Tying A Salmon Fly With A Unique Body...

No comments yet

Here I tie the verminator, this time with palmered body. This fly originates from the River Tyne in northern England and has been very successful for luring salmon in peat stained water. It is for this reason that I am loading up my fly box with a few of them.

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.
