Global indeed. and an open community.
When I was in college, last century, I fished a midland stream in Germany with a friend and we bumped into another guy waving the long stick. He shared which pattern he was catching on and where he took a couple of grayling. Quite nromal behaviour among FFishers which we take for granted. Then after we parted, my friend (bait and spin fisherman) asked whether I knew the other flyfisherman. At that moment it dawned to me that those tying feathers and hairs around hooks are not quite as secretive as other fishermen. I had similar experineces fishing in my and other countries.
I don't think that makes us better or worse, it is just that I prefer dealing that way.

where to buy flat-wing feathers ? No one in the Northwest has them nor can they buy them from Whiting

Excellent pattern Martin.

P.S. I'm fairly sure craneflies are an aquatic insect, not terrestrial.

and it's "GLOBAL"...
and Martin hasn't given me any "time outs" or issued any "red cards"...
I'm still trying to get my arms around the notion that what I post from my laptop finds Donald's computer... Go Phigure?!

I have not done any saltwater fly fishing yet, but it seems to me that this cleaning as described in the article, should be done on all reels.......

ALAN WHERE DO YOU GET THE HACKLE FOR THE WINGS ON YOUR STREAMERS THEY REALLY LOOK GREAT

Hi all, has anyone of you experience with the chinese silk chickens. All their feathers look like those of an Austrich. just smaller.
This race exist as a medium and midget size. I am just thinking of keeping white and brown one in my garden plus a large brown one of a large race. By the way - in every village there is a club for poultry keepers. A beer or 2 and you will have some scalps.

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.
