I love fly tying and found your excellent site quite by accident. I used to get out fishing a lot thanks to the generosity of forum members from a forum I've fallen afoul of-not by my actions, but by the fact one of the members of the group I once belonged to suddenly decided he didn't like me (unfortunately he is bipolar) and spread malicious lies to besmudge my reputation so now I no longer belong to the group and I avoid that forum. It doesn't put me off tying flies and as I,m retired it gives me an activity to help spend my time. My wife got me a Samsung smart phone for Christmas and the pics it takes are excellent so would love to post on here if possible as I've tied about 12,000 flies since 2007 and adding more all the time.

Bobs Garage

There is a story behind "The Garage". Not too long ago my wife and I were renting a two story house that had a tiny little room upstairs with no closet. Since we already had a spare bedroom for family visitors, this room was quickly claimed as the "Sports Room".

The Flies That Trout Prefer

I’m tempted to call this a fly tying book with an attitude ... and I mean that in a good way

Perdigon - Caddis Pupae

Perdigon flies are extremely heavy, boasting a tungsten weighted bead. They are also very smooth being coated by UV resin, so they get down deep in the water, to where the trout are very quickly.

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.
