GFA Hopper
The GFA Hopper is a simple yet very effective dry fly. Being made of mostly foam and deer hair it floats very well.
Chernobyl Ant
Chernobyl ants are probably one of the most popular foam flies around if not the most popular. They are basically unsinkable, are relatively easy to tie, have lots of movement with the legs, and the ...
GTI Caddis
The GTI Caddis is a fly I have had great luck with in the past. I have used this pattern for a long time.
Perdigon Fly
The Perdigon came from competition fly fisherman who started the "euro nymphing" technique. They would fish a heavy fly, preferably on a jig hook so it would not snag the bottom.
Frenchie
The Frenchie fly resembles a pheasant tail that has been changed slightly. These can be tied on a regular hook, but I really like using a jig hook with these.
Rainbow Warrior
The Rainbow Warrior is a fly created by Lance Eagan to fish as an attractor for fish targeting smaller sized midges and baetis. This is a flashy fly that really grabs the trouts attention.
Bead Head Hares Ear
The Hares Ear is a classic fly that has been around for a long time. Even though its an older pattern, its still very effective today.
Royal Wulff
The Royal Wulff is one of those flies that seems like its just to pretty to work properly. However this fly works great!
RS2
The RS2 is a fly that is so simple yet works so well. Its one of those flies that is in a league of its own and there really isn't much that can replace it for given situations.
Elk Hair Caddis
Elk Hair Caddis are one of those flies that have been around for a long time, yet still are some of the best dry flies you could fish with. They are a classic pattern that just seems to work.
Adams
The Adams Catskill style dry fly is one of the most, if not the most popular dry fly ever created. Just about every freshwater fly shop in America has them for sale.
Baitfish Perdigon
The Perdigon is a very popular euro nymphing fly that is pretty simple to tie and is very effective.
Brush Minnow
This fly is something Im calling a brush minnow. I am positive something similar or exact has been tied before so I am not saying I came up with the pattern, but it is something I tie quite often. B...
The Prince Nymph
Prince Nymphs have been around for quite some time. Originally designed by Doug Prince in 1930 (at least from what I found online), it has been a fly that has worked well even to this day.
Cypert's Minnow
This originally was developed by Charlie Cypert for fishing South Texas white bass runs. It can also be used well with sunfish, bass and crappie.
Rabbit Clawed Crab
Crabs and shrimp are a staple food source for fish like the Redfish, black drum, pompano, and other popular saltwater sport fish.
The San Juan Worm
The San Juan Worm is a divisive fly. Some love fishing with it, others think its an abomination. However no one can deny its effectiveness in certain situations.
WD 40
WD-40s are probably one of the most widely used baetis emerger and midge pupa patterns. The key to their success is not just their effectiveness in catching fish, but mostly because they are very ea...
Beginners Guide to Fly Tying Scissors
Scissors are one of the more important parts of your fly tying tool set. Every day I get a new tier asking what they need to start tying besides a vice.
Pop a Top Popper
A customer of mine sent me a video and asked if I could tie the fly for him. It was interesting enough so I said I would.
Biot Stonefly
The stonefly is a staple food source for many trout around the world. Not all river systems or lakes have them in there, but when they are present, trout cannot turn down such a large meal.
The Bream Killer
The bream killer fly pattern was requested by one of my subscribers a while back. I decided to give it a go, and it seems like a pretty good pattern.
Swimming Finger Mullet
This fly I created because of a request from a Customer of mine who was buying my hand tied flies. He said he wanted something like a clouser minnow, but one that was colored like a finger mullet. N...
Kwan Fly
Kwan flys are a loose representation of a cross between a shrimp and a crab. They work great for saltwater fish that target Crustaceans.
