The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

Stillwater for floating lines

Please notice: LeaderCalc hasn't been optimized for small screens. Turning some devices horizontally might make it easier to use, but using a suitably large screen is the best solution.
Category: Stillwater
Extremely long special purpose leader designed by Wayne Stegen for stillwater fishing. Attach a 9' braided intermediate leader to the fly line and tie this leader on to that, making a 27.5' leader! Should you wish to switch over to dry-flies, simply remove the braided leader from the system and extend the tippet section upfront if need be.

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.
