2/3 Introduction 12/20/21 3:01 PM Page 1

We’ve got the most popular website in the world of fly fishing, but continue to do business the

old-fashioned way

When anyone here at The Fly Shop® answers your phone call, your e-mail, or any of your fly fishing tackle, fly selection, fly tying, or fly fishing travel questions, they know what they’re talking about! W E A R E O L D - F A S H I O N E D , and still send catalogs to the ﬂy ﬁsher-

men who have done business with us in the past. Not surprisingly, the single most common request we get on-line is for a printed copy of the digital version that’s sent every year by e-mail to nearly 10% of the entire world of fly fishermen. In fact, our catalogs and website have been driving fly fishermen in our direction for more than 44 years. But what’s made us and kept us successful (despite Amazon, E-Bay, and intense internet competition), and what’s built us into the top retail and angling travel company in our sport is the talented team of friendly, knowledgeable experts who have been here since 1978 to answer questions honestly, offer good advice, and deliver good, old-fashioned service. Nearly every fly fishing operation in America sells a lot of the same stuff. But what they don’t all have are people who know what they’re talking about. What has set us apart from others in the business, is the fact that the entire staff here at The Fly Shop® are fly fishing professionals and expert in every aspect of our sport. When anyone here at The Fly Shop® answers your phone call, responds to your e-mail, or any of your fly fishing, fly selection, fly tying, guide service, or travel questions you can count on it being honest and accurate.

Not every fly fisherman we know ties flies. But every one of the fly tiers we are acquainted with gets an annual copy of The Fly Shop’s 48-page, product and information-packed fly tying magazine. s Most of America’s fly fishermen focus on their local angling and don’t often travel far with their tackle. That’s been particularly true since the onset of the pandemic. But for the guys who are interested in terrific fly fishing in the Rockies, tarpon in the Florida Keys, Alaska’s rainbows and salmon, the lure of the Everglades, Louisiana redfishing, steelheading in Canada, or our terrific fly rodding destinations in Northern California, The Fly Shop® has a new magazine dedicated to fly fishing travel destinations in North America. s Of course we’ve got a world-famous magazine on-line and in print for those fly fishermen with an international passport that’s burning a hole in their pocket – and a portfolio that includes the most respected fly fishing lodges, guides, and outfitters on planet Earth. s This year and next, we’ll be sending several specialty publications that’ll include a new Fly Fishing Guide to the Bahamas, Fly Fishing in the Jungle, and a new series of indepth brochures on Tierra del Fuego, Chile & Argentina, Fishing Alaska with a Fly, and other informative, special interest destinations. s

If you’re interested in any of the Fly Shop’s other catalogs, magazines, or specialty travel brochures, write, call, or log onto our website and let us know!

McCloud River

Y22 P004-5_Outfitters_Intro.qxp_04/Pps.

2/3 Introduction 12/20/21 3:03 PM Page 2

Home of the most celebrated and well-traveled trout on Earth W O R L D O F T R O U T fishing owes a great debt to the McCloud River and a few intrepid, Eastern-bred, fish culturalists who built a small hatchery on Campbell Creek (a tiny tributary of the river) and began sending rainbow trout eggs and fry by way of a San Francisco Bay hatchery to the rest of the rivers and streams on the planet. What these men didn’t know about trout has since been proven to be far greater than what they understood. They had failed in multiple attempts to send and establish king salmon in those rivers feeding the North Atlantic. But they knew enough to effectively jumpstart the distribution of their rainbows from the Campbell Creek Hatchery on the McCloud (which now lies deep below Shasta Lake) to practically every river and stream in the Rocky Mountain states, as well as Canada, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, and Australia.

THE

Most of the rainbow trout found in the continental United States and the rest of the world (with the exception of Alaska and Kamchatka) can trace their origin to a small hatchery on the McCloud River just north of Redding. It is also the genetic ancestors of those same coveted McCloud River rainbows that provided the brood stock for the monster trout found in Argentina’s Lago Verde (Jurassic Lake) – proving that all these fish need is food and habitat to flourish. In fact, most of the rainbow trout in the world (beyond Kamchatka and the Pacific states) can trace their origins to the McCloud River. That’s right. Just like all the Californians who have found new homes in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and elsewhere, resident rainbows from the Golden State are the trout filling the rivers of Patagonia, Alberta, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and nearly every other habitable, fish-friendly continent on Earth.

The Fly Shop’s Guide Service & Private Waters F I S H I N G N E A R R E D D I N G is excellent nearly every day of

the year. Depending on the time of season, fly fishermen can target rainbow trout, browns, brookies, steelhead, spotted bass, largemouth, smallmouth, stripers, or shad. Certainly we have the occasional winter storm but, on the average, our guides are out there having fun with clients more than 300 days of each calendar year. The Fly Shop’s team has been developing our 1 Private Waters concept for nearly forty years. We’ve

The Fly Shop’s got the handle on our local N. California ﬁshing and our Guide Service does it all! Rainbow Trout

Most of the best fly fishing in Northern California is within an hour of The Fly Shop’s front door. We are lucky to have literally hundreds of miles of local public trout and steelhead waters, and exclusive access to some private regional angling destinations. In fact, The Fly Shop® is the only guide service holding permits for Shasta, Trinity, Six Rivers, and Klamath National Forest lands, and every watershed administered by the Bureau of Land Management. We do it all, and we do it well!

