Two types

The two basic types of kayaks: open type, sit-on-top (top) and the traditional type (bottom). Apart from one being open and the other closed, it is typical that the open type is shorter and wider than the slender, arctic type, which often is faster and more suitable for long trips.
The shapes and profiles are simplified and generalised.

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.
