These are pages dedicated to the staple patterns I call my own, and maybe a couple patterns – like GameChangers – that aren’t mine but that I do specialize in tying. The drops will usually be various combinations of these flies, plus maybe some experimental ones from time to time that have passed the preliminary on-the-water tests. Some of these flies have tying tutorials, some do not. Some are available commercially from Montana Fly Co. and some you can only get from me. Check them out and let me know what you think!
