Just saying Hi

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.

Hi all,

Just recently discovered this site, looking very good! I'm hooked on flyfishing for 2 years now and was looking for a site/forum with a global thought, not just for 1 nation so i think i'm in the right place here 😄
My name is Koos Verhoeven, on the net better known as Ruza 😉 , 28 years old and I live in the Netherlands. Have been a lure fisherman for years mainly chasing pike and perch before i discovered a flyfishing rod. Just recently (may 2007) been on fishing holiday in Norway, with 2 friends and a flyrod cruising Southern Norway, a great experience! After that i was hooked on stream fishing. Due to the fact that we have no possibilities for stream fishing for trout in the Netherlands (in fact we have no wild trout in our country :( ) I've been looking for places to go outside of our national borders and so I've found this site. Hope to learn a lot from all of you and if anyone has questions about trout fishing in Belgium or Germany let me know, I can give you some information.

Cheers,
Ruza

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.
