A neat box - not mine!

Few flyboxes are as well organized as this one

Mike,

If you're talking the right side seen from the owner's (Jens) view and the side closest to the viewer, they are several but very similar patterns. The gray one is Magnus and the tan one is The Slaughter (Slagteren in Danish). Both are very similar - basically a dubbed body with a body hackle. Magnus uses a couple of hackle tips as a tail and The Slaughter uses a few straws of flash. I can't recognize the olive fly, but I can inquire.

Hi What do you call the fly on the right side of the fly box? I am alway looking for new flys to try on Michigan Steelhead. What materials do you use for this fly.

Amazing - I dont think I ever managed to tie more than two identical flies in one session.......

Since you got this far …


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.
