Dry flies

Foam

A well know dry fly pattern from Iceland for targeting brown trout. A simple fly to dress with minimal materials. The main feature if the foam back, which looks like a flip flop - hence the name. Fly dressed by Steffan Jones of www.fishing-wales.com

I'm not sure of the origins of this interesting pattern but it looks very fishy as both a Dun and an emerger.

Chubby Chernobyl

The chubby chernobyl is one of, if not the easiest visibility dry fly out there. It's just like fishing with an indicator that has a hook.

This is a dual purpose stonefly pattern tied on a jig hook. It can act both as a dry fly and an indicator

I like rubber legs on dry flies. Their suggestion of something edible is the fish equivalent of ringing a dinner gong.

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.
