Guide Patrick McIntyre ties one of his Pyramid lake flies "Patrick's Green Head Beetle". This fly has proven to catch the biggest of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. The Green Head Beetle has a larger profile than any beetle on the market. Extra floatation with a sexy plus size profile make it incredibly attractive from a distance. This realistic subsurface terrestrial creates an irresistibly delicious looking meal that encourages rude and impatient table manners.

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

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.
