I'm waiting for this book: it's ordered from the UK and I'm an Aussie. I'm interested in using foam posts and foam under a nymph's thorax = more chances to float in highland lakes in windy conditions. this book should be a help!

Milan,

I'm glad you got the book and like it.

For fishing in the autumn I would go for the smaller and less "meaty" flies. I will be fishing in September too, and my box will most likely be stuffed with patterns like Magnus (size 6 or so), Red Tag (size 8, 10 or so), Copper Bully (size 6, 8), Charlie Fly (size 6, 8), Danish Pastry Fly (size 4, 6). I will also bring some brighter flies for days with more wind and murkier water, like Klympen in orange and maybe a Big Hole Demon in red or orange.
I will probably also add some Rolled Muddlers, Pinky Pains and Brendas, which are not in the book.

Apart from that I usually have a bunch of streamers, zonkers and assorted other flies if I feel like trying something different.

Beautiful photos of classic wet flies, along with the recipes using legally available, modern-day feathers. "Trout" by Ray Bergman = best fly fishing literature that I've ever read (and I've read a lot of it). A huge measure of "Thanks!" to Mr. Bergman for permanently morphing my fly fishing "bug" (at age 8) into my permanent fly fishing habit at the age of 12, back in the mid-1960's when I first read "Trout", cover to cover. The Wet Fly Plates in "Trout" are works of art. And for dry flies??? Mr. William Blades had no superior. He was amazing.

Fredrik,

Our regular search function searches all over the site - including in the videos. You will find it in the Site tools menu above all pages, and there's a search box in the left hand column on the front page, which searches instantly - also in the videos.

It might be a little hard to find, but it still gets used every 10-20 seconds, so it isn't completely out of sight.

We used to have a search field on all pages, but the battle for real estate in the top of the pages was lost by the search field. I have considered reinstating it, but haven't done anything about it.

I regularly check the site and love it. But what i miss overall and especially in videos is a Search Function.
If there is one it needs to be more clear.

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.
