I’m always looking for interesting content for the blog and I ran across this comical fly pattern from The Stonefly Inn, located in Montana. They have a great blog as well. Check it out.
Hows this for your fly tying fix for the day ?

With spring just around the corner I’m looking forward to start fishing my favorite fly pattern for big trophy trout, the mouse pattern. During the warmer months when I know there are big fish in the river or stream, you’ll often see me rig up a stiff butt 2x leader and tie one of my [...]

The last couple years I’ve really incorporated glass beads into many of my fly patterns, especially my nymphs. Myself, including many others, shy away from gold beaded nymphs because we feel in some cases the trout will refuse them from bad memories of hooks in the lips. Because of this we’ve incorporated glass beads into [...]

For anglers that have been in the sport for a while this is a lesson that was probably learned long ago, but for beginners, its a quick tip you should take note of. Don’t leave home without a nice selection of soft-hackles nymphs.
The thing about soft-hackles is they due a great job of imitating multiple [...]

Check out this bass and striper fly I designed last year for lake fishing. It moves a lot like a zoom trick worm in the water. If your fishing areas where you need the fly to be weedless you can add monofilament weed guards on the hooks. I tie them up both [...]

Monday brought us 35mph winds, Tuesday brought us more wind and two inches of rain, and Wednesday brought us blown out streams. The weather lately has been tough for fishing for sure, but when I get dealt this hand I hit the tying bench to restock my fly boxes.
Generation on the Toccoa River has been [...]

Just finished tying up a batch of this attractor stonefly pattern I came up with specifically for freshly stocked trout on delayed harvest trout water. You can see it’s pretty colorful, which is designed to get the trout’s attention. Give this pattern a try next time you hit the early season delayed harvest trout water.

This is a great streamer pattern that’s tied by nationally renowned fly fishing guide Kevin Howell, from Davidson River Outfitters (DRO). I’ve always looked up to Kevin Howell and I respect this man a great deal. It’s been a pleasure competing with Kevin Howell and Walker Parrott in some fly fishing tournaments in the past, [...]

Recently I’ve been pondering the question can a hook down fly pattern increase trout refusals on dry flies. The last month or so I’ve been fishing beetle patterns on many of my trout streams with good success, however, I have had my fair share of trout refusals even with some of my best patterns.
I developed [...]

I designed this frog pattern to catch big bass on lakes with lots of matted vegetation. It’s intended to resemble the frog baits tournament bass anglers use, hence the name B.A.S.S Frog. The fly lands hook up to avoid snagging grass and I tied it up on a 4/0 Gamakatsu off-set worm hook to [...]

I tied this up to imitate all the emerging caddis on our rivers and streams. For the next few months nymphing or dropping this fly off the back of a dry fly will bring a ton of trout to the net. Apologize for the shawty photos. I’m looking at getting a new camera shortly.
Hook: [...]

TJ Zandoli just finished sending me over this spoon fly pattern. These guys are great flies for all sorts of species and they aren’t hard to tie as long as you have the right materials. Below are some photos of TJ’s pattern, and I’ve attached a link that will take you to a website that [...]

I grew up fly fishing local farm ponds and lakes as a kid, and there’s no doubt the time I spent chasing down bass contributed greatly to my love of fly fishing. With the great innovations in fly tying materials this day in age, balsa wood poppers have fallen off the map. They’re just too [...]

My buddy and fly fishing guide, TJ Zandoli hit it big when he designed the Zandoli Worm. It’s been an outstanding fly for Steelhead on his home waters and has landed many trophy rainbows as well. This unique fly is sure to come in handy if your planning on making a trip for Steelhead in [...]
