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.

As a boat builder I rely heavily on models as a first step in any new start-from-scratch project. Tying too. For this one I don't have the finished product yet. Just the model, for a Madison River Montana Mother's Day Caddis. It's interesting to see the short fat jet black body paired with a long skinny cream/tan colored wing. This view doesn't show it well but the wing is substantially taller than it is wide. The bottom profile is almost pencil like, somewhat like a short fat jet black blob underneath a long skinny cream colored paint brush.
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. See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.
