Hi my friend!
That's not a "Fly Tying Bench".
That's a "Fly Tying Villa"
Looks perfect - especially the holes :-))
Now I know where I can get flys if required.

Rain-X also comes in wipes that can be used over and over if stored in a container or zip-lock baggie.

GREAT WEB SITE.

There is a combination of ingredients in ZIPCast. A form of silicone is indeed in the product, but it is not the same type as that used by other line treatments. Suffice to say, ZIPCAST will not make your line sticky. Never. Never. Never. The proof is in the pudding - find someone who's used it and ask. Or, trust what Bob says in this review. The product will make your line slick and then over time it will simply disappear. But it will not leave any sort of sticky residue behind.

Am just starting out in tying and have already made a few mistakes on materials. This was a very good/informative article that I copied for future reference. I am going to take some of the suggestions on both materials and educational items and spend some time there before I go back into spending mode. Thanks

A highly raised thumbs up to that lovely little gadget placed on his jacket to stop the line falling in the water. Highly effective!
Yet again, I am highly in awe of Kasper's photographs. Apart from being slightly jealous of his gift to capture the picture, the whole picture and nothing but the picture, so help me god, the article was a great read and made me knock off a few rather gawdy but juicy pike flies...

Great article. Wish I'd read it before I selected and cut my floating head.

I found this site while looking at different fly rods. Really enjoyed the reviews and unbiased commentary. Could you possibly supply me with a website address for Harvest Fly Rods?

Thanks

GREAT!

Hi Martin,

I love this new medium. Togehter with the pictures it is as if I am back at your beatifull coastline. The sound of the waves, the walking on the rocky beaches, the sound of casting the rod, the ratling of the shootingline-shootinghead connection throught the guides. Just perfect.

Can't wait to return to your lovely country.

I found out this page extremely interesting, both texts and photos were really exhaustive on the argument. really a precious work

Finally, an article that captures why I like to stand in the Danish icy salt throughout the toughest months. It's not all about catching fish but enjoying the whole experience. No matter what the season, there's plenty to see and do and for me...Winter brings dreams of the coming season.
There's something to marvel at after fishing on a chilly winters day all rounded off with a hot shower, good hearty meal and seeing the smile on my sons face as my cheeks and nose tingle with life!

Bob, I'am willing to try Zipcast because it has to be better than the sticky stuff I am currently using. On Tom's e-mail to you he stated that Zipcast uses Teflon inplace of Silicone. On Zipcast webpage it states it uses Silicone in the make up of its product! So what is the story?
Thanks in advance for your responce, KLS

Excellent description, a very enjoyable read even for advanced fly-fishers.

Martin,

Your second podcast was soooo cool. Sitting in the evening in Southern California, listening to your descriptions, brings up memories of my Baltic Sea days!

Keep up the good work, it might not always be perfect, but it is different and makes my time spent on your website worthwhile.

Since you got this far …


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.
