Adams Yellow	Ah the famous Adams. Never has there been a fly so well known and prominent in the fly fishing culture. Designed to mimic a slew of insects that make it one of the most effective patterns of all time. Now in yellow to only improve its ability to "match the hatch.” Extremely effective during any hatches with small bugs containing yellow bodies. Fish during Caddis, PMD, Sulphur, and Yellow Sally hatches to name a few.
Buzzer	Technically a midge pupa imitation. This not so little nymph pattern is responsible for landing hundreds of thousands of lake trout. F rom its humble beginnings in Britain Stillwater fishing, this pattern has been successful worldwide. While designed to be a Stillwater midge pupa pattern, we have found this fly to be successful in numerous situations. Particular in a dead drift in rivers containing midge hatches. It is also a great dropper fly and many lake fisherman will fish this with a leech pattern.
Crazy Legs Intruder	Designed to be fished all year on the swing. This fly is legendary in landing Pacific Steelhead. It has also seen its fair share of Salmon. Seems to come alive underwater, creating action that is irresistible to all sea-run species
Dolly Llama Crosscone	Articulated version of the Conehead Double Bunny. Very highly recommended for Alaska Silvers, and Rainbows. Now with a crosscone, which allow eyes to be inset to the cone adding to the attraction
Dolly Llama Masked	Articulated version of the Conehead Double Bunny.  Very highly recommended for Alaska Silvers, and Rainbows. Now with a mask, making this pattern much lighter. Great for those fishing in shallower water.
MT Sculpin	A great sculpin imitation prefect for stipping, swinging, and drifting Movement is enticing to trophy trout (and we don't mean dinky trophies), steelies, all bass.  More wiggle and dressing.
Sac Fry	Try this out for Great Lakes Steelies, post-spawn browns. Great for late fall and winter fly fishing. Nice fry imitation with a mask that keeps eyes in place and gives it an extra shine that only masks and epoxy can achieve.
Shawback Stinger Masked	Nice leech pattern with tons of articulation. Great for aggressive and anadromous fish. Strip it, swing it, and dead drift it. With a mask, making this pattern much lighter. Great for those fishing in shallow runs, or casting along the bank.
Shrimp Scud	Scuds or freshwater shrimp are not in all waters, but the waters they are in fish readily target them. This simple Shrimp Scud is another great imitation to add to your fly box. A little less buggy than our traditional Scud pattern, this fly is a great choice for particularly finicky trout. Additionally the Tan variation is fairly similar to the famed Utah Killer Bug. Now that the yarn is no longer available, this pattern is great for filling that spot in your fly box. Meaning it should also see great success among Tenkara fisherman.
Sprout Midge Emerger	The faithful midge insect, its imitations are the go to for a lot fly fisherman, especially in the dead of winter. This pattern is designed to be an emerging midge, and should be used when fish are seen "sipping” the surface of the water. Designed with a foam post to help keep this pattern in the subsurface. The white post also makes it much easier to see this pattern when lighting conditions are not as favorable. Fish in the subsurface, apply floatant and fish as a dry, fish a dropper, or when the terrestrials are out fish in tandem with a big foam fly (one of our favorite ways to fish small dries).
Strung Out Leech Crosscone	Nice leech pattern with tons of articulation. Very highly recommended for Alaska Silvers, and Rainbows. With a crosscone, which allow eyes to be inset to the cone adding to the attraction
Strung Out Leech Masked	Nice leech pattern with tons of articulation. Very highly recommended for Alaska Silvers, and Rainbows. With a mask, making this pattern much lighter. Great for those fishing in shallower water.
Stu's Rhea Intruder--By Aqua Flies	Using long flowing materials is one of the key Intruder features. The rhea is a small South American ostrich-like bird with long flowing feathers, and it's the perfect match for the Intruder. The use of rhea was popularized by Paul Miller a number of years ago. Stu's Rhea Intruders are tied on 40mm shanks with 5/32-inch brass eyes. Stock flies come with a Gamakatsu Octopus hook.
