The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

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 form 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. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Patterns

Hello everyone, I'm a newcomer on Global Flyfisher and I would like to introduce myself.
Passionate sport fisherman for more than 30 years, I like to look for all kind of fish species, as long as it is caught with a fly rod.
My favorite fish is the sea bass that I look for in France, in Europe and everywhere it is possible to catch it.
Four years ago I started writing a book (in all modesty) on European sea bass fishing, available in French since December 2021 under the title "Le Bar à La Mouche", in English under the title "Sea Bass On the Fly" available for sale since December 2022 on all online sales platforms.
All the funds raised by the sale of the book are entirely donated to an association for the protection of aquatic environments which participates in the protection of migratory fish such as salmon, shad, eel, sea lamprey and the common sea bass of Europe.
To tell you a little about the book, there are many technical sheets and advice to approach fly fishing for sea bass. Friends and personalities recognized in the world of fly fishing in Europe did me the honor to participate in this project: Franck Ripault, Colin Macleod, Philippe Dolivet, Vito Rubino and Laurent Kieff. The photographs and drawings were provided by the artist Romain Dieul. All of them brought a philosophical and artistic touch.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to reading you through your writings on Global FlyFisher.

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.
