There - out of our element

DIY fishing is not for the faint at heart, especially when you are out of your element. We travelled for 3 days and took 4 flights to get to our final destination in Central America.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
