How much did the guides charge per day? Web site?
We are most likely going to Cancun on the 27/11 and we will bring the rods.

full of lies and faults. There has not been a cod in these waters for years.
The seatrouts are smaller than small.

Is there a specific type of Epoxy you prefer to use for this fly? Also, what did you use to make the rings around the body of the the shrimp? I live in southern Texas on the gulf, and want to try to tie this fly before January gets here. When the cold fronts arrive, the local electric company discharge will have lots of Huge 24 to 27 inch Specks held up in the warm water, this happens usually from Jan to March.

Interesting to note the times for emergence and spinner fall. Here in Northern Michigan, the emergence normally comes at around 11:00 (sometines earlier on the Manistee), and the mating flights generally around 10:00. Weather will have it's effect, of course. We also get numerous day-time emergences. Great nymph fishing then.

Excellent Page. I have this book, and I believe Poaul Jorgesen passed away before he could complete his "Wet Flies of the New Millenium" is that correct? If not where can I get a copy of that book? Thank you, Dave

Hi my name Euan and i am a beginner at fly tying but really enjoy tying a fly then going and catching a fish with it,the reason for this comment is that i bought a dvd by Oliver Edwards and in it he uses a certain type of tying vice i could not find out what type or make of vice he uses till now.After a long search i found that the vice he uses is the Law Vice the one advertised on the virtual-nymph web site but alas i cannot find any info on where to find or purchase the vice.I have written an e-mail to the company but as yet i have had no response.PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH DETAILS OF THE VICE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS Ueshaw@aol.com.

RE: Roadkill Warrior

30 seconds in a Microwave on high WILL end the problem of critters living in the fur WITHOUT damage.

I found the pages very exciting indeed I have an Olympus Digital camera model C- 5060, but never very excited about the pictures of my flies any comments please I also have a little Casio EX Z 55

Hava,

Something better to do... meaning...?
Something aside from doing The Global FlyFisher or articles on salmon fly anatomy?

How about fishing? ;-)
We do that a lot!

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.
