- Designed to catch Kings in Alaska and throughout the Pacific Northwest.
- Great for swinging flies for steelhead or salmon.
- Pink is the most popular color, chartreuse/white is great for low water conditions, while black/blue is the best for dirty water.
- Total length is 4 inches making it big enough to draw in a kings attention, yet light enough to cast all day.

- Originating in the Pacific Northwest for Steelhead.
- This older traditional styled pattern has been extremely successful for winter steelhead.
- Also popular for Great Lakes Steelhead.
|
Conehead Mini-Tube Fly |
- Tube flies are great for those who want more options out of their flies.
- The
Conehead Mini Tubes are kind of a quagmire of a fly. We don't always
know why fish strike the fly we do, but we have some ideas.
- This pattern takes some stripped down feathers to great antenna that give off a shrimp appearance especially from behind.
- Fish
in both summer and winter, particularly if you see gear guys running
shrimp on their lines, or if you know the fish are keying in on shrimp
type patterns.
|
Deschutes Madness |
- An oldie but a goodie.
- Invented
by Dave McNeese, for chasing steelhead, obviously a good pattern for
the Deschutes along with many PNW Rivers with summer steelhead runs.
|
Down and Dirty-Tube Fly |
- Tube flies are great for those who want more options out of their flies.
- The Down and Dirty Tubes are great year round patterns.
- These flies will work well for steelhead, salmon, and Atlantic Salmon.
- Designed with traditional flies in mind.
- Each
of these flies weighs 10 grains, please keep that in mind when
selecting your sink tip and when looking at your fishing conditions.
- The little extra weight can go a long way in terms of getting this fly to the right water level.

- Originating in England and Scotland for searun trout.
- This pattern was then taking to New Zealand serving the same purpose.
- Finally it was brought to the US where it found immense success on the Rogue River.
- Needless to say if you are fishing for anything that goes to the ocean and comes back, this fly should caught it.

- Big trout love tiny flies. Smoke Jumper is one that has been a guide secret for many years.
- Best known on the Bighorn River, MT, it is an emerger pattern that is designed to mimic mayflies and caddis flies.
- CDC
helps this pattern sit in the subsurface, when you see fishing sipping
the surface they are usually targeting subsurface insects.
- Fish before, during and after any hatches.

- These
are more delicate Strung-Out series and are specifically used in low
and or clear water.
- They work extremely well in the dog days of summer.The
entire Strung-Out series of patterns were originally introduced by
Spirit River in 2002 and they have been refining them and adding colors
over the years.
- So now they have simply the best selection offered anywhere.
- The concept is simple. The fly has much more movement when it can swim and wiggle in the currents.
- The short shank means you land many more fish. Hence the Intruders and many of the other similar patterns.
- These are the real deal, tied correctly and hold up the rigors of a tough day on the river, or in a fish's mouth.
- Good for Steelhead, and of course Salmon, Bass, big Browns, even Carp.
- Made by Spirit River

- The WD-40 is responsible for catching millions of fish throughout the US and beyond.
- This
small midge pattern has been found to be quite effective, with many
tiers adding slight twists or changes making it more effective to their
locale.
- This example was
brought on by customer request because they have found it to be more
effective in areas with heavy fishing pressures.

- A very popular local Michigan pattern, used for steelies and trout.
|
|
|
- As
new patterns come into the fly fishing world, some become staples in
fly boxes, other inspire new patterns. The Beadhead Wired Chroma is one
that is inspired by a couple newish patterns; the Beadhead Wire Stone
and the Beadhead Psycho Prince.
- A
wired body allows it to sink more quickly and gives it a natural look,
while the thorax has a psychedelic look that is sure to catch attention
in some of the murkiest waters.
- Ice dubbing in the thorax should get buggier the longer it is fished making a more effective pattern.
- Great for winter trout and steelhead.

|
- A great choice when targeting October Caddis hatches.
- Designed on the Yakima River in WA specifically for the October Caddis hatch.
- Foam insures this pattern will float, meaning no need for a floatant and less false casts.
- Wraps throughout the foam give a realistic segmented look that is hard to achieve with traditional materials.
- Also fish during salmon/stonefly hatches and as an attractor.
