Midges

A unique and very productive fly pattern from the vise of Dave Gamet. The 2 rpm midge has taken many big fish from both streams and lakes. Fly Tying videos from Dakota Angler & Outfitter www.flyfishsd.com

The Bling Midge

Bling midges are some of the most elegant yet easy-to-tie flies you'll come across. With their lifelike appearance, they mimic midge pupae or larvae perfectly.

WD40

The WD-40 is one of my favorite flies for fishing rivers and lakes where there is a good population of small baetis and midges.

Zebra Midge and Variations

Midges are small flies that are related to mosquitoes, but do not bite. Like mosquitoes they are aquatic in their larvae and pupae stage, but emerge in their adult stage.

Jan's Emerger

Another new pattern from Jan Grandal-Johansen, this time a buzzer emerger that fishes well on the reservoirs in the UK. Those hackle tip wings are just killer.

Nothing...

Sometimes trout and grayling sip "nothing" from the surface. You have tried the smallest parachute in your fly box - size 18. What they are taking is much smaller. You look again into your fly box, and right - there is no "Nothing" there.

Since you got this far …

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

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.
