That is one very nice looking streamer. I really like the way you tapered the body and the head is perfect in my opinion... whatever that is worth.

Hi Martin,

Hi Martin,

That is one nice looking fly, anything with seals fur in it is pretty well a sure thing. It looks like it would be a good fly for brookies over here on my side of the pond.

Fly Box

Thank you for the information Martin. I\'m a big fan of C&F Design fly boxes and looking forward to see Scierra\'s models as well.

For sea trout

The fly was designed for sea trout and actually caught its first two trout this weekend. It is in essence a Juletræ (Christmas Tree) with a wing made from a zonker strip from seal. Looks great in the water.

And yes, the box is a Scierra box, which indeed is very similar to the C&F Design ones. Nice boxes, actually.

Neat pattern, what fish did

Sea trout, I guess! 8) In general you'll catch every predator on this fly. It reminds me of the "juletræ" - which I even use to catch pike.

Nice fish, nice tatoos!

Paul,

Nice fish and great artwork! ;-)

I've enjoyed the information

I've enjoyed the information on this site for a few years now and have had many of the wallpapers up on my desktop. I particularly like the international flavor of this site and with the new forum, the sharing of info from all around the world should be great.

THANKS!

Everybody.

Thanks from me, the partners and all the contributors for those heartwarming words!
We too hope that the new forum will make GFF even better.

Again: thanks!

Martin

I have been looking

I have been looking for a method to present flies that I tie. I will incorporate your suggestions with what I am already doing. Thank you.

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.
