By Joseph Bartholomew The first version of this fly was tied as an experiment and thrown in my fly box without another thought. There it sat for about three months until one day, while streamer fishing I came across a walleye sitting in some rocks. I snuck into position and […]

By Jeremy Inman The mantis shrimp is a well known creature even to those who have never stepped foot in the salt. There are countless patterns and variations available today, one of the more known patterns being the Spam N Eggs, developed right here in Hawaii. While they all work […]
Let me set the scene for you. It’s a beautiful summer day, the air temperature is an ambient 26 degrees, a light breeze is in the air, and you’ve just walked up to your favourite fishing hole. Relief washes over you as you cautiously approach the water and discover no […]
By Dave S This is a no-nonsense, easy to tie pattern that just works. The rubber legs and artic fox add heaps of movement, and the lead eyes will get your fly down and add a nice jerk motion when fished with a floating or intermediate line. I always have […]
I just had the opportunity to get my hands on Loon’s Fly Tying Tool Kit. Over the years I have had the privilege of spending hours tying flies with a variety of tools. Some of the tools I have used range from the tools I was given when I originally […]

I discovered this EP pattern a few months ago when I thought about fishing the Texas coast. Everyone knows the crab is the “it” fly in the salt, and that proved to be true! I hooked into lots of nice fish on this pattern. I hope it catches you a […]
This craft fur deceiver has been a staple pattern for me these past few months here in Texas. I use this pattern when I am targeting large bass or fishing the Texas coast. This fly is tied on a rather large hook, so I usually throw this when I am […]
Perdigon nymphs are small, delicate, heavily weighted nymphs developed by Spanish competition anglers. These nymphs were developed to fish fast moving, technical water that see a lot of fishing pressure. The small, slick profile allows these small nymphs to get down to the feeding zone. Perdigons are typically tied in […]
