View full detailsPat's Rubberleg Stonefly is a simple Stonefly pattern that has fooled trout for decades. And, if you cross tying a Jiggy Pat's Rubberleg while listening to 90's Hip Hop by "2 In the Room" you might get a Jiggy Pat's Rubberleg to "Wiggle it, Just a Little Bit..." It's a terrible song, and music video is worse. That said, the video begins with a guy rowing a drift boat into the ocean while wearing short white shorts. What?!?! Completely random. What's not random is that articulation tends to make "great" even better. This is an interesting next step on a modern take of a classic. We expect this will be our go-to stonefly from now on.

View full detailsBaetis mayflies hatch throughout most of the year, which makes the blue-winged olive pattern an excellent trout fly to carry in your fly box year around. Trout can be fickle, so carry several "flavors" of baetis, including the blue-winged olive extended body, the blue-winged olive hatchmaster and the blue-winged olive thorax.

View full detailsThis is a Rod Hamilton variation of the Bonefish Junk fly pattern originally desgined by Charlie Craven. A bit of interesting history…... as new materials and ever more creative brains are uncovered in the fly-tying world, progress is made. The chassis of this fly is the Gotcha, which is a pattern designed by Jim McVay in the back of a cab in the Bahamas using the yellow carpet fur for the wing. As recounted in “Bonefish Fly Patterns” by Mr Brown, the carpet was later replaced by craft fur. This fly has been a bellwether ever since. Another fun fact relayed by Mr McVay...the name was the result of Jim and his fishing pals yelling “Gotcha” so many times during a day of fishing. It has spawned many pattern variations from brilliant minds like Mr Craven who can masterfully introduce new materials and new design ideas to take something to the next level. So, if the original Gotcha is an F150, the Bonefish Junk is a Raptor. You choose. Mr Hamilton’s variation steps back a bit in ways that result in a pattern that was easier to tie for him. Given that he’s spent a lifetime focused on the DIY flats angler, it makes sense that Mr Hamilton would look for ways to reduce tying steps. In any event, don't head to Bahamas without any of these flies. This fly is tied on a Gama SL-11 3H. The Gamakatsu SL-11 3H is one of the strongest and sharpest hooks available, and worth every penny when you hook-up with a fish of a lifetime! This fly is also tied with a weed guard, which can easily be trimmed off.
