Gone fishin'
I will be off fishing for the next week. GFF will trot on, but don't expect immediate reactions to comments and emails.
Squirrel Zonker
This is an update to one of the first patterns ever featured on the Global FlyFisher. The old article about this fly is from 1996, and has been on the site with its scanned B/W pictures ever since.
It was about time for an update

Zonker tying
Zonkers are great looking flies with a lot of volume and motion, and the zonker style lends itself well to many types of small fish and worm imitations.
Read about zonker flies and zonker strips here.
Thanks To You!
The Kickstarter fundraising campaign for the Fish On project is done and Travis Swartz can now move forward in the process of producing the film about men fly-fishing as a part of the process recovering from cancer.
Read Travis' latest entry here
The Ronker
Rubber legs and a zonker... in orange. The Ronker is a fly for deep dwelling trout, featuring some weight bright colors, mobile materials and not least rubber legs.
See the pattern here
