Norm and Ruthie [CEO & Chair-person of the Board] on tour...
This photo was taken just before the doors opened at the 2011 Somerset Fly Fishing Show in New Joizey last January...
I first met Norm and Ruthie way back in the late 80's at the Marlboro FF Show in Taxachusetts... the beginning of a genuine friendship...
My vise [at the time] was an HMH which served me very well and is still in my collection of venerable "kinetic sculptures"...
After watching Norm do his thing, I made the investment and I've never had any regrets...
The "Automatic Bobbin" completes the package and is brilliant phrosting on the cake!...
EVERY time I get to watch Norm, I ALWAYS learn a few more amazing tricks...
And I ALWAYS enjoy spending time with quality and innovative tools [Lord knows, I have more than my fair share]...
Nor-Vise... NO regrets!
I love listening to your podcast's, good talks. A glass of wine and sitting at my bench tying up some flies while listening to your adventures is a good time.

There's one other thing to add to the list:
a strong back to carry all these things
Swellcat,
I have no idea what does the trick in furniture polish! The main trick is most likely to make the line water repellent, and for that any greasy or oily substance can be used. I personally prefer the silicone-based products such as Mucelin.
The effect of the furniture polish might also be smoothness and shootability. For that purpose there are line treatments, which improve the slickness of the line. Loon has some, and so do other manufacturers.
But personally I find the running lines smooth enough while floatability is generally lousy, so making sure the line floats is a priority for me. Any water repelling substance can be use for that: Mucelin, silocone for shoes, grease for gaskets and much more. I even know an angler who used hair gel! The gel is water-soluble, so I wouldn't go for that, but anyhow...
Hope this helps.

An Australian vendor suggests Dacron (same stuff used for backing) treated with Mr. Sheen (a furniture polish, I gather) as running line. Any guesses as to what components of the polish are helpful and, therefore, what substitutes might be used?
Bug-Bond, Super Hair, Crystal Flash, 3D Eyez... Bada BING, Bada BOOM...

I received a signed copy of your new book, Fly Fishing for Striped Bass yesterday June 25th, that you gave to my son Chris Aubut, at the Fly Fishing Show in Marlboro MA. I want to thank you and appreciate your kind gesture, it is a beautiful book and will be a great addition to my library in Florida
Thanks Again

Dear visitor,
We have contacted some of the tyers and video producers and told them that we use their videos, but no - in general we don't have an individual permission.
But all the videos we brig are from services that offer embedding (the thing we do) as a part of their package and actually endorse that other sites use the videos as part of their content. The submitter of the video can usually protect the video from such an embedding in which case we can't use it.
You will find that this is a way of sharing that is used widely on the web, and contrary to images and photos, the whole video community is based on this form af spreading of the videos. If any of the originators asked us to remove their content, we would of course immediately do so.
Martin
do you have the permission of all the fly tiers, videos you are using?
Hi, Donald

Can anybody recommend a good guide who can introduce an experienced fly fisherman ( my husband who has 15 years+ experience from the UK and US) to costal flyfishing in Denmark?
Kind regards,

Hi. Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe people out there are confusing mudfish with yellows. Someone posted that he had caught over 30 yellows in one day. I have not even caught that many all together. Plenty of muddies (maybe I am confusing them and I have caught more yellows than I think). Maybe I am fishing the wrong spot (Silwerstroom and Yellofish Paradise) or maybe my technique is off but I would be really happy to catch more than two yellows in one day.
Hi, mate
Sorry for my late replay!
The fly is very successful.I use it most as a dropper.
"Works" in muddy and clear watter.
Regards
Great to see all these together like this. Good work
Thanks Bob! I've got lots more to add over the next little while as well. :)
Thanks, glad you liked it. I enjoy making them.

Hello Martin,
www.artesanosdelacandana.com is the website of the author of the spanish book "La mosca ahogada".
He owns a small flyfishing shop near the city Leon in Spain and he also breeds the famous coq de leon-roosters for feathers used in lots of fly patterns.
In the summer of 2009 I fished a small mountain stream called Rio Curueno with Tomas as guide, a fantastic experience!
Greetings

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
