$Reels of all orientations - Here\'s a bunch of rods and reels ready to fish. Notice how the middle reel has the handle opposite the two others. It\'s fished by a left hand caster.$

$Shifting - Here I\'m shifting over the rod to the left hand for the purpose of taking a picture. I usually always cast and fight with the right hand and retrieve and spool with the left$

$Two hand, but still right handed - When casting a switch or underhand cast with the current running to your left, it\'s the easiest to use the right hand as the guiding (top) hand on a two hand rod$

Two hand, but still right handed

$Fishing two handed - You still have a leading hand on the two hand rod, and for right hand casters it\'s usually the right hand that holds the rod and the left that retrieves line and spools$

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.
