Notes: Barry created this pattern in memorial of a dear friend who passed suddenly and much too soon. She and her husband together owned a fishing lodge that Barry spends at least three weeks a year fishing at. Not only does this fly hold special place in Barry's life, but it is also responsible for a number of fish getting to meet Barry in person, making for some memorable days out on the lakes.

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.
