I only wish that this information technology was available when I started fly fishing 50 years ago. Books, fly fishing, fly tying gear & materials were just not available in Australia back then. Was introduced to GFF by a search for "furled Leaders" & come back every week for a look.
Congratulations & keep up the good work.

I'm from the UK and mainly tie flies but do a little fishing when I get the time. Raskes streamer page started my interest in Carrie Stevens patterns, and advice from him helped me along. There is a massive amount of information regarding patterns etc on here. Only wish I had more time to explore. So many thanks to all for the information and the work you all put into the site. Congratulations on your 10th and may it continue for many moons to come.
Tight lines to all and happy tying

Your brush eye's are a good idea, I'll make some up to use on my crawdad pattern. Thanks for the tip. Walt
Congratulations on 10 years.
I am a fly fisher from central Pennsylvania USA. I have used numerous fly patterns you have posted including the copper john for trout and the zuddler for Erie steelhead. I also have used your yarn strike indicator, what a great pattern!. But most of all I have used your leadercalc. I found your site when I was first learning to tie my own leaders. Your article on leaders and the excel program were absolutley tremendous help. I loved the article on Susquehanna small smouth fishing. the Juniata river is only about an hour's drive for me so I do alot of fishing down there. The Juniata eventually joins the Susquehanna so the fishing is virtually idententical.
So a big thank you from someone who has benefited greatly from your site and appreciates your efforts.

Hello... Thanks for the directions and the recipe. I am new to flytieing. This is the first directions and recipe I have copied. I have a widowed aunt that has a hearing problem and she and I will be learning together. These written directions will be so helpful. Thanks again, from Charlie and aunt Betty.
Thanks for taking the time to prepare this web site. A very enjoyable read. Do you know of anybody building planing forms in the uk?
many thanks

If you cant get your hands on a small panfish popper, you can buy thick foam from an arts and crafts store and simply bong them together with superglue to make your own array of colorful custom poppers
I have found that this pattern works well for speckled trout and even small redfish
So easy even I could tie it. Thankyou
I love this website! I am a 13 yrold who loves fly tying and fly fishing and this is the best website i have ever found to suit my needs
I have always liked the Kaufmann books. I come in their store now and then. Good review!
… 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.
