The box

Not many garfish flies in here, but they will try to take anything you throw at them anyway.

Kobberbassen - Kobberbassen - kobberbassen. Tyed on a small hook. Thats the perfekt garfish fly. They dont strike that hard when you fish with a kobberbassen. If you want a harder strike, it's my expirience that fish immitations like Magnus/frede flies makes that garfish strike harder. BUT the fish ruins the fly pretty fast. So i tend to use kobberbassen, its fast to tie.
I still find it odd you use Redtag on the coast, I'll have to try at some point :-)
Thanks for some great articles!

Since you got this far …


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.
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.
