Notes: The Rogan's Royal Gray Ghost is a idealization of Carrie Stevens' legendary Gray Ghost streamer.

He tied the streamer using many of the elements found on full dressed salmon flies while still keeping the feel of a streamer.

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.
