CATE'S TURKEY! Yikes! I LOVED that fly on Davis Lake in Oregon, where it got invented. SO good, SO sparse. A good mayfly nymph, yes, also a good general small nymph for everything else. I loved it for a midge nymph.
Now I live in NZ where it is not known. I haven't used it here. Now why is that??? I'm going to dig them right out and start using them here!!

Since you got this far …


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.
