Step 3 - split yarn

Tie the end of the yarn back on the tail of the fly thus creating a loop or make a two thread legs by splitting the Antron for a thinner body.

the McKenzie River near Eugene, Oregon, USA is a fabulous fishery. My best results using a Shark's Caddis Larva is when I used the hare dubbing sparingly. I have a tendency to use too much material.

Rado - How do you organize your fly boxes?
I evolved from wet and dry boxes to location boxes; (places I frequently fish). Now I organize boxes for specific insect species. Example: Blue Winged Olive - dry, emerger, and nymph patterns in multiple sizes and color. On my label, I note time of day for hatches and type of water habitat as a reminder to myself. I found this to helpful in selecting an appropriate pattern. What do you do?

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.
