Kola Bottle

No comments yet

Join me as I tie the Kola Bottle Tube fly, a effective salmon fly originally created for targeting Atlantic salmon in the fast, deep rivers such as in Russia’s Kola Peninsula. This pattern works beautifully in a wide range of sizes—here, I’m tying a compact 12mm tube, perfect for summer grilse fishing in Ireland.

A money box
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.
