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.

Patterns

Authored by

I tied up last winter a few of the Branchu pattern Martin posted back in January 05.

I finally tried it last weekend in the Quesnel River for Rainbow Trout. I used it on my 6wt rod with a type 6 full sink line, the river is up to 60 ft deep in the area I was fishing. The weather was a little against us with the barometer going up and down all day, but we did hit quite a few smaller rainbows up to the 14 inch range. The Branchu was the pattern I had the most success with that day. I knew this would be a good river pattern, but I was surprised just how well the rainbows took it. Thanx for the pattern Martin!!!!
