Your article on "yellow fever" and the way its written is a credit to you! It inspires me to start walking some of our rivers that have the species in them....wish we had the largemouth, but that's made up for by the other labeo family. We have tigerfish a-plenty, but I'm sick of them, not that I've caught hundreds on fly tackle, but I want the challenge of species I have not had much success with even on bait....the yellow is one of them. Our Middle Zambezi River is loaded with big purple labeo, and I have tried all means of tempting them with bait..without success. Perhaps with my change from conventional tackle to the fly rod, things will change.

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.
