Fly Fishing Flies for Freshwater

 

Most of our flies, Freshwater or Saltwater, are quite different than the ones in your local fly shop or fly fishing catalogs. 

 

When it comes to dry flies, we carry a few of the more popular traditional patterns like the Adams, Royal Wulff and Humpy but our best sellers are Parachutes, No-Hackles and CDC’s. 

 

These flies float lower in the water and give a more natural silhouette. Parachutes float especially well, a factor that contributes greatly to Fly Movement on the water. Anglers are finally discovering that naturals don’t always drift motionless. 

 

In fact, more often than not, they’re “on the move”. It takes a lot of practice, but learning to skitter a dry fly naturally is one of the most important skills to have in your bag of tricks. Parachutes float and skitter better than conventionally hackled flies because they have a much greater percentage of hackle fibers in contact with the water. 

 

They’re also much easier to see. Flies like Hare & Herl, Parachute Madam X, Speckl-X, Dancing Caddis and Para-Tractor are dynamite searching patterns.

 

When it comes to Nymphs and Strymphs, the Rub-A-Dub flies are unequaled. Action is the name of the game in fly fishing, actually, in any kind of fishing. 

 

The Rub-A- Dub Dubbing provides fantastic “built-in” action to your flies because it has dozens of tiny rubber-like fibers that “wiggle & squiggle” all over the place. 

 

It’s the deadliest stuff I’ve ever put in the water, not only for Nymphs and Strymphs, but for Dries and Streamers as well. Try our Georgie Boy and Georgie Long Legs and I think you’ll be amazed.

 

Our line of Streamers includes two all-time favorites, the Muddler and the Wooly Bugger, but our deadliest and most popular patterns are the Devil Leech, tied with Tasmanian Devil Hair, Buck-N-Bunny, tied with rabbit, The Fluzzie tied with “Gator Hair, and our Rub-A-Dub Streamers that utilize Rub-A-Dub.

 

Fly Fishing Flies for Saltwater

 

Our line-up of Saltwater and Bass Flies is also a bit on the contemporary side. Except for Bob Marvin’s Happy Face and Tony Tomsu’s STP Frog; both of which are dynamite surface patterns, Sharon and I developed most  of  the other flies during my guiding years in Florida’s Backcountry. We “Had” to create new stuff. 

 

When you’re guiding you need to have flies that don’t tangle. With flies like Deceivers, and other conventional saltwater patterns, it was a constant battle, so we developed flies like the Sea Devil, Yella Fella, Green & Mean and Hot Mama that totally solved the problem. 

 

These patterns took hundreds of snook, tarpon, jacks and reds and became the staple of Saltwater Fly Fishing in Sunny South Florida.

 

When it comes to Bonefishing, there are dozens of flies on the market but the best we’ve found are the Polar Bone, Bone-A-Boo and Dick Nelson’s deadly Bonefish Killer.
