Rolled Trout

One of my favorite dishes with trout is to make these trout rolls. Trout is both tasty and healthy - although I'm afraid I will spoil the latter a bit with this recipe. But who can resist fish, lemon, parsley and mustard?

Carrie Challenge II

Back in 2002 a bunch of guys on the streamers@ mailing list decided to tie some flies "in the hand" without the benefit of a vise. This year a new crop took up the challenge with a different fly - Carrie's Favorite - and tackled the Look Ma, No Vise challange.

Fifty more places to fly fish before you die

AD Maddox

"She's a Ducati riding, Wyoming roaming, fly fishing girl born in Tennessee... " This is how fly fishing artist AD Maddox is introduced on her web site, and an introduction that has exactly the effect that I suppose was intended: I gotta know more about her!

A Backyard in Nowhere Q&A

The DVD "A Backyard in Nowhere" is something else. Fly fishing, sure, but also a different experience traveling, fishing, hunting and meeting people by the Innoko River system in Alaska.

A Backyard in Nowhere

After having seen this DVD, I'm reminded in many ways about my feelings after having seen the first of AEG's videos, Trout Bum Diaries.

Heads or Tails

Permit in Australia must be the new thing in fly fishing, judging from this DVD and a host online videos popping up during the last few years.

A money box
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.
