Muir Boatman

The Muir Boatman is a pattern I use on lakes and other still waters during the early spring and in the fall when mating occurs. The boatman can be seen and heard smacking into the water and I don't mind when the fly plops into the water. I let the fly fully sink before using a series of quick short strips to retrieve the fly.

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.
