Night Stalker

Category: Nymph/Wet Fly Leaders

A leader for fishing wet flies, streamers or nymphs in low light conditions or turbid water.
Use a leader a rod length or shorter, which makes it easier control the fly in the dark and to land fish without visible contact.
If you want the fly to fish deeper, consider extending the tippet section.

Standard Salmon and Sea Trout

Category: Salmon/Steelhead/Sea trout

This particular leader has been specifically modified for seatrout fishing: a 3X tippet following a 2X tippet.
If a 3X is too limp, remove it and use the 2X in its place.
Large diameter, long butt section, rapid mid-taper and short tippet region will turn over flies well [base formula: 50%-25%-25%]
A good leader for seatrout fishing.

Super Simple Two Section Bank Leader

Category: Streamer Leaders

Another extremely simple and short leader for tossing heavy streamers from the bank into a current. Presentation isn't the aim here, but getting the fly out to swing in the current is. The fly weight helps turn the leader over, and the weight typically also calls for a short leader to get control in the cast.

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.
