The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Hi GFF readers.
I need some help regarding fly-line weight and the AFTM-system.
After a 20-year pause I'm taking up fly-fishing again. One of my problems is that i have forgotten the AFTM-rating on my old lines. On this website I found this statement: 'The AFTM-system used to describe weights of fly lines, specifies the weight of the front 30 feet of line'. But how much weight are we talking about?
I would like to classify my lines. Any help is appreciated.
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
