Kwan Fly

Here is another tying session video where you join me in me tying some flies for customers. This one happens to be the Kwan fly, which is a great saltwater pattern. I do change it up slightly and add a little, but overall its the same thing. Hope you enjoy!

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.
