Boy! Them fish got muddy balls. And if you don't watch your stuff in that watermaster you gonna have bloody balls! Hahahaha.... Hope you caught a big one up there today.

This is very saddening news. I, like Darren, didn't know David all that long but felt like I'd known him forever. That's the kind of person he was. Very friendly and kind. I don't think you'd find anyone who liked to talk flies & fishing anymore then he did. I will miss him and am glad to have known him even if it was for a short time.

David's love for fly tying, and fishing was infectious. His last years made it impossible to fish, but he still loved to tye. He was such an encouragement to fellow tyers. His work was outstanding. He will be greatly missed. I was proud to have Dave for a friend. What a great guy!! He will be sorely missed. Thanks to this project though, his flies will be around for a very long time. Thank you Darren for sharing them with us.

Do you know the Veevus thread names; for example, what colors are A05 A08, A12?
What are the other 10 available colors, and what are they called?
Thank you,

It is sad to hear that visitors/flyfishers have been stood up to be taken fishing,I have never heard of this ever before and it does hurt to hear guides island local born or transplants.Thats showing our visitors tourist,fishers that there is guides out there that have NO aloha from there hearts and thru there veins.Bra if you can't make it try to call your client and set up another guide at your expense or what ever it takes to keep your client happy and willing to come back.If you don't know how to be a good guide then you should not advertise to be one.In hawaii you're concidered a pilau one and other fisherman will start to see this and have NO respect for any of you so called guides.I remember my grandma always said "harvest from the ocean only what you need"same goes for clients in my eye don't get a client all excited only to have you not show if you can't handle the over flow,over booking ,or if it's to nice to be taking a client out cause the water is malia and you want to go to your hot spot let 'em know. Show our visitors Hawaii still have that ALOHA that was there from long ago.Your're prob asking yourself why does this guy care well I don't live there BUT I was born and raised there lived there for 20 years before I left the islands.Why did I leave I loved working on airplanes as much as I love fishing and hunting Imoved to Oahu and worked for the airlines after awhile it was to crowded for me coming from the island of Molokai so I joined the airforce and travelled and fished alot of places some half way around the world.Now I live in Alaska and fish alot I do try to help people here when they ask about fishing guides in hawaii now I know sort of who's the good and bad which is sad.Try to change this whether your a guide born and raised there or a so called haole brown white black we all the same show aloha or maybe move where somewhere you don't have to give aloha.

Great site! Just some constructive feedback, there should be a search function exclusively for videos. There's way too much content to use the regular search effectively!.

Hi there,
I am a flyfisher from the Eifel Region and I love CDC flies as well. Consequently I bought the book by Leon Links 'Tying Flies with CDC' a couple of years ago. There is actually a chapter on the history of CDC flies and Maximilien Joset is mentioned indeed. I would definitely enjoy to learn mor about the history though.

Used it today to catch a pig cutbow on a spring creek in Idaho. I like to swing it so I use brassie size wire instead of the stretch magic. Works really well.

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.
