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.

Sulfur spinner patterns
The problem with traditional spinner patterns like this one is that they are not very buoyant. The tendency to sink rather than float is exacerbated when fishing in low light or in the dark. I have spent endless hours fishing this type of pattern in the dark and have learned this the hard way. The good news is that it is not uncommon for trout to feed on submerged spinners. Not very impressed with the "glowing" UV feature.
