accompanying texts written by the greatest contemporary writers. Read the full review here.
Jan 1. 2002	St. Croix Legend Ultra	St. Croix has long been known for superior spin-fishing rods... until know. Read the review here.
Jan 1. 2002	Loch Dhu Salmon	A pattern for salmon in the summer dusk. A salmon fly inspired by the Scottish pattern named after the lake Loch Dhu
Jan 1. 2002	Dalby Revenger	This was one of the first flies I tied with a rabbit skin I got dyed with picric acid. The innovations found in this pattern are limited - to put it mildly - not much new under the sun here. The color is also far from any color found in food items digested by sea trout.
Jan 1. 2002	The Orange Silver	A fly which is just a piece of imagination created one evenning in march. I have been fooling around with a plain type of steelhead or salmon flies this last year. These are all signified by simple feather wings and the use of classic materials like floss, tinsel and plain feathers
Jan 1. 2002	The Rocket	During a recent gettogether with some Danish flyfishers I hauled out some of my cod flies. One of them was this one - The Rocket. They were quite excited about the fly - first of all because it's a light tube fly, second because it's very durable. They saw in it not only the cod fly that I had made, but also a pike fly, a fly for pike perch and a universal fly for all kinds of deep fishing for larger fish.
Jan 1. 2002	Harry Boyd	GFF's own bamboo rod expert and maker of these beautiful rods. Best known for his extremely popular series on making your own bamboo rods.
Jan 1. 2002	Peter Frailey	Pete Frailey lives with his wife and three teenage children in Carlisle, Massachusetts, some 30 miles west of Boston.
Jan 1. 2002	Jean-Marc Klees	Interests focus on: Firearms, Horses, Literature, Magazines, Scuba Diving, Whitewater Canoeing. I'm definitely a fan of Ernest Hemingway and Zane Grey, not to forget the Whiskies of the World!
Jan 1. 2002	Muddler mania - Small Polar Muddler	A small muddler
Jan 1. 2002	Muddler mania - Full Metal Jacket Nutria Muddler	A conehead muddler/zonker
Jan 1. 2002	Lee Wulff	Lee Wulff was a quintessential fly-fisherman. From earliest childhood growing up in Alaska, Lee and the outdoors were two intertwined threads in the pattern of a long and accomplished life.
Jan 1. 2002	Tying Flies the Paraloop Way	Dig out your gallows tools, you're gonna need it after you read this book. My first thought was probably the same as yours - what is "paraloop"?

2001

Date	Title	Body	Image
Dec 15. 2001	The Bumble Bee	This pattern was originally made one evening when I was tying with some friends. My friend Henning had some light SLF left over from one of his flies. I scavenged the SLF and started a fly on a heavy Tiemco hook. The tail was casually made from some natural bucktail that I had brought.

Oct 10. 2001	Advertising policy	The Global FlyFisher is fully non-commercial and does not sell or exchange advertising space.
Oct 10. 2001	The Bottle Cleaner	This is an old favorite. Good under almost all conditions and with a lot of trout in its history.
Oct 10. 2001	The Black Frede	The Grey Frede is a surefire pattern for sea trout. It's a very versatile and robust fly that has become very popular. I decided to tie a darker version of the same fly.
Oct 10. 2001	Bunny Leech	This is a steelhead pattern, normally made with black or purple rabbit. But with natural rabbit it makes a very good pattern for the coast. By cutting a narrower strip of rabbit and choosing natural colors a lighter dressing is achieved. Good for spring fishing and fishing in current like over reefs.
Oct 9. 2001	Crazy Dane	Anybody can see that the Crazy Dane is really a Crazy Charlie - a very common salt water fly from the U.S. This type of fly is rarely seen in our part of the world, and I know no other fishers that use it.
Oct 9. 2001	The Fair Fly	This fly is a larger and more imitative variation of the Squirrel Zonker. The addition of the eyes and the heavy hair hackle makes the fly more fishlike and the Fair Fly is a good imitation of a sculpin.
Oct 9. 2001	Christmas Tree	Again a 'classic' Danish fly. Actually only uses one significant material: a piece of mylar tubing. Body can be covered with yarn or floss to add color. A really good fly for cold or unclear water. Fish deep and slow in the winter.
Oct 9. 2001	David	Even though the pattern was inspired by a technique showed to me by Davy Wotton, it's not named after him, but after my little brother David. The material is rabbit fur in tufts, tied in on top and under the hook shank.
Sep 14. 2001	Morrisfoam Diver	"My, what an ugly fly!" Henning glances with disgust at the brightly colored foam fly shining from the hook rest on my 5 wt. Learn more about the Morrisfoam Diver for sea trout.
Sep 11. 2001	Grey Frede	I had the distinct pleasure of meeting the Danish shoreline fly fisher Peter Loevendahl, who is a discrete man. He goes around quietly in his native western Seeland and catches fish. A lot of fish.
Sep 10. 2001	Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies	Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies by Paul Marriner should not be viewed as simply a book.
Sep 9. 2001	A Black Fly	I've had little experience fishing with this fly which is quite recent in my collection. It has all the characteristics of a good night fly, it's fast and easy to tie and durable too. It should be a fly worth having in you box.
Sep 8. 2001	An experiment	What else would you expect to find in a lab...? This fly is one of the many that I seem to crank out at random. Most of them end up as garbage and never even find their way into my fly boxes, but this one had something. Just a little something.
Sep 7. 2001	Sand eel/lance	The sand eel or lance - called the tobis in Danish - is one of the most common fish on the Dansih coasts, and is an important part of the diet of especially larger sea trout and cod for that matter. Because of that it is an interesting fish to imitate.
Sep 4. 2001	Henning's Snot	This fly was originally developed by Henning Eskol, a member of the Bananaflies - my fly tying guild.
