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.

Thanks Dan.
The orange bucktail is in there, but it's very sparse and hard to see. The body is a braid material, and having a closer look, I don't think it's the Axxel Flash, but something similar. I'll check with Alan and update. Thanks for reading!
