I have been fly fishing and tying flies for 60 years. My journeys included trout, salmon, and saltwater adventures in Canada, Costa Rica, and principally the United States. I have witnessed dramatic changes in the environment, fishery, and fly fishing technology over these 6 decades but still am drawn to flyrod challenges. Proudly my grand children are now students and advocates of the sport.

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
