Jingler (LDO Variation)

I was put onto the Jingler by Steve Cullen for early season trout. It can be tied to suit your needs for Large Dark Olives or March Browns.

A simple but effective generic attractor. The transformer is an excellent pattern to fish dry when nothing in particular is happening on the surface.

One of the best little caddis patterns around. With an additional Glo Brite hot spot, when pulled through the surface film, this will bring fish up, just about all year round.

Parachute dry flies are some of the most effective for different reasons. First of all (we are talking dry flies) they float well.

… 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.
