GFF Newsletter: Discs and cones | Baltic flies for turbulent water



The Global FlyFisher


Simply the Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Jul 20. 2016
 

Summer has come and fishing might be a bit slow in some parts of the northern hemisphere while it's high season in other parts. Summer has traditionally also been a slow period here on the Global FlyFisher, and the number of visitors has always been lower in July and August. The publishing frequency has also gone down, and new articles have been few. Unfortunately this hasn't just been the case in the summer, but the site has been lagging for a while with fairly few new articles compared to earlier.
I hope to increase the frequency during the late summer months and I have a few articles from outside contributors, which I haven't had time to edit and publish, but will give some attention as soon as I get the time.
For now there's a couple of new pieces: the first article in a small series on Baltic sea trout flies for different conditions. This one is about flies for turbulent water. There's also a new article on cones and discs for tube flies in particular. The article tells the history of the cones, and goes through the many types and lists several sources.
Enjoy your summer.

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.
