I've enjoyed the information on this site for a few years now and have had many of the wallpapers up on my desktop. I particularly like the international flavor of this site and with the new forum, the sharing of info from all around the world should be great.

Everybody.

Thanks from me, the partners and all the contributors for those heartwarming words!
We too hope that the new forum will make GFF even better.

Again: thanks!

I have been looking for a method to present flies that I tie. I will incorporate your suggestions with what I am already doing. Thank you.

what a great fly! in Australia we call them prawns, (ignore the Paul Hogan "throw another shrimp on the BBQ), and I'm sure that with suitable colour changes, they will work here

Hi,
I've recently registered and begun reading all the interesting information, here. It\'s a great site, and hopefully, the new forum set-up will encourage a lot of use and exchange of ideas.

My best,
Mark

My sincere best wishes with the new forum.
It's also wonderful to be able to edit ones post especially when one maks luads of speging mistaks!

:wink:

An excellent web site indeed.

Recent threads are no longer visible in front page of the GFF site. I’m afraid that the new Forum can go more or less unnoticed though…

Steve, Thanks for sharing your hard work in leader calc. I am an engineer and it seems as if I am going to be plagued with being a detailed oriented person forever. I was inquiring this type of information form the local fly shops and it seems as if some do not appreciate the science behind it."just fish", they say! I understand the rational for stiffer material for butt and taper sections and softer for tippets. However it is unclear to me using your table exactly where the cutoff is. I plan on reading it once more as I may have missed it. But for now I wanted to send my thanks.

Without a doubt, Bob's streamer eyes are the prettiest I have ever seen! Great article and instructions.

I just need a chart or something . Need pictures to compare this size with that size .There must have been some standards at one time. Dont know if a 4/0 is 1 inch long or 1 foot long. Publish a picture chart comparing sizes.

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.
