Grayling flies

Tying a simple and effective grayling fly. Pink organza, pink and olive dubbing and an opal glass jig-off bead make a great combination for autumn and winter grayling fishing.

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.
