Coch Y Bonddu Beetle

No comments yet

Here's a nice little coch y bonddu dry that will catch fish wherever chafer or other beetles are found. It floats low offering a realistic footprint along with the added movement of the rubber legs. It's a must for still waters and rivers alike!

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.
