Chubby Chernobyl

The chubby chernobyl is one of, if not the easiest visibility dry fly out there. It's just like fishing with an indicator that has a hook.

Amy's Ant

The Amy’s Ant is a high floating, high visibility foam dry fly that works very well. I find it to be one of the prettier of the foam flies.

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.
