Comments from Ben & his proud dad


The Royal Coachman Bucktail is a popular adaptation of the traditional wet fly. The substitution of white goat hair for the wing adds translucency & action to the pattern when tied in smaller sizes.

Twist the peacock herl with the tying thread before wrapping it on so it won't unravel if the fish bite it.

Ben is the 12 year-old son of the swapmeister, and clearly the prize of his dad's eye with this offering.

Pike Landing

Large pike can be quite intimidating, almost scary to land. They have teeth everywhere and the danger of being badly cut is very present. But there is a grip, which is safe. By properly lifting the fish in its jaw, both you and the pike stay unharmed.

Mart's Parachute Ant

During the warmer months of the year, they are just about anywhere... Ants. Martin Westbeek shows an easy way to tie a good ant imitation that will sit well on the surface and hopefully lure trout or grayling.

Streamers From a Left Coast Tyer

Growing up on the West Coast, I learned about East Coast fly patterns and tyers mostly from books, and the occasional television show. I remember seeing Lee Wulff and Joe Brooks on the American Sportsman show as a youngster, fishing for Brookies.
