Cracked, broken and rusty

This is a detail shot of the inner soles and the steel reinforcement that were in my Chotas. As it is obvious they didn't take the abuse that wading boots have to endure.

The inner soles were glued to the inside of the boot, but came loose during my first season.

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
