Golden Pheasant Tail - A great pheasant tail pattern that is especially popular in the PA area. Much like a traditional pheasant tail, but with subtle difference that can quickly change a slow day of fishing to one of the best. Golden pheasant tail feathers are used giving the body a more spotted/creamy look. Golden brown ice dubbing is used in the thorax instead of peacock herl, adding an attraction that isn’t as drastic as a Hot Spot Pheasant Tail or a Sulphur Pheasant Tail. A great all around searching pattern that has proven to be effective anywhere you would typically fish a Pheasant Tail Nymph. Currently available in sizes 12, 14, and 16.

Jiggy Fly -Hugely popular baitfish pattern along the Mid-Atlantic Coast for stripers, bluefish, and bonita. Conehead adds weight and the ability to give the fly a jigging action. Hair and krystal flash keep this fly simple and yet incredibly effective. Use anywhere you would normally use a Lefty's Deceiver but it isn't sinking fast enough for you. Currently available in size 6.

Kiwi Muddler - An oldie but a goodie the Kiwi Muddler takes the best part of a Muddler Minnow and a Zonker to make one legendary pattern.

Squirmy Worm - Squirmy Worms are made of a silicon that creates a more realistic look than other patterns out there.

Top Secret Midge -Invented by Pat Dorsey on the South Platte River to entice finicky fish. This pattern has caught on for its productiveness and versatility. Midges are available in most rivers most of the year and are therefore a stable for many trout. This pattern in particular does well when fished deep, in the subsurface, or anywhere in between. CDC along the back helps keep this pattern in the subsurface without the need to apply a float or constantly dry. Sink it with split shot and the CDC gives this pattern an emergence look convincing trout to deal out aggressive strikes. Perfect pattern for this time of year and extremely popular in Western rivers. Currently available in olive and black and is sizes 16, 18 and 20.

Twenty Incher Rubber Legs - The standard Twenty Incher is a renown pattern for catching both trout and steelhead. Its known as a great prospecting nymph pattern and a stonefly imitation. A black bead, flashback, red ribbing, and rubber legs are all added attractions that set this one apart from its predecessor. Fish in any rivers that contain stoneflies. We like to fish stonefly nymphs near the bottom using a dead drift technique and then allow the pattern to swing to the surface at the end of your run. We find this is when you should get the most action. Currently available in sizes 6, 8 and 10.
