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.

Sneaky Pete Variation

The Sneaky Pete is a fantastic fish catcher and works for all the black bass and panfish. This is a bit of a variation on the original cork bug, a bit beefed up but just as good as the original.

Caramel Tiger Dog Nobbler

The Dog Nobbler is among the most effective trout flies in the world, and any fish that eat leeches, worms, insect larvae and slender baitfish will try to kill this fly.

Small Fry, 3

Lepomis auritus, the redbreast sunfish, does not receive the front-page press of its cousins the bluegill, the crappie, and the black bass. This species deserves increased specific attention, though, especially from fly anglers who prefer to fish flowing water, because the redbreast is the stream sunfish.

Foam flies for panfish

I purchased a copy of Skip Morris' book on tying flys for bass and panfish and another of his books on foam flies. His books are excellent and I recommend them above all others for beginning tyers. The pictures and instructions are superb!

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.
