Swimming Caddis

No comments yet

Our old friend John Petermann who is a very skilled flyfisher, certified flycaster and finally but not at least he is a very creative flytyer tying some excellent flies for all kind of fish he is targeting. He is fishing worldwide for GT, permit, tarpon, bonefish, salmon and steelhead - but trout fishing is deep in his heart. In this video he is showing his skills tying a Swimming Caddis, lean back and be inspired. Happy tying and thanks to John for showing one of his secret weapons from the box.

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.
