Hopkin's Snook Fly

No comments yet

Hopkin's snook fly is a lovely, simple little bait fish that will put snook and other species in your boat in both fresh and salt water. It's an easy fly, and when you're not talking about tying it, it's a pretty quick tie too.

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.
