View full detailsThe classic Chubby Chernobyl is known for immitating numerous types insects (from stoneflies to terrestials) as well as being a great indicator for a dry-dropper rig. Using the foam liner from a drawer, Mr Davidson originally tied an ant pattern (no Chubby style wings). In a moment of mash-up, he combined the two concepts. Use this variation by itself or as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig during hot summer days.

View full detailsThe genus Ephemerella mayfly, or pale morning dun represents the largest mayfly hatch in North America, both in sheer numbers of insects and the number of rivers that they are found in. The Etha Wing Pale Morning Dun Emerger should be fished with floatant applied only to the wings of the fly. The rest of the fly will sink, giving a trout the appearance that the pmd is hatching. Trout love to eat emergers because they are defenseless and an easy meal.

View full detailsJohn Andrew, one of the most successful DIY fly fishermen to fish the Bahamas, showed us this fly last year, and then proceeded to out fish everyone with it. John was very generous in sharing this fly with Discountflies so that others could be as successful as he. Through his extensive testing John found that the dark version works especially well in waters with a darker bottom or in areas with turtle grass. 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! Additionally, new production also includes a weed guard, which can easily be trimmed off if it is not necessary.
