Hackle

Tying materials

The Real Birdman - The story of Tom Whiting and Withing Farms.
This movie is Outdoorsdirect.dk's contribution to all our customers who would like to know more about Whiting and their birds.
We spent a little week in the company of Tom, his wife and all his staff. We fished the amazing Colorado River with Phil Trim from Whiting.
That led to this documentary. Enjoy.

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.
