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.

I have read and re-read the article and watched and re-watched the video (as per the links above), but keep falling short of understanding. I think I have the initial double loop, attaching the hackle, the wings and the thorax...however weaving the abdomen has become an insurmountable issue.
I can't seem to be able to figure how to weave the long antron fibers, nor the knots to hold them in place (are the knots over both lines over tension; over a single one, etc.?).
Anyone out there who has mastered this technique who is willing to share?
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.
