HISTORY: This old trolling fly shows the slim baitfish profile which made her flies famous, and distinct. This is also tied on a 12XL Allcock hook,the same hook that the "Greyhound" is dressed on in Joseph Bates' streamer book. Not a common hook. Circa late 1920's

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.
