Dry flies

CDC

This is a pattern that can be tied in a number of different colors and used in a bunch of different situations. I fish it as an emerger, a cripple and a dry fly depending on part of the hatch I am trying to match. This really is a all in one may fly imitation that every angler should have in their box.

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.
