FLIES TAILORED
FOR LOCAL WATERS
We offer small batches of custom hand-tied flies that are designed for our home waters. Built with function and durability in mind, each fly is made using premium, name-brand materials.
2” Body, Size 2 Wide Gap Hook, Articulated
A smaller profile that looks like an easy meal for a fat trout. Easy to cast, it's the perfect choice when a more subtle presentation is needed without sacrificing movement.
The darker the night, the darker the fly. The brighter the moon, the brighter the fly.

Trout love suckers, which means we do, too. Kill whitey was originally designed to mimic mountain whitefish for trophy brown trout. We’ve color adapted it for redhorse in the Midwest, or anywhere where a pop of color provokes.
This fly is equally at home in the mouths of pike; however, the back hook might struggle with musky.
Front Hook: Size 1
Back Hook: Size 2
Length: 6.5 inches

Had a local artist bring this one to life to rep the home waters—a nod to the local folklore of a hippo finding its way into one of our rivers, and now a fitting symbol of the discerning biggin’ we’re all chasing.

We’re only selling two of these. So, get yours before they’re gone.
Whether inland or Great Lakes, trout love baitfish, big bugs, and eggs. This box capitalizes on these desires by doubling down on food sources available to Great Lakes migratory trout, and our research shows they can’t get enough of them. The darter omelet is an incredibly versatile fly. Float it under a large Oros indicator through long, deep runs, or quarter down and across with a slow swing and jig. Come up to a riffle spilling into a drop off at the head of a bend, and simply take off the indicator and tight line the fly through. Sight fishing in shallow conditions? Tight line them right through their lane and watch them turn heads. Twitching across pools is also very effective.
For northern tributaries, we’ve included egg sucking stones, leaches, and chartreuse caddis larva. Together, these flies allow you to fish any water type in most conditions, from low and clear to high and dirty. All flies are tied with tungsten beads ranging from 4-5.5mm to get you down into the zone and stay there.
