All Fur Wet Fly

Zug Bug

One of the classic generic nymphs. Although originally designed to imitate a cased cassis fly, the Zug Bug has proven its effectiveness over many decades.

PDQ Caddis

The PDQ (pretty damn quick) caddis will not only float all day long, but it also takes under 4 minutes to tie!

PMD Comparadun

This Pale Morning Comparadun demonstrates a little different technique for the regular comparadun wing. This technique results in a slimmer abdomen and greater buoyancy.
