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. Yours Hopefully Euan.

RE: Roadkill Warrior
30 seconds in a Microwave on high WILL end the problem of critters living in the fur WITHOUT damage.
Much appreciate everything you do, makes fly tie preparing almost as much fun as fly tying.
And how much more I learn.
Many thanks.
Martin i kown the problem and if you ever find the perfect jacket pls. tell me
Hi Darryl,
What a great shot. Try sending it to this place (http://www.flyfish.com/about/photo_contest/) and I think you will have a great chance winning a nice price.
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!
Martin
Very, nice, i got much needed infomation, but really, you guys need somthing better to do. Dont you think?
Very cool!!!!!
Love your calculator, but alas it doesn't give me the answer to a problem I have.
Just purchased a Maxima Ultragreen Leader tying kit and discovered that 7 of the spools contain info in inches /mm/kg/lb and N. The other 5 only have N, lb and kg. Itseems Ineed to find out what the thicknesses are on these 5 in inches? Or is there a way to tie them using N or kg or lb? Does N stand for Newton?
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
