Fly Fishing Patterns

We all know Trout of all sorts and sizes will eat bugs of all varieties, particularly you can catch some big fish during big hatches of Salmonflies or Green Drakes.  However, when consistently targeting the biggest Trout in a river, it is no mystery that big Trout like big flies. In particular, big Trout (especially Browns) specifically seek out and target larger meals.  The most consistent large meals in any water are Baitfish/Leeches/Crayfish, etc.  Therefore, when targeting these big Trout, it makes the most sense to fish Trophy Streamers, the flies that best replicate meals of the proportions that they seek.

You can say we have gone a little more fly crazy than normal this year. As an example, with our last order we added over 20 new patterns in a ton of different color. That makes for over 70 new patterns. Most of the new additions have been in the Competition/Perdigon Flies and Trophy Streamers. We also added new Streamer and Musky Flies as well. Here’s a few of our favorite new patterns.

May presents some of the best fly fishing opportunities of the year.  No matter where you live in the United States, there is something significant happening in the world of fly fishing. 

Carp fly fishing has been slow growing in popularity for the last two decades but just in the last few years’ carp fishing has exploded.

Well, the can drive you nuts with how spooky they are or how picky they can be with what they eat. Hopefully my Top 10 Carp Flies will help you out on one of these fronts……
