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

Dry fly
Easy

  1. Cut some poly yarn into 1 cm pieces.

  2. Cover the hook shank with thread. Go a little bit down the hook bend.

  3. Make the thread come back again, so it hangs app. over the hook point.

  4. Dub the thread with the prepared poly yarn.

  5. Wind the dubbed thread to a little bit down the hook bend and back again, ending about an eye width from the eye. This should make the fly a bit more volumnious to the rear.

  6. Tie in poly yarn as the wing on one side of the hook.

  7. Bend the poly yarn over to the other side of the hook.

  8. Secure the wings

  9. Dub the wing base with poly yarn and form a nice head.

  10. Tease and trim the body to form "legs" and trim the wings.

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.
