Back in 2002 I was visiting GFF partner Steve Schweitzer in Colorado. The story has been told before in this article. We fished a lot of different waters and caught quite a few fish during our stay, but I want to pick out one certain trip and fish from that journey.

The river Byske runs in the northern part of Sweden in a thick forest landscape. It is definitely one of the best salmon rivers in Sweden and the size and profile of the river is ideal for fly fishing.

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.

Ultimate is a strong word, and when it comes to fishing adventures having on hundred that all are ultimate might seem overstating it a bit, even though these one hundred places certainly rank up there and are almost certain to include a place or two on every angler's places-I-want-to-go list.

The author, Henry Gibley, is an angler and photographer who has been fishing and shooting his way around the world, making a living from images, articles, commercial texts, TV shows and the sort of products that a professional angler/author can make money from.

I have never been really fond of Chris Santella's book "Fifty places to Fly Fish Before You Die", which I bought several years ago. When I saw the second volume announced, I thought I'd get that anyway and make a review of both. Kind of "A Hundred Places to Flyfish Before You Die".

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. The team behind the video is Danish, and it was quite natural to grab a hold of them and get them to talk a bit about the background for the whole project.

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.
They move things, do things differently and definitely break with the norms.
AEG had the advantage of being the first to do so (on released DVDs at least). The Danish guys behind A Backyard in Nowhere are not copycats, but have their very own take on telling us the story of a fantastic experience, hunting for trophy pike on the river Innoko in Alaska.

This book is one of the best fly-fishing books I have read in a long time. One of the best books, period. And even though I do write fly-fishing books and the title contains the word fly-fishing, it can hardly be called a fly-fishing book in the traditional sense. There is fly-fishing in it and the author James Prosek is well known in the fly-fishing community, but this book reaches far beyond fly-fishing. It reaches beyond fishing as a whole and into friendship, romance, traveling and much else.
To the die hard fly angler this might sound like a turn-off, but trust me, it isn't.

"Yous fellas fishin'?" a Maori guy asked on the shore of Lake Otomangakau. I said we were having a look. "Plenty a fish here, bro. Big bastards, too. But bloody hard to catch, ay."

This DVD has definitely stimulated my urge to go fishing in Alaska sometime in my life.

Some fly anglers are crazy, and some are normal. Most fall somewhere in between.
Meet Dave and Bobbi, who are a really normal couple, husband and wife, down-to-earth people and with a seemingly normal relationship... and at the same time just as crazy as the rest of us... and then some! Just as we like it!

Wrong!
Read this article and learn how to find the best and richest fishing locations. They nearby, easy to access and so full of fish 

Another book from the hands of a GFF partner. This time on fly fishing one of the most beautiful places in the US west: Rocky Mountain National Park. It's written by GFF partner Steve Schweitzer who has hiked, fished and photographed extensively in the park during the last decade

A fishing film in the form of a classic documentary - and a good one of the kind. A close to perfect mix of environmental consciousness and fishing action, but all too short.

The opening scenes of River Wolf - after the titles - are no less than breathtaking. And by that I mean breathtaking in the literal sense of the word. During the team's hectic trip through Beijing - from the airport to the train station - you are gasping for breath and hoping for the best.

When you speak to old timers about fishing for tigerfish on the Zambezi River they will tell you of driving along dirt roads, cutting a path through the forest to get access to the river. Lions still running wild, and while they fished elephants chased anglers away from the bank. This is not how it is today.

The first words spoken on this DVD are: "Every so often in life comes a person that is one step above the rest...", and it continues talking about Mel Krieger - who is the person in question as "Not just any mortal...".

Some books just have it all: great images, well written text, large format, beautiful typography and all the nice graphic details. But very few have gold print.

This one has! And it deserves it.

During a recent stay in London, I (of course) had to visit Farlow's in Pall Mall - a large and very well assorted outdoors, hunting and fishing shop. The shop is worth a visit for anyone that's in the area.

They had a sale going on, and had a few tables piled up with different offers.

One item immediately struck my retina. All I could see was that it was a large format book - very large, actually - and the name Flip Pallot was visible on the top of the dust cover. Upon closer inspection it had a sign on it that said "Martin, buy me". Or rather: "Was: £40.95, now: £20.50".

The book is not huge by any standards, but the eighty-some pages is enough to get you around and aroused.

GFF partner Martin Joergensen recently returned from a trip to British Columbia. Although he has promised to write up some text about the trip, his pictures are just too pretty to stash away for much longer.

Seeing this footage of large trout in deep streams rising to nymphs - naturals and artificials - really stirs my appetite to go to New Zealand

”I hate to ask you, but do you want to go salmon fishing for a week?” The voice of GFF partner Partin Joergensen's friend Ole sounded sincere enough and Martin went with him to Norway to fish for small salmon. But the outcome turned out to be a lot larger than standard grilse.

Fishing for huge Atlantic salmon in the Swedish river Mörrum is an experience that makes you urge for more. GFF partner Martin Joergensen went there for four days in June 2001 and cannot wait to return.

"Them Department of Evironment bears don't eat no cows!" was the curt answer of Dave, our outfitter, to my question on the wisdom of cattle grazing 7500 feet up in Wyoming's Beartooth Mountains. Read Eric Arbogast and Jean-Marc Klees' fascinating story about Trouting the Cowboy Way.
