One of the constantly popular sections and an almost surefire number one in the most visited list is our LeaderCalc tool.
LeaderCalc was made by GFF partner Steve Schweitzer back in the early 2000's and was originally a spreadsheet, which you could download and run in MS Office.
That changed in 2016 where it was transformed to an online tool, and was modernized with many more leaders and a lot more functions.

The old version is still available, but not maintained anymore, while the online tool is regularly updated with new leaders and new facilities. It currently features 2,888 leader recipes!

Below you can find links to the latest content about LeaderCalc, and also to a couple of the older articles about fly fishing leaders.

There's also some other new stuff: a couple of articles about fly photography and an article about bamboo rod making and more.

Much more is of course found on the site, so knock yourself out and go swimming in the deep end:

2,366 articles with 19,300 pictures. 11,804 videos, 776 fly patterns (and many more not in the pattern database), 440 blog entries and 360 reviews.

There should be enough for a few hours of reading.

Enjoy

… 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.
