Notes: The inspiration for the streamer comes from a salmon fly Loretta designed in 2011 to honour the memory of her mother Anna. It is a Fall pattern which includes Anna's favorite colors purple and orange. Loretta's mother had always been interested in knowing if the fish she had caught had been released. The original salmon fly featured a golden pheasant tippet in the wing with a light purple collar. It has a Golden Phesant Tippet for the wing and a light purple collar. Loretta mixes in some pearl krystal flash with the wing. She opted for white bucktail on the streamer inplace ofthe flash as she felt it more appropriate and changed out the purple collar for a shoulder using peacock breast feathers. A beautiful tribute for a mother.

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.
