Teal, Blue, and Silver

A classic river wet fly from the UK.

One of my all time favorite wet flies. A fantastic combination of colors, a classic shape and outline, fish attracting ingredients, and above all a couple centuries of proven worth.

A hackle from a "salmon hen neck" provides the collar on this fly, providing both color and excellent mobility.

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.
