Notes: While Michael is well known for his superb interpretations of Carrie Stevens' patterns, he also has a impressive cache of Rangeley streamers he has designed. The GLS Special was designed for fishing Maine's Grand Lake Stream region. The landlocked salmon there are known to feed on yellow perch and so Michael embedded some perchy features in his design in order to imitate the prey. Michael has spent quite a bit of time on the in the area fishing beside his father and mentor Moe Decoteau and dedicates this pattern to him.

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.
