Mullet Bach

The mullet bach is a diawl bach inspired pattern that works well for estuary mullet, bass and bream. It can be dead drifted or retrieved in areas where schools are feeding.

Dark Olive Goby

I was inspired by the tan goby for this pattern. I went online and bought a lot more of different colored crystal and trilobal hackle fibers.

The GFF money box

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
