Big Bug Hopper
Sizes:
#10 & #12
Color:
Brown
This high-floating terrestrial fly is a go-to during hopper season for targeting trout feeding aggressively on the surface. This hopper pattern is a must-have during late summer when trout are hunting banks for falling terrestrials. Cast tight to the bank with a splash—let it drift naturally with occasional twitches to mimic a struggling hopper.

The Black Zebra Midge is a must-have nymph pattern that imitates the larval stage of midges—one of the most abundant food sources for trout in rivers and stillwaters year-round. With its sleek black body, silver ribbing, and subtle bead head, this fly excels when fish are feeding selectively on tiny, drifting insects

Sinkbite nymph
Sizes:
#14 & #16
Color:
green
This pattern is a sleek, fast-sinking jig-style nymph built for maximum efficiency in tight-line and Euro nymphing scenarios. With its slim profile, heavy tungsten bead, and subtle flash, this pattern gets down quickly and stays in the strike zone—where the fish are feeding. Just enough punch to trigger takes without spooking pressured trout.

Color:
tan
This high-floating terrestrial attractor strikes the perfect balance between realism and visibility. With its muted tan foam body, cream wing, and contrasting yellow sighter, this fly imitates a wide range of natural terrestrials—grasshoppers, stoneflies, and beetles—while still standing out enough for anglers to track easily on the drift. Drift tight to grassy banks or riffle seams. Add occasional twitches to mimic a kicking terrestrial.
