Dry Flies - Nymphs & Strymphs - Streamers - Saltwater & Bass


 

"BUTTON FLIES"
These little buttons are the staple of my "match-the-hatch" fly box. Of course nothing works all the time, but these little guys have bailed me out of more situations than anything else. I think the reason they work so well is that they display such a simple, clean outline to the fish. Sometimes we get too carried away trying to create an exact imitation and the trout can easily spot our discrepancies. These patterns all have hackle that is locked down with my "rubber post" method and float extremely well. If you fish spring creeks, tail waters or anywhere there are selective fish rising, I’m sure you’ll quickly learn to appreciate these flies, named "Buttons" because when the rubber post is clipped, it slams down and forms a perfectly round button. I’m offering five patterns.
Price: $1.95 each
Sulphur 16 -18
      
PMD 16-18
      
BWO 18 -20
      
Trico 20
 
Midge 22
 

Selection of 10 buttons, 2 of each pattern
Price: $14.95 per selection

 

THE "CLUMPA" This dynamite dry fly is one of my deadliest patterns. It works well for both hatches and spinner falls -and- is an excellent pattern for "pounding 'em up". Between the "Clumpa" and the "Buttons", I feel I'm pretty well covered for most dry fly situations. Adams gray body with grizzly hackle. Sizes 12, 14, 16 & 18.

 

Price: $1.95 each

Selection of 8 flies, 2 of each size
Price: $12.95 per selection

 


"DANCING CADDIS" - If you're into Elk Hair or Neff Caddis, you'll  really like the "Dancer." These flies are excellent imitations of the naturals, float like a cork, skitter beautifully and are easy to spot on the water. Sizes 14, 16, 18.

 

Price: $1.75 each

       

Dancing Caddis selection of 12 flies, 4 of each size
Price: $19.95 per selection

 

"HARE & HERL" A great fly developed by Sharon that has been deadly on streams all over the country. This is a yummy - looking parachute with a peacock herl body and a snowshoe rabbit post and tail. Floats like a cork & is easy to see on the water.  Sizes: 12-14-16-18

 

Price: $1.95 each

      

Hare & Herl selection of 12 flies, 3 of each size
Price: $16.95 per selection


"PARA-TRACTOR" -Attractor dry flies that utilize my "Rubber Post" method of attaching the parachute hackle. The rubber " locks in" the hackle, making a high-floating fly that is extremely durable and easy to skitter. Best combination "Attractor/Hatch matcher" in my fly box. Nailed at least 20 fussy big fish, 3-6#'s, in New Zealand and Chile.

 

Price: $1.75 each

      

Selection of 16 flies, 2 of each size & color
Price: $24.95 per selection


"CDC FLIES" by Karl Gebhardt
CDC flies are deadly when they’re tied properly, however, most tyers simply don’t use enough of the "duck rump" feathers to float the fly. The reason for skimping on the CDC is usually economics – the feathers are quite expensive. I’ve received samples from numerous tyers and none of them left a good impression, that is, until Karl Gebhart sent me some Sulphurs, PMD’s and BWO’s last summer. Karl is from Selingsgrove, PA and is not only a good friend but is a great caster (FFF Certified), excellent angler (guides in the Delaware River area) and a superb fly tyer. One look at his CDC Duns and I knew they would work – great wing silhouette, lots of CDC and neat little trailing shucks in the right color. They are deadly! And durable! Great for fussy fish!

I’m offering 3 patterns: Sulphur Dun CDC - Pale Morning Dun CDC & Blue Wing Olive CDC.
Price: $1.95 each

Sulphur Dun CDC
      
Pale Morning Dun CDC
      
Blue Wing Olive CDC
      

 


"PARACHUTE MADAM X" - My offspring of the original "Madam" may even be more deadly, especially if you like great visibility, super floatability, and a fly that is so easy to skitter. Our Top Selling Fly!

 

 

 

 

Price: $2.25 each

      

 

Selection of 12 flies, 4 of each size
Price: $21.95 per selection


"SPECKL-X"
The latest and deadliest version of my PMX-style dry flies. On my last trip to New Zealand and Chile this speckle legged killer was my top dry, especially for large fish, in the 4-6 # category. Last season, along with my regular PMX's and Para-Tractors, it was deadly on the "B" rivers like the Big Hole, Beaverhead, Bitterroot and Bow. A great floater, skitters well and easy to see.


Price: $2.75 each

       

Speckl-X selection of 6 flies, 2 of each size
Price: $14.95 per selection


"MADAM X" - When I developed this fly over 20 years ago, I never dreamed that dry flies with wiggly rubber legs would become so popular. Almost every fly shop nowadays has half a dozen versions of the "Madam." It has caught over 40 species of fresh and saltwater fish, including Tarpon, Steelhead and Salmon. 

 

Price: $1.95 each

Madam X Selection of 12 flies, 4 of each size
Price: $19.95 per selection


"DP HOPPER"
The Double Parachute Hopper is without question, the very best hopper imitation I ever used! Period! 

The silhouette, especially from the trout's point of view ( underneath), is incredibly realistic and the second parachute hackle allows the fly to float exactly like a grasshopper. Very time - consuming to tie, but worth the extra $$$. Remember to use 1x or 2x tippet. Sizes 8 & 10
Price: $3.75 each
