The Green Inchworm

Foam: Most of the rivers in Northern and mid Patagonia are lined with trees, most of which are willows, and in summer they supply one of the trout's favourite meals, the willow worm.

Foam Caterpillar

Amazing caterpillar imitation tied using foam and hackle. Not the best quality video, but a really neat fly.

Creating Foam Popper Heads from Flip-Flop Sandals

At Rx Fly Fishing, we're always looking for a way to be "frugal fly tiers." A while ago, we found out about making rounded foam popper heads from nothing but a pair of foam flip-flop sandals. In this video, Jason takes you through the process of prepping the sandals, as well as cutting and shaping the foam popper head.

White Foam Body Mayfly

This fly tying video introduces a new dry fly pattern using foam for the body. The White Foam Body Mayfly Dun is easy to tie, easy to see, floats like a cork and fish cannot resist rising to eat it. Foam body dry flies are popular the world over and this fly will surely find its way to the top. Dry fly fishing in the Colorado Rockies is best with a little 4 wt. fly rod, a friend and an incredibly beautiful, comfortable boat ride. Go to http://www.riplips.com

Rubber Legged Beetle

This particular beetle pattern is very easy to tie and fishes extremely well. This fly will stay upright 100% of the time, if tied correctly. The key is to cut the foam shellback a bit wider than the gap of the hook. The AFF D101 hook used here is a little heavier than a typical 1X fine dry fly hook but helps extremely well with keeping the fly upright. The chartreuse foam hot spot helps you keep an eye on your fly and the rubber legs help gives the fly a "bit of life" when on the water. I have the most success with this fly in mid to late summer and fall.

Dust Bunny Winter Stone

A very light CDC winged micro stonefly imitation designed to imitate the various micro stoneflies that hatch throughout the season, most notably in the winter months. Alter the sizes and colors of the body and wing and you can imitate any small stonefly adult. This video shows how to make a cdc wing using the MP magic tool

Foamhead Tubefly

Hollywood Hopper

The Hollywood Hopper is a more realistic hopper pattern from my vise. It sits low and has a great hopper profile. It looks complicated, but once you figure out how to assemble it, it's an easy tie. These are also available through Montana Fly Company.

Weedless Foam Grasshopper

Grasshoppers make up a large part of the fishes summer time diet. From trout to bass when one of these falls on the water it is certainly going to get eaten.

Cod Gurgler

The Plopper

Modification of a fly pattern I originally found by Frank Zervos. Excellent topwater bass fly!

Rubber Spider

One of the most asked for videos by our customers. That is because it is one of the most fish catching flies in the Midwest. The lowly rubber spider has started more people on their fly fishing adventure and caught more fish than any other fly we know of. Simple to tie, even simpler to fish, this pattern is a must have for every fly box.
Whether you are fishing for trout, bluegill or bass the Rubber Spider is a fly you need to have.

Eric's Clodhopper

This video shows you how to tie Eric's Clodhopper. This Hopper pattern lands upright every single time and can seriously take a beating.

Chaos Hopper

This easy to tie Foam Hopper is one of a kind in the Terrestrial Fly Patterns. The original name of the this pattern is "Chaos Hopper", it was originated in Montana and intended to be fished on rivers like the Yellowstone, Madison, Missouri, and Big Horn. This is my favorite Hopper Fly because it is very simple, it has a very lifelike profile and trout eat the heck out of it. I often fish a Hopper Pattern with a nymph dropper in August and early September when the grasshoppers are bigger and more active in the hot sun. Fly fishing from a drift boat is a great way to fish with Hoppers.

Chubby Chernobyl

The Chubby Chernobyl has become one of the West best hopper dropper high floating dry fly. We love it for holding up a nymph, banging away at the banks and as a general attractor. In this video Tony Torrence demonstrates one way to tie it.

Cricket Patterns have been my most productive terrestrial flies for big fish. This cricket pattern features sili-legs, a material that has tremendous movement in the water. Tie in sizes 8-12. Happy Tying!
