Genner Bug

There's absolute nothing original or innovative about this fly. On the contrary: it's super simple and has probably been tied in a gazillion variations before. It was inspired by some nice mallard feathers brought to one of our fly-tying and fishing trips.

Baetis, Blue-Winged Olives, or just BWO. Whatever you call them, its more than likely they're the first mayfly to hatch in your area.

Lady Amherst Spey Fly

A not so traditional spey fly that has really produced for us over the years. A winning combination of Lady Amherst centre tail fibers and heron feathers!

Senyo's Artificial Intelligence

Greg Senyo demonstrates how to tie his pattern the Artificial Intelligence. The fly employs flash to create movement and a long profile.

Black Woolly Bugger (w/variations)

Sometimes, the quote "back-to-basics" is appropriate, and there is no better fly to remind us of that than the Woolly Bugger.

No Hackle Olive Emerger

When the trout are super selective try a No-hackle dry, or emerger.

Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

The Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymph is a very effective fly. So too is the dry version. Tying it parachute style can give the impression of either a floating nymph or a dry.

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.
