How to dress the Galdralöpp fly, which is an Icelandic bibio hopper pattern for big, wild brown trout in their rivers. A fantastic fly, especially as a searching pattern - it will bring up the opportunistic feeder. Designed by Jon Adalsteinn, but this is the variant by a guide named Asgeir. Fly dressed by Steffan Jones of www.fishing-wales.com

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.
