Hi there

Easy Cast Pike Fly

There are opposing forces at play when fishing for pike with a fly rod.

Here we will be tying the fly Sigga Svört. That would be translated as Siggi's Black, but the pattern is named after Jóns nephew Sigurður H. Rúnarsson.

Foam Ant

Here we will be tying a Foam Ant by myself. Many people have tied the same or similar pattern. The Foam Ant is a great option for fishing in both streams, rivers and lakes.

I like rubber legs on dry flies. Their suggestion of something edible is the fish equivalent of ringing a dinner gong.

Probably one of the heaviest small nymphs you can fish. With two tungsten beads, this will sink to where the fish are instantly. Great for fast moving water or deep pools.

Governor wet fly. Recipe from Bergman’s Trout. The fly is very old and comes to the US from England.

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.
