Midsummer Caddis

Jun 18. 2020
A great little caddis pattern that has a few nice techniques. The super buoyant combination of CDC and deer hair make this pattern almost un-sinkable.

MP 33 Mayfly Nymph

A Marc Petitjean pattern, with many different CDC techniques. Its the proportions that you have to balance with this pattern, tail length, short abdomen, long thorax & long slender head.

RS 2

Apr 30. 2020
The RS 2 or Ray's Semblance 2 is, in my humble opinion, one of the best fishing flies ever designed. If you haven't fished with the RS 2, you don't know what you have been missing.

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.
