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.

Cigar

No comments yet

The Cigar, Scandinavian surface pattern for sea trout. This is without doubt the most popular pattern for night fishing. When stripped through the surface it has a very attractive profile against the night sky and causes enough disturbance to wake even the sleepiest fish. Fished with short hard pulls with intermittent pauses, its when you start the retrieve again that things go bump in the dark!

Hook: Mustad C52S # 2-6
Tying thread: Dyneema or other GSP
Tail: Black marabou

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.
