Ah, the world of entomology is vast. The patterns we use to replicate insects as much so!

- Colours
- Sizes
- Shapes
- Positions
- Hackles
- Body materials
- Wing materials
- Beads
- No beads
- Many beads
- Tungsten...lead (f*@% the lead)… tungsten!
- Legs
- Dubbings
- Synthetics
- Natural fibers
- ….and so on.
The evolution of patterns is limitless, new bugs are discovered, new materials are found, new flies are made. Tying is perhaps the single most creative process in fly fishing, it is the essence of what many consider to be a form of art. What are the ingredients of a good fly: good hook, good feathers, good materials…here we don’t compromise the quality of our fly’s contents. We use Whiting Farms for our feathers, Daiichi and Gammukatsu for our hooks and Hareline for our dubbing products. How do we know our patterns work? Our flies get tested daily by the guide staff that uses and creates them, there are no patterns in this catalogue that haven’t pierced the lip of a trout and that is the one qualifier for the flies in our collection; no matter how ugly or plain or unorthodox they may look, they hook fish.
