Selecting the appropriate fly patterns can be an extremely difficult task, especially for beginning anglers. There are so many proven patterns out there and all of them catch fish. The trick is figuring out which patterns will be the most effective choices for the given time of year and type of water that you are fishing. Obviously, these decisions will change dramatically when speaking of different species of fish, however, no matter what species you are after, certain imitations are better choices than others at any given time of year. One of our goals for the near future is to provide you with the ability to purchase every fly that we carry in stock online. For now, we want to help you make these decisions easier by providing hand-picked selections designated to certain types of water and times of year. One other interesting aspect in bug selection is the phenomena of local patterns. There are general patterns that will work for any area, but local patterns always seem to add a little something special to your hook up ratio. For the waters that we know best, you will find selections here for the very best patterns you can possibly find. We want you to put your faith into these bugs and fish them just as hard as that one favorite fly of yours, that always seems to turn a fish. Watch Pat Dorsey tie the UV Scud
