Craft Fur Anchovy

No comments yet

Anchovies are a key forage for gamefish around the world, and this simple little fly is a great choice for imitating them and other small bait like spearing or whitebait. You can scale them up or reduce the size depending on the size of bait that's around or tie them in different colours to suit your location.

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.
