Herdís

No comments yet

Here we will be tying the fly Herdís. The fly is designed by my mentor and lifetime teacher in fly fishing and fly tying, Jón Sigurðsson. The fly a great option for both stream and lake fishing and it catches both brown trout and arctic char. Simple to tie and totally worth to keep few in your box when go fishing. I use the fly anytime I go out fishing and I never go fishing without the fly. The funny thing is that not lot of people know the flies that Jón designed so it's a good reason to tie all of them and share them with you to honour his memory. Jón was a mastermind when it comes to design flies and there are some of his flies to be found in Icelandic books about the meditating sport of fly tying.

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.
