Notes: Blue Fly is a basic descriptor of Barry's magnificent polar bear and silver pheasant crest winged streamer. The fly is one of a series of six streamers that Barry created in order to cover off the baitfish he encounters in his favourite waters. Barry acknowledges the redundancy of having both a jungle cock nail and a painted eye, but was compelled to include both based upon the advise and success of friend who has since passed on. Barry carries a full compliment of the streamers and reserves their use for the tough days when nothing else seems to be be getting any attention.

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.
