Fishing Report

This little foam pattern has been incredible for so many hatches. Winter stones, caddis, blue winged olives, even craneflies (skitter this across the surface!)

This is one of those weird patterns that just called to us as guides. The shine of peacock, low riding profile, a splash of color, and a high vis wing. It works all year long!

The hippie stomper has been one of the top producing “edible indicators” flies for us for a very, very long time. It works as a beetle or hopper on its own, and in the larger sizes, it is one of the best flies for a dry/dropper rig.

This pattern rides low in the surface film, giving a realistic silhouette, Add to that the messy wing, and you have a hatching, dead, and egg laying fly all in one. Definitely one of our go to caddis (any mayflies!) all season long

The perdigon style of fly has started to dominate trout boxes worldwide. They sink quickly, are super durable, and this one is purple. Do we need to say more?

Lots of sales and deals, as well as all the new Mr. Old Fashioned logo hats, shirts, mugs and more!

This glass bead leech has become a go to fishing right below the riffles, or in a tandem rig in deeper pools behind a heavy bead head (nymph with a leech dropper!). Lots of movement, lots of sparkle.

Super flashy, shiny beetle. Great to plop right next to the bank or below overhanging branches. Effective all summer long, but especially when the Japanese beetles are around.

One of our guide’s favorite do it all flies. It can be a caddis, or a mayfly, or a terrestrial, or even a cranefly. Great profile on the water, and easy to see with the hot spot wing.

Both of these flies are guide ‘go to’ flies. The brush hog has been one of the best producing flies for the entire time we have been here. The dark head Frenchie mimics a bit of everything. A jack of all trades driftless pattern.
