A good choice for trout and salmon, fish this bucktail in the traditional manner. Cast across and slightly down, let it swing down in the current working the fly a little with the rod, then strip it back and repeat. Sizes#6,#8.

This is a local pattern designed to imitate the large Stone fly found on the Androscoggin River. Represents an adult stone fly caught in the surface film. I will dead drift this fly with some light twitching to suggest a struggling adult. I will also at times fish this pattern like a streamer with great results.  Offered in sizes 6 and 8.

This fly is a favorite of a dear old friend of mine. He handed me one a long time ago and asked if I would tie up a few for him for an upcoming fishing trip.He said the pattern had saved the day for him on many occassions. I had never seen one like it in a store or catalog. Bruce didn't have a name for it, so I gave it his name! And just like my old friend this fly has caught alot of fish over the years. Sizes#8,10

Yellow+red size4

The Coyote is a pattern I developed for fishing rivers where stoneflies are present. This fly is heavely weighted to get down quickly, even in fast water. The coyote fur tail and collar of this fly add movement, the ice dub and cone provide the flash. Fish this fly like you would a streamer or fish it like you would a big stone fly nymph, I have used both methods with great success in the Androscoggin River here in NH. I tie these in size 10 or 8 , be sure to specify size when ordering.

Imitates the young Brook Trout that inhabit the clear, cold streams of the northcountry. Little brookies are a natural food source for the bigger fish that live in these beautiful waters.Sizes#6,#8,#10

This little steamer has become one of my favorites for small streams and trout ponds. It has become very popular to a lot of other New England trout fihermen as well. It is weighted, offers a lot of movement and a lot of flash. The one shown is the original, I also offer this streamer in White, Pink, Brown, Olive and Black. All in size 10.  If you would likle another color or size please email or call.

This old pattern has been catching trout for many years and is still one of my favorites. Can be fished as a streamer or a dry fly, very versatile pattern. Offered in sizes 6, 8, 10.

Imitates the young rainbow trout that thrive in many streams and rivers from one end of appalachia to the other. Recognized by big trout everywhere! Sizes#6,#8.

This variation of the original Moby Dick was created by my good friend Mike. He is a registered Maine Guide and a remote trout pond specialist. I have personally witnessed this pattern take many beautiful Brook Trout from these remote ( and I do mean remote! ) ponds. I dont't know what the fish think their eating when they take this fly, but take it they do. Thaks for sharing this pattern Mike!

Offered in size #10

Olive variation of the Golden Retriever

Offered in size 10

My favorite variation of the Golden Retriever. Great little streamer on Brook Trout ponds and small streams.

An old traditional streamer thats a good choice for trolling lakes and ponds for trout and salmon. This pattern is offered in sizes #4, and #6

Size 10 unless otherwize stated.

Here's something different for your streamer box. The weight on this little steamer is the beadchain eyes. These give it some flash as well a nice diveing action. I especially like using this pattern in the smaller streams around northern New Hampshire. Works well where the brook trout are a little on the wild side. I offer this streamer in size 10 but I can custom tie them in different sizes and colors.

A very simple steamer that the trout find very appealing. This pattern has become quite popular with serious New hampshire anglers. This streamer can be tied in a variety of color combinations, I can custom tie these if needed. Email or call if you want some in a different color.  Offered in sizes 6, 8.

Available in sizes #6,#8.What can be said about woolly buggers that hasn't already been said. Quite possibly the best all around pattern on the planet. If I had to pick just one fly to use for a season of fishing it would be the woolly bugger. I offer these in olive, yellow, black, white, red+white and chartruese. Please specify color and size, or I can custom tie them in different colors per request. These are all weighted unless unweighted is specified. Custom orders will take a little longer.

With its gray body and barred wings the adams can represent many grayish colored mayflies. Worth a try even when there is no apparent hatch, good choice for all spieces of trout. Sizes 10, 12, 14

The Ausable Bomber is one of my "Go To" flies when fishing the rough and tumble streams of northern New England. This fly is designed to float high and is great for skimming across the suface. I often fish this fly well greased with floatant to keep it high and dry for an extended period. It can also be an effective fly on trout ponds when the more delicate dries are not pulling their weight. I have also had great success fishing for Small mouth Bass with this pattern.

The pattern in the picture is the original color and my favorite but I also offer it in orange, yellow and brown, ( The Brown Bomber! )

Offered in size #12

​Please Specifly color when ordering

The Baby Dragon is a smaller variation of my popular "Dans Dragon" Bass popper. Although not your traditional trout fly this can be a very effective pattern at times and a great addition to your fly box. I had great success with this pattern on some remote trout ponds in Baxter State Park in Maine the first time I used one of these flies. This pattern is tough as nails and will float all day without floatant. Very easy to cast also.

Offered in size #10

The Dark Cahill is another of the traditonal dry flies, it can represent many of the gray colored mayflies that are abundant throughout the country. Sizes#12,#14

 This yellow variation of the Deer Hair caddis is always worth a try, especially where rainbows and Brook Trout hang out. This fly floats very well and is easy to see. Sizes 10, 12, 14.

The main ingredient in a humpy is deerhair, the tail, the hump and the wings are all made from deerhair making these flies float like corks. This productive fly works well in fast turbulant water and is worth a try on flat water when other patterns aren't producing. The fly shown is tied with a chartruese underbody and is also available with yellow, Sizes 10, 12, 14.

In mid to late June the fishing on the Androscogin in NH is at its finest. One of the largest and easily recognized aqautic insects on this river is the stonefly. They seem to prefer fast moving water and the Andro has plenty of that. Here is something different to imitate or "suggest" an adult stone. Sometimes offering the trout something they have'nt seen before can really get thier attention. I offer these in sizes 6 and 8.

