Our Featured Fly Patterns
These are the patterns that are matching the hatch on our streams and spring creeks this month.
Pattern Details
CDC Biot Dun BWO
The CDC Biot Dun is a productive, classic sailboat profile pattern we like to fish on local streams. The Wing sits high and rides like a natural adult mayfly.
Pattern Details
CDC Biot Emerger BWO
This is our BWO workhorse pattern on spring and fall afternoons. We fish these primarily on rainy and overcast afternoons during the thick of the hatch.
Pattern Details
CDC Captive Dun BWO
The CDC Captive Dun BWO is a great emerger option early in the hatch phase when fish are tailing and just beginning to target insects reaching the surface.
Pattern Details
CDC Cripple BWO
The CDC Cripple BWO is a fantastic fall/spring pattern that fishes well when trout become selective—when they're focused on knockdowns and insects stuck in the surface tension.
Pattern Details
CDC Dime Midge
The CDC Dime Midge is an adult pattern we fish from early November through the end of March. It's a fantastic high-vis option for winter trout up feeding through the heat of the day.
Pattern Details
Early November Selection
This pre-packaged selection of one dozen flies is focused on a common mix of dry and sub-surface trout patterns used on our area tailwater fisheries throughout early November.
Pattern Details
Glassy Micro Pupa
The Glassy Micro Pupa is a small subsurface pattern we like to fish throughout the year. It's great as a dropper under a larger dry or dead drifted under an indicator.
Pattern Details
Hanging Indicator Midge
The hanging indicator midge is a pattern we developed for aging eyes. It's has a great profile, a foam indicator and the right amount of flash for such a small pattern.
