Click on the CC button in the vimeo timeline to see the subtitles. Phil had predicted a storm and all we hoped was that he wasn’t wrong. After losing five salmons in a single day, we had a chance of redemption on the next day. The Falls, take two. So after a night of turning over in our beds we climbed in the van with small eyes and great ambitions. We came down the stairs, the water had lowered so much that a new step had appeared. The river was still dark but we had stopped trying to see the salmons. We knew where they were, now we had to get them to react. Phil won the first drop privilege and took place at the beginning of the pool, he made a first cast, then a second. Then we saw he wasn’t wrong. Music: https://soundcloud.com/thieving-irons/poison-1

Phil avait prédit la tempête et on espérait qu’il ne soit pas dans le champs. Après avoir manqué cinq saumons dans une journée, on avait une chance de rédemption dès le lendemain matin. Les Falls, prise deux. Ça fait qu’après une nuit à virailler dans notre lit on a monté dans la van avec des petits yeux et des grosses ambitions. On a descendu les marches, y’en avait une de plus que la veille tellement l’eau avait baissé. La rivière était encore foncée, mais ça faisait un bout qu’on n’essayait plus vraiment de voir les saumons. On savait où ils étaient, restait à les faire réagir. Phil a gagné le droit à la première passe, il a pris place dans le haut de la fosse et a fait un premier lancer puis, un second. C’est pas mal là qu’on a su qu’il n’était pas dans le champs.

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.
