Here we will be tying the fly Hólmfríður by Kolbeinn Grímsson. Both the fly and it's author Kolbeinn have become legends in Icelandic fly fishing and fly tying. The fly is named after Hólmfríður at Arnarvatn in the Mývatns region, but she used to be the fishing warden there. Hólmfríður the fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing and the fly catches brown trout and sea trout. The fly is special for the sakes that it has only the naked hook shank as a body. It's simple to tie and totally worth to keep a few in your box when you go fishing.

Long story short

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.
