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.

...two horizontal criss-cross wraps underneath, from front to back hold the hackle fibers in place long enough to apply some glue. ZapAGap in this case. But it could have been almost anything. Water based fabric cement. UV glue or even head cement. Zelon is (by far) the easiest hackle material to work with, but hare's ear, hare's foot, fox mask or even ground squirrel (picket pin) can be made to work.

......hmmm. Not sure why the BBCode images don't show up. Do I have to make them attachments? Ah but now the attached images are ugly and corrupted somehow. Others use images without problem. What I do wrong? Set me on the straight and narrow....

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.
