Foxstrich Hollow Fly Variation

No comments yet

Big baitfish-imitations need to have the right profile and movement in the water to fool the predators feeding in baitfish. Saltwater legend Bob Popovics has “cracked the code” several times with his innovative flydesigns, and his design-ideas is the key elements in the fly in this video. We have had the skilled flytyer and flyfisher Jason Taylor behind the vise to demonstrate the tying of The Foxstrich Hollow Fly Variation – a fly where profile and movement is the key.

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.
