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

Randon,

While we sure appreciate you comments and ratings to the pictures posted here, please notice that it is the photography we rate - not the fishing ethics.

In the above case I fail to see how the fact that the fly line is loosely draped around the fish' tail can in any way earn this in all ways fine picture a rating of "Not good - This is a bad picture - technically and content wise". It is sharp, well exposed, nicely presented and contains a live fish, which is definitely about to be released. What's the problem with that? My personal rating is a 5 - "A great image in all respects".

Hmm, in the golden spot I can see you just managed to strangulate the fish by its tail. 1 to you, dude!

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.
