Line indicator for night fishing

If you have trouble deciding when to pick up your WF line for a new cast when night fishing, try sliding a small piece of plastic tubing over the running section to fit tightly up against the back of the belly of the line.

This will give an audible click when it passes through the guides, and you will know how much line is out of the top eye. Most tubes from braided leader kits will do fine, but both tackle shops and electronics suppliers often have suitable, thin plastic tubing in many colors.

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 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.
