The following patterns were added to the Big Y Catalog for the month of March. For a complete list please visit our website or click her...

Andino Deceiver - A Sabalo imitations, this pattern was originally designed for going after Dorado. However, that isn't the only thing this pattern can catch. It is also incredibly effective against Peacock Bass, and we believe it could be great Pike and Musky pattern. With a total length of 5 inches this pattern is sure to attract the bigger fish that cannot be bothered to chase smaller flies.

Apte II Tarpon -Designed by Stu Apte, the Apte Tarpon fly is meant to attract. Bright orange and yellow hen hackles along with krystal flash make up this flies tail. The collar is also made up of orange and yellow, combine that with some big eyes and you got yourself a tarpon catching machine. Tested time and time again, this pattern is sure to bring in some monsters.

Chamois "Shammy" Worm - Named after the material it is made out of, chamois hide, this worm pattern is pretty uncommon in most shops. While it doesn't look much different than a San Juan Worm when dry, it is when this pattern is wet that is crucial. The hide gives this pattern an incredibly life like look that is damn near impossible to beat with any other material. Best fished after a rain storm, when all the worms are washed into a nearby river or stream. Also great to give this pattern a try when fish refuse to bite a San Juan Worm.
|
Lucky Diver - Chain bead eyes, and epoxy head help this pattern create intense diving actions when stripped in properly. Marabou collar with a rabbit strip, hackle feathers, and flashabou tail are sure to draw in and hold any predatory fish's attention. Designed to sink hook point up, will insure less snags when fishing in the weeds.
| |
Morrish Mouse - Probably the most effect top water mouse pattern around. Excellent pattern for going after Largemouth Bass, Steelhead, and Big Trout. Tail creates the most life like effect when stripped in properly. Try a few aggressive strips then pause, or slow yet steady strip in. When fishing for steelhead, allow it to skate across the water.

Parachute Adams Yellow - The Parachute Adams fly is one of the stables that almost every fly fisherman has in their fly box. The pattern imitates an abundance of insects including both caddis and mayflies. This one contains a yellow body and should be equally effective, especially during Pale Morning Dun and Yellow Sally hatches.
| |
Parachute Midges - Midges are pretty much everywhere and make up for up 22% of a fish’s diet in certain locations. Additionally, many rivers and lakes have midge hatches year round. Their tiny sizes and abundance make them a stable in many fly boxes. The added parachute makes this pattern more visible, while not distracting the fish. Going small is often the solution to finicky fish.
| |
Pike Deceiver - Tightly spun deer hair head will allow you to float this fly along the surface or attach to a sink tip for some underwater action. Hair collar quickly transition into a long feather tail with a touch of peacock herl and krystal flash. Tied on a stainless steel hook, it is sure to hold up against the biggest pike. The addition of a weed guard keeps this pattern snag and tangle free when fishing among vegetation.

Purple & Black Prince - A new twist on one of the most iconic patterns in the fly fishing world. This pattern switches the peacock body for a purple one, black goose biots for wings and tail instead of white and brown, and a black hackle instead of brown. Originally a customer suggestion, this pattern has caught many trout in Western US waters. You can bet we will test these out quite a bit this spring and summer. Purple has quickly become a great go to color when the traditional flies aren’t working.
|
Skagit Minnow - One of the most effective winter steelhead patterns hands down. Does especially well in rivers that are glacier feed. Light weight pattern does well on most shooting heads and fly lines. Underwater action is unlike any other pattern on the market. Originally designed by Mike Kinney

Tube Fly - Originally designed to use smaller hooks and help reduce inquiry to fish. Tube flies allow you to use different hooks depending on conditions. These flies also help reduce the possibility of snags when compared to similar patterns. Purple & Pink is most successful in the summer, Red Rocket is good in all conditions but most successful in low and clear water, Sandy Blue is great when fished under medium flows and temperatures, Sandy Candy works best in early winter under cold conditions especially on coastal streams.
| |
Hellraiser - Looking for one fly to take wherever you go? This little warm water sculpin will do the trick! Great for Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass, Salmon, Steelhead, Trout, and panfish including Crappie, Perch, Bluegill. Great crawdad mimic. Bead Chain eyes give it a little weight in the front. Custom blended chenille with just a touch of flash. Hand Tied by our friends at Haggerty Lures.
