We welcome guest tier Rich Ferrara to tie one of his most succesful jig nymphs, the Open Wound. Rich is an excellent tier, with patterns being featured in George Daniel's newest book, "Nymph Fishing." Rich is an exceptional tier, and be sure to post your thoughts about potential variations below in the "Comments" section.

Fly fishing for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice.

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.
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.
