The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

WD 40

1 comments

The WD-40 Is a very proven pattern for fishing streams and rivers for trout. It can be used as a BWO Baetis emerger or even a very effective searching pattern. The trout seem to not be able to say no to this fly! Its one of those patterns that just works, and is fairly easy to tie. You only need mallard flank feather, thread, and some type of fine dubbing.

Hook: Umpqua U202 size 18 (but you can use any curved hook in a wide range of sizes).

Wing/Tail: Mallard Flank

Casing: Super Dry Dubbing

Thread: 8/0 brown/olive thread (commonly tied olive, black, brown, and gray)

In the Eastern part of the U.S I fish only 22-24 and find that big fish are easily temped with smaller sizes flies. Good hook ups come fairly easy with small flies and provide great sport on light rods 2-3 #. The small hooks ,I find do not seem to require a wing case which really make the fly very easy to tie.

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.
