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.

I recall arranging t
I recall arranging the first "tour" of Partridge's hook making facility in the UK. Alan was kind to provide his time and staff for the visit even though he was mystified why someone would be interested.The staff were quite surprised that someone would actually want a tour of the plant and were enthusiastic. Subsequent years saw others given a tour as well. He also arranged for some time on 'quality' water in the UK through his connections in the industry. I still have the photos somewhere.
Alan was a true gentleman.