The March Brown represents a particular mayfly but can be productive when any mayfly of similar color is active. This is a good searching pattern when fishing unfamilar waters. Sizes #12,#14

The Never Sink Caddis is a Southern Appalachian Pattern popular in the Smokey Mountains. I think it is equally well suited to our Appalachian region of Northern New England. The White Mountains of New Hampshire are home to countless small, fast moving streams. The foam under wing on this fly will keep afloat in these clear, tumbling streams. These can also be a great choice during the Alder Fly hatch on the Androsgoggin River.

The royal wulff doesn't look like anything natural, but it has accounted for a lot of fish over the years. It works great in fast turbulant water especially if you apply a little floatant. One ofÿthe best attributes of this fly is that it is highly visible even for those of us whose eyes don't work quite as well as they once did! Out standing pattern for brooktrout and landlock salmon. Sizes 10, 12, 14.

More exacting in imitation than the hair wing caddis.This pattern is better suited for slow and still water situations. Applying a little floatant is recomended when using this effective pattern. Sizes#10, #12, #14

This is a nice little bead head nymph that can suggest a lot of different bugs, Kind of a Jack of all trades. This little nymph contains two of my favorite materials, Gray Squirrel fur and Ice Dub, a great fish catching combination. Offered in sizes 10, 12, 14.

The caddis fly nymph protects itself by attaching objects to itself such as sand or small wood debris like spruce needles. This makes them easily recognizable in the stream. If you notice a very small ball of sand moving along the bottom where there is no current it's not your imagination, it's a caddis fly nymph. The Cased Caddis Fly Nymph imitates this stage of the caddis flies life cycle. Sizes 8, 10, 12

Sometimes a flashy green Caddis nymph is just the ticket. Great pattern for the Magalloway River in Western Maine.

Offered in sizes 10, 12, 14

​Please specify size when ordering

This pattern, in different sizes has accounted for a lot of trout for me and my sons over the years, especially rainbow trout. Good searching pattern when nothing obvious is going on. Sizes 8, 10, 12 weighted.

The Maple Syrup is one of the simplest nymph patterns out there but a very effective nymph. I tie this pattern unweighted so if I want to get it down I use a sink tip or full sinking line, or add a little split shot to the leader. I also fish it on a dry line letting it float around just under the surface. This pattern presents a big juicy easy meal to Trout or Bass.

Offered in size #10

Olive body, black head, great caddis nymph imitation. Offered in sizes 10, 12, 14, please specify size or sizes when ordering.

With its wing and tail of wood duck flank feathers and its muskrat dubbed body, this wet fly is a classic. And although you may not see these in the catalogs or fly shop bins as much anymore, the dark and light cahill wet flies are still attractive to the trout. These little flies represent something good to eat to the hungry fish. Sizes #10#12#14

This is my favorite soft hackle fly, I let this fly drift down through a pool then strip it back up using short three to five inch strips, sometimes letting it float back down in the current a foot or so then bring it back again in short strips. Sizes#10, #12,#14.

The Partidge and Yellow goes well in your box along side the Partridge and Orange and other soft hackles. If you would like a different color or size make a request in the box provided and I will let you know if I can make them up or not. Sizes #10#12#14

Beetles are in abundace all summer so its a good idea to have a few in your box.This is a simple but effective imitation, I especially like using these in the smaller streams in my area. Size 12.

Size #8. Very realistic pattern, floats low in the water. Can be very effective along stream banks with a lot of grass and low vegitation. The Deer Hair Hopper is a good choice from mid summer through early fall. Try letting this fly dead drift through a likely spot, give it just a little twitch or two but don't over do it. Keep it as natural a presentation as possible.

I don't know why orange works when it comes to grasshopper imitations, but it does. Orange is just one of those colors that can have an inviting effect on a trouts appetite. Maybe its best to not worry about why and just enjoy it! This little hopper is offered in size 10

Size #10. The foam wing on this little hopper allows the body to hang below the surface in a realistic fashion. Good choice when smaller grass hoppers are in abundance. (mid to late summer).

Size #10. If you're someone who finds beauty in simple things, then you will like this hopper pattern. Nothing fancy, just some foam, a little flash, rubber legs and some deer hair. Now, add water and you're fishing! No floatant needed, this fly will float all day, just cast it into a likely spot, like near the stream bank where there is plenty of vegetation. Give it just a couple of little short jerks, let it rest, then some more little short jerks ( just enough to move the legs ) let rest again, and be ready. Trout love hoppers!

A nice simple little ant pattern. The wing on this fly is hair from the bottom of a Snow Shoe Hares foot adding to it floatation.

Offered in size 12

The Sheep Head series of bass streamers has become some of my favorite bass getters. They sink quickly, have good movement and enough flash to attract the attention of big bass and other warm water game fish. You can strip this streamer in fast keeping it on a fairly level path, or it can be fished slower in an up and down motion like a jig. Try different methods, In shallow areas you can use a floating line but in deeper water I recomend a sinking tip or full sinking line. Sizes#4,#6.

Sizes#4,#6.

This ten compartment box has 8 small and 2 large bins. Measures 6" x 3" x 1". Light wieght and clear enough to see your flies without opening the box. Great box for your dries, nymphs, wet flies and smaller streamers.

These leaders are made here in the shop. My favorite leader when fishing the small streams here in northern New Hampshire. Very strong and durable, these leaders have no memory, allowing them to lay down on the water flat every time. They are pre loaded with a 6 lb test leader attached with a loop to loop connection. These leaders pair well with rods in the 6 to 7.5 ft range
