Watson's Fancy

No comments yet

Here we will be tying the famous Watson's Fancy nymph. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing and catches both brown trout and arctic char. Simple to tie and totally worth to keep few in your box when go fishing. The fly is among the most popular flies in Iceland for trout fishing.

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.
