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.

Barred and Black

This pattern and others can be found in Lefty Kreh's Saltwater Fly Patterns Amazon https://amzn.to/3EUOgZy

Inspired by Dan Blanton's Whistler, Ed Givens designed the Barred & Black for striped bass but it has since proven its worth all over the world for everything from musky to murray cod. I think it really should be thought of more as a colour option than a pattern in its own right, it lends itself well to whistler, thing and river pig platforms.

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.
