fly fishing snaps

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 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.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

I recently purchased a package of fly fishing snaps. That is the only way I know how to describe them. They are tiny hooks that you tie onto the end of your leader and they make changing flies a breeze. Or maybe a snap? Any way, I got them in a Cabellas or Bass Pro Shop. They work great on a 9 weight for changing big flies quickly. I do not have the original package and have no idea what they are called or where to buy more of them. They came in several sizes and I bought the second largest size. They wouldn't probably be good for dry flies or small nymphs, but with bigger stuff they work well. Do any of you fine fishers know what they are called or where I can order more. I am not close to the place where I got them. I'm not even sure where it was. I checked the online catalogues of both stores and could not find them.

Thanks

Since you got this far …

… 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.
