Big Brown

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

Hi Guys, i caught a 4kg 71cm Brown in the Tongariro River last weekend.
The fishery managers are asking that all browns be kept and a sample of the liver and some flesh be donated to them for research. This is a primarily Rainbow fishery and the Department of Conservation think that the browns predation of Rainbow fry is getting to the point where the Rainbow fishery is suffering.
Anyway here are a couple of pics.
Me with the fish

some scenery for you.

And finaly one in the water, too spooky for me to fool!

All the best.

MIke,

Those are some nice fish! Great to see some pictures from that famed river. Thanks for sharing.

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.
