New and old...

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Patterns

This is a recent hook offering from Gamakatsu that I will be using as the platform for a new crippled/emerger Caddis pattern:

And, these are some materials that I came across while helping my oldest daughter to clean out her storage unit...haven't seen these in 35 years. Ligas morphed into Scintilla back in the early 80's, look at the price ...it is still available through a Mom and Pop operation in Boulder, CO...great stuff, Scott Sanchez uses #46 Peacockle for his Glass House Caddis...any of you other gray beards remember this stuff?

PT,

Let's see the result once you are done. I have a whole lot of Scintilla still lying around from back when, and it's great dubbing!

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.
