More stuff to look at on The Global FlyFisher

Streamers

Section: Our streamers section with New England streamers, Carrie Stevens patterns and flies from the hands and heads of Stewart and Leeman, Ray Bergman, Mike Martinek, Herb Welch and many more. Go to the streamer section here.

Carrie's Challenge

Streamers: I have never used a vise; I have never seen anyone tie a fly and noone has ever seen me tie one. I have never read or had any fly tying instructions. Said by Carrie Stevens in a letter to Jospeh Bates. The words of a trailblazer. How fortunate we are to reap the benefits of a road paved by innovators before us, such as Mrs. Stevens. Go to the story

Atrractor swap

Swap: Undoubtedly, when one thinks of attractor streamer and bucktail patterns, the venerable Mickey Finn comes to mind. More often than not, it's the very first pattern streamer aficionados are introduced to when learning to tie...and rightly so, as it remains a productive pattern in our streamer wallets.

The Ugliest Flies

Martin has just received the ugliest flies he has ever seen in his life. And no, don't worry they weren't from a potential GFF contributor or a well meaning friend, but commercially tied. They just confirmed what he has always said: home tied flies are best.

Nick Laferriere

When Canadian Nick Laferriere is not on the water, he's blogging, tying flies, and drawing fish. Recently he started combining the manual drawings and digital processes to create a new expression.
