Avalon Permit Unweighted -Much like the Avalon Permit fly, this is the unweighted version, not containing the dumbbell eyes of its heavier counterpart. Ideal for fishing swallower waters or in the mangroves. This pattern is meant to sink slower with the hook pointing towards the surface, provide a slimmer chances of getting snagged up. Avalon Permit flies are some of the most tested flies on the market, with all the right colors to entice even the most skiddish fish.

Bonefish Bitter - When chasing Grey Ghosts there are a few flies you have to have in your box and flies that will work depending on the region. This pattern is a must have, it works in Mexico, Belize, The Keys, you name it; if there are bonefish there this fly will find them. It's smaller size reminds most of some of the classics like Crazy Charlies, Gotcha's, and Christmas Islands. The epoxy head will insure that this fly holds up after dozens of fish.

Bream Candy Frog -All the right colors in all the right places, is the best way to describe this fly. If you are going after smallmouth bass especially in the spring time this fly is a most have in your box. Body made of balsa wood makes an irreplaceable sound that instantly attracts nearby fish. Concave head creates a waking action that makes brings fish to the surface. Nothing quite like seeing a big bass jump out of the water to gulp down your fly.

Conehead Crystal Bugger -Who doesn't like a Bugger pattern? If you have been fishing a season or two chances are buggers are responsible for catching at least a hand full of your fish. While we have carried the Beadhead patterns for years now, the conehead was just added; due to popular demand. Conehead patterns are great to have when fishing currents that a standard beadhead is having trouble cutting threw.

Double Ice Cream Cone Tungsten - This pattern is currently the most sought after pattern in the Big Y catalog. It sells out within a week of coming in stock and we probably get two to three calls a week asking when it will be available again. An iconic midge pattern, Ice Cream Cones were made famous in lakes or Colorado and Oregon. While we only have this one kind available you can bet we will be adding more variations in the months to come.

Beadhead Green Weenie - Originally designed as an inch worm imitation in the Smokeys, we mostly use this pattern on the Deschutes to mimic a cased caddis pupa. If you peel off their outta rocky shell of a cased caddis in the river, you will see this pattern is almost a dead on replica. The beadhead helps get this guy down in deep "slots" where big trout are lurking.

 |
Kaufmann Stonefly Rubber Legs - The stonefly hatches are some of the most coveted hatches in the fly fishing community. This monster bugs come out in droves especially during sunrise and sunset. However, during the day it may be harder to get big trout to rise out of the depths. When that happens we suggest tying on one of these guys. This famous pattern is responsible for catching hundreds of thousands of rainbows, rubber legs give this pattern extra attractant.

Pink Passion -Created by Mr. Steve Lamb out of Georgia, the Pink Passion is his newest addition to his metallic streamer collection. Great for catching big fish that are keying in on baitfish, or sculpins. Also a great attractor pattern that provokes aggressive strikes out of spawning fish.

 |
Beadhead Polish Anchor -A Czech nymphing pattern, this caddis pupa imitation originated in Europe, but is quickly catching on across North America. It bead and tightly wrapped body help this pattern cut through water columns and get down to where the fish are. A great summer pattern, that is sure to produce even during the hottest days.
|
 |
Silver Orange Shrimp -Another European pattern originating from Sweden, this pattern is know for its effectiveness with Atlantic Salmon. However, it has all the right attributes to make a an excellent Steelhead or Coho pattern. While this pattern is still vary new it should catch on as a classic fly on certain rivers.
|
 |
Trout Crack -Much like a Crackleback, this pattern is extremely effective in the Ozark's. When fished as a dry fly the Trout Crack mimics a mayfly hovering over the surface to lay its eggs. When fished like a nymph it mimics an caddis pupa, the hackle gives it the appearance of a translucent case. Needless to say this fly can be extremely effective and versatile in the right hands.

 |
Beadhead Yes Butt - A red beadhead, blue dun thorax, olive body, orange ribbing, and a krystal flash tail, all packed on a small curved hook; this pattern screams look at me. Originally designed for chasing Browns on the Owens and East Walker Rivers, this attractor pattern is catching on like wildfire. Fish it deep in a dead drift, in a hopper dropper setup, on a lake with a slow drop, setups are endless.
