New Fly Patterns

Head over to the Flies For Sale page to check out some new patterns that are now available for purchase. I have included some great new original patterns that I have been fishing lately in The Park and some old standards with a C.L. Hull touch to em'.

The first pattern I added was actually two different patterns. The black McAnt and the Candy Apple McAnt. I started tying the black McAnt in response to wanting an ant pattern that was visible, without having a ridiculously large looking indicator post on it. I just wanted a realistic ant that was not ridiculous looking. So I came up with this thing:

Black McAnt

Simplicity at it's best. This thing has been killing em' too. At The Park and Boulder Creek. 

But one day while I had a client using these ants and pounding trout, I was sitting bank side and noticed a bunch of black and red ants. So that night I went to the fly tying table, and came up with this thing in response:

Candy Apple McAnt

The next day, it took my client all of 15 minutes to convince me that this one might be better, at least that day. My client killed it. He got over 75 bites up at Glacier with this ant pattern. I also had one day in particular up on Boulder Creek where it was getting a bite on almost every cast. Crazy. The picture does no liberty as to how beautiful this fly is. Once I tied it, I wanted to eat it. It really does look like trout candy. And the great thing is that both of these patterns do just as well on top as they do submerged. 

Here are some other new patterns that are available for purchase now on the Flies For Sale page.
