Tie some nymphs on scud hooks

Tie some nymphs (PTN, GRHE, etc) on scud hooks and keep the nymphs handy in the fly box. Make sure the tails are around the bend of the scud hooks. When fishing with the nymphs, and you let it swing downstream and the nymphs reach its drift at the end of the swing, hold the nymph still in one spot, the tails at the angle gives the nymphs beautiful motion, with little diving and rising motions. Very enticing for the fish to take a gulp.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

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.
