I've fished for tarpon a few times and caught a few, but never felt the thrill that I see people get from fishing for these fish

Sometimes a fly-tyer thinks out of the box, and suddenly the complex and difficult becomes very simple - like tying a great clam worm fly.

The catchphrase for this DVD is "Fish.Drive.Survive.", which very well sums up what it's all about. The Geofish team of four goes on a mildly crazy trip to Mexico in a well worn truck running on vegetable oil and a good dollop of enthusiasm and defiance.

For many saltwater anglers the term "worm hatch" has a magical ring to it. When the worms spawn, the fish usually go berserk, be it trout, stripers or tarpon. As one writer puts it: It's like yelling "free lunch" to a high school football team.

Fishing for large tarpon on the fly. The bright and feisty Megalops.

This DVD is amazing! Surprising! Different!

The Masters on the Fly series of books by Wild River Press (see here , here, and here) are getting harder and harder to review.

Malbran is the fly that catches everything. Created by Ramiro Garcia Malbràn and tied with simple and cheap materials it's the ideal fly for fierce predators like dorado, pike and bass.

This book took me from the Introduction through its seemingly endless (in the good way, that is) fishing stories.

This is a fantastically beautiful book!

I fell in love with it even before I owned it. I happened to pass by a Danish web site, which had a review of the book, and immediately started a hunt for the publisher in order to get a copy to review. Now, this book is published in Argentina, and Argentinian publishers don't really do a great job of making it easy to contact them. At the same time this book is not exactly widely distributed or marketed.

If Rodney Dangerfield were a fish, he'd probably be a hickory shad. They just don't get much respect. This article by Mark Dysinger aims to set that straight and give the shad the attention it really deserves from fly anglers.

There is no question that saltwater fly fishing is a booming industry - at least compared to the much older pastime of trout fishing. Go to any of the big fly fishing shows in the winter and the percentage of tyers, outfitters, guides, and shops that are saltwater oriented increases every year. In synch with this phenomenom is the similar boom in books and magazine articles dealing with saltwater topics.

You do not get to fish a 12 weight one hand rod every day. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has had the pleasure of field testing a Sirrus 12 wt - an impressing rod at a very good price.

I wanna go Bonefishing!

And thanks to Randall Kaufmann's gorgeous book I can — on paper at least. His book Bonefishing! is a true masterpiece in contemporary fly fishing literature.

The magnitude of this book alone was enough to stir my interest when I first saw it at a fly show in The Netherlands. The photo on the front page just wet my appetite further, and letting my fingers run through the pages definitely assured me that I needed to get to know this book better. It's drop dead gorgeous as they say in the UK.

Read web site partner Martin Joergensen's report and see the fantastic pictures from his spring trip to Belize after bonefish, tarpon, barracuda, jacks, snappers, permit - and everything else that swims in these warm, turquoise waters.
