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.

Great streamer.
I love the shoulder, it works so well with the rest of the fly.

Beautiful tie, Darren. To this day, I'm attached to the Hippie ideals, and music especially.
