Pearly Bibio Emerger

No comments yet

The best flies are often the simplest, and this simple little emerger really proves it. It can be tied in a range of sizes and will generally outfish more busy options. It can be fished dry, wet or as a nymph any time midge and buzzers are around . It's absolutely deadly.

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.
