This video features the extended version of my video on tying a Purple Rabbit Strip Steelhead Tube Fly. If you are well versed on these flies you won't learn much new regarding tying style but who knows what my rambling dialogue might lead? Thank you for your support over the years. JN

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 was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
