Kate,

Regarding wading, I'm not setting my hopes too high, but it certainly would be nice to jump a few rocks again!
But for now I'm more in my office chair than in the water, so expect more new stuff on GFF in the coming time.

And whether the new section is exciting or not, might be a question of personal preferences. We'll see.
I'm putting the finishing touches on it now, and I'm expecting to launch it quietly tomorrow and see where it leads. It might become popular, but I'm certainly not expecting anything in the league of our patterns not to mention the videos.

Some things take off like a rocket... some things just don't. But it's fun making new stuff and new functions.

Martin,
So good to read that your medical condition is stable; perhaps a bit of wade fishing is on the horizon. I know that you would rather be fishing, but on the other hand; we GFF readers have been the fortunate recipients of your extended hours spent at the computer keyboard. Thank you very much for beautiful photos, and great flies with clear tying instructions. Aha!
A new and exciting GFF section? Kate

Kelly, I have commented on this fly before and my thoughts are still the same; it is one of the most elegant streamers I have ever seen. David would be honored.

Just a quick note because the next one will be 365. I've followed along and looked at each and every one and I want to thank you for them all. I appreciate the beauty of each one and the talent that it takes to tie them. If you do another Streamers 365, I'll be here right along with each post.

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I feel like David would be very pleased. His love of fly tying was infectious. He was very helpful to me, when I started tying the long streamers. I sure miss him.

NEVER a single moment of regret nor a smidgen of "buyer's remorse"...

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.
