David, first get better. Second, Roderick Haig-Brown once said; "I have fished through fishless days that I remember happily without regret." Thought I would relate one of those day. So I am on the edge of a lake full of trout and Big mouth. Great spot, right under a hugh pine tree. Nothing all day but I am loving it. Then from across the lake, a spot a bird. It keeps getting bigger, and bigger. Straight out in front of me. It hits the water and snags a beautiful fish, then lands right above me in that pine. Next thing I know fish scales are falling on my head. I must admit it was one beautiful eagle. I packed up and left him to his dinner. Best to you and yours, Robert

Life is but a trial which leads us through many trails, you are stronger for it, Live Life to the fullest and let's count all our blessings, Cheers, Be strong, Be Healthy, Be Happy..:)

whatever happens to me while fishing it wont be worse compared to skiing, creeking, biking , drinking, kiffing. watching TV or falling in love.... So go out and fish as long as you can, there is nothing better for my mood and health then to be near a fish with a rod in my hand

Hi Martin,

Knowing about your MS was like a punch on my face. I know many fishermen from many places, but no one with your enthusiasm about fishing. I'm sure that passion and your optimistic thinking will let you enjoy fishing and traveling for other 50 years!

You are on our prayers!

The best for you man!

I heartily agree with 90% of the above--especially the staff. I don't own a cell phone and probably won't. I fish alone because the solitude is my therapy. I tell my wife, you go to your church and I'll go to mine. The river.

Donald,

Those are really beautiful flies! Classic, simple, good looking. And probably also effective fishing flies.

Terry,

That's certainly a pity! But not anything we can do much about...

Try contacting Mustad. They have more contact information online than you can throw a stick at - addresses, phone numbers, email-addresses, contact forms. They shouldn't be hard to reach.

I have been on line all morning trying to order 2000 of the 91753-DT and seems to be impossible.

Mike,

Like Hare's Ear I can only say: envy, envy!

The winter has just turned up a notch or two the latest weeks, and now we have ice almost all over the place. No fishing here. Fly tying, photos and GFF articles. That's m'life! And some work, a bit of food, some sleep and a few other things...

Martin

Hi Hares ear, if it's that cold I can see why a bit of envy might set in. To be fair here in Auckland we have had the worst summer for years, the last couple of weeks have been good but prior to that it has blown hard and rained since about November.
If it gets realy cold you should think about shooting down this way for a fishing fix!
All the best.

Chris what a piece of artwork you have created. It is beautiful and a perfect fly to honour a very talented man such as Warren Duncan. The first time I watched this video I had a hard time concentrating on what he was tying because I was so fascinated by his story telling and found it incredible he could tie a fly at the same time he was telling this story.

Since you got this far …

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.
