Grizzly King

No comments yet

The Grizzly King is one of the old classic wet fly patterns. First tied in 1840 by Scottish zoologist James Wilson for troutfishing and proberbly for imitationg the large green drake. Later on the pattern became a popular fly all around the world for trout and salmon. In this video we have had the skilled Swedish flyfisher and flytyer Håkan Karsnäser to tie the classic Grizzly King but with a twist and turning it into a version for salmonfishing.

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.
