Custom Tied Flies

Your source for Quality custom flies. Since I tie each myself I can guarantee their quality which absolutely no import junk bulk fly company can or will do. Fly patterns are slowly being added.

There are several things you can count on;

I use the highest possible quality of materials - i.e - all flies are tied on Tiemco hooks, dries are tied with Whiting hackle...
Each will be tied to exceed the quality of any bulk import fly on the market. Guaranteed.
Each is tied by myself. I do not claim to tie them myself and then sell you the junk imports that have taken over not only the internet, but also fly shops. Hold the body/hackle of an imported bulk fly firmly between your thumb and forefinger and twist - a well tied fly does not twist on the hook the way the one in your hand just did.
I am hyper-critical of each and every fly that comes out of my vise. Perfection is strived for in each custom tied fly.

Custom Fly Orders

I'm in the process of restructuring my fly pages and catalog. New flies are continuously added. When clicking on a fly, it takes you to full size pictures. If the pic says it is a #24, it is a #24 taken with a zoom lens.

You will notice that purveyors of foreign import flies do anything and everything to not, upfront tell you where exactly their flies come from. They must be ashamed not only of their product, but also the fact under what conditions they are produced. I won't insult your intelligence by saying a fly is "hand-tied." (is there another way to do it?) and I don't have to decieve and lie about where they come from.

Bruce writes: Hi Rich,

Here's a few pics from my recent fall fishing using your fine flies. That female Brown went 13.5 lbs, a length of 27.5" and girth of 20"

The Guarantee: If, after you use one you do not agree the fly is tied better or lasts longer than ANY commercial fly on the market - simply return the unused ones for a full refund and keep the one you used! Absolutely no commercial bulk fly company would even think of doing that! (Not Orvis, Not Umpqua, No-one) That is the custom-tied difference. Since I tie each myself I can assure the highest quality product.

A couple recent Feedbacks from Fly Orders

I'd like a grab bag assortment of woolies, just a random mix of 2 dozen. I probably caught and released 150 trout over 8 weekends with just your woolies, and those things just do not fall apart. Oh, and if you tie a mean matuka I'd like to see what you can come up with. Let me know how much and I'll get you money via paypal right away. Thanks again for being a rare source of quality workmanship in a sea of crappy import flies. Dave

Ever notice when you go to the stream or lake or..... there is always one guy that hammers 'em? All other things being equal, whether it's a $600 rod or $400 reel - the one difference is the fly. It is what the fish sees, the absolute most important part of your outfit, and if you don't think flies make a difference, why ever use a #24 when the difference between a #22 and a #24 is less than 1/64th of an inch?
