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.

Easy grasshopper

No comments yet

This easy grasshopper has been one of my go-to topwater flies. It never sinks, pushes water well, and catches a ton of fish. What else could you want in a fly? Recipe: Hook: Mustad 79580 6-14 (used an 8 for this video) Thread: 6/0 or "A" to match foam Body: Tan, green, or brown 1/8" foam Eyes; 1/4" black foam Wing: Fishhair, or similar Marker foam: Yellow 1/8" foam Legs: Bound rubber legs. The ones I use come in a roll. Glue: BOoger glue, thin formula, or CA glue. To give credit, this is where I got the idea, and started tinkering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6CNQ_O74DM

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.
