Bonefish flies

The Crazy Charlie is originally a fly for targeting bonefish - developed on Andros Island in 1977 in the Bahamas by local bonefish guide Charlie Smith and popularized by San Francisco angler Bob Nauheim. It is a must fly to have in the box when fishing the tropics, but it quickly turned out to be a brilliant pattern for fishing all over the world in both salt- and freshwater. In this video we have danish flyfisher and tyer Morten “Coastfly” Hansen behind the vice demonstrating his modern version of the all-time-classic.

Canvas Crab

As everyone knows crab-like means moving sideways, not forwards or backwards. The Canvas Crab fly moves sideways as crab flies should.

The GFF money box

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.