T H E F L Y F I S H I N G in our backyard is fantas-

tic and a day on the water with one of the guides on our team is the perfect way to learn the local water and improve your skills. Whether from a drift boat or raft, the techniques our guides have developed and refined over the years, along with their specialized knowledge of the waters in and around Redding, will ensure that fly fishers of all skill levels enjoy a productive and fun experience.

Our guides are local experts who live here in Redding or nearby. They’re all year-round professionals, not part-timers, from out of the area, out of state, or out-of-school for the summer. Many of these guys have been with us for decades and, to a large degree, they have been responsible for putting our outstanding regional fishing on the fly fishing map.

Some members of our team focus on drift trip techniques for trout and steelhead, others pride themselves helping clients solve the intricacies of our freestone angling or spring creek riddles. They’re all skilled and passionate in every aspect of their vocation and try to ensure that every day on the water is as educational, enjoyable, and as action-packed as possible. s Full-day Guided Trips $550

Guided Drift Boat Trips with The Fly Shop® Fall River

is renowned for prolific hatches, and as the birthplace of many of today’s best known spring creek patterns. It is Western selective trout fishing at its finest. Our guides use quiet, low-profile motorized prams custom-tailored for the experience.

Trinity River is home to incredible returns

of steelhead each fall and winter, and is the go-to destination for dedicated steelhead addicts and anglers wanting to tie into their first ever sea-going rainbow.

The Klamath River from the mouth of

the river upstream for about 15 miles is accessed exclusively by jet boat. Upstream there are rapids, rocks, and rugged terrain that is more appropriate for McKenzie-style drift boats. In both situations all the fly fishing is done while wading, and anglers use the boats only for transportation from one productive spot to another.

Val Atkinson photo

The Lower Sacramento between Shasta Dam and Red Bluff is a year ‘round trout fishery and the

starting line for most of the angling begins only a rifle shot from our parking lot.We’re blessed with a temperate climate, a couple of warm mid-summer months, a spectacular spring and fall, and a pleasant, brief winter. Our guides use drift boats to cover approximately 50 miles of the broad, rainbow trout-filled river. Steelhead become a target each fall and a chance to chase fish in relative solitude with either a single-hand or spey rod.

Walk & Wade Guided Trips on Nearby Rivers Hat Creek

is renowned for great hatches, selective rainbows and an experience that is a classic chess game of spring creek fly fishing. This is where a quality guide will definitely help anglers accelerate the learning curve.

The McCloud River

rainbows are unquestionably the most famous trout on Earth, and its hefty browns are a reward for the angler willing to walk into the rugged river canyon water. Spring, mid-summer and fall angling on this famous freestone river is excellent and the scenery is superb all season.

Pit River

is notorious for tough wading and broad-shouldered rainbows. It’s now open year round, with a new flow regime that makes it well worth exploring in the winter months. Ideal flows this summer season should translate into easy, season-long access to the entire river.

Upper Sacramento

is a favorite walkand-wade stream featuring classic pocket water, riffles, and pools. Nearly 40 miles of it is easily accessible from the Interstate. With all the access, it’s still simple to find solitude. The river is open year ‘round, and fishes best from May through December.

America Rediscovered the Great Outdoors Faced with the new normal, social distancing, vaccine mandates, politics, and all the travel limitations, fly fishermen in North America are finding a great deal more solace in the rivers and angling close to home! The newest angling travel division of The Fly Shop® is completely dedicated to the promotion of the finest North American lodges, camps and outfitters. F O R T H E P A S T T W O S U M M E R S , and for the first time in several

generations, our America’s rivers, lakes, streams, and backwoods campgrounds have been filled with fishermen, campers, and outdoorsmen. The slow lane on the nation’s highways and freeways were lined with RV’s and the national parks that have been selectively opened to the public during the COVID pandemic are enjoying standing room only crowds. There is, in fact, a virtual renaissance in all forms of outdoor recreation. The world of fly fishing is no exception. When faced with four walls that were closing in, veteran anglers dusted off tackle that had been ignored for decades and joined a legion of new, novice fly rodders on rivers, streams, lakes and ponds already busy with fishermen whose airline travel plans had been shattered and who were staying closer to home.

What many found was a renewed joy and a rejuvenated appreciation for the water closer to home, water that originally ignited their passion for fly fishing. Anglers, young and old, turned a cold shoulder to international airline travel and took to the open road. Instead of Argentina, Kamchatka, Chile, or the Caribbean, fly rodders instead headed in record numbers to the Rockies for trout, Louisiana for redfish, or Florida for tarpon. Many of those anglers turned in the direction of The Fly Shop® for guidance and adding a portfolio of great domestic fly fishing destinations was simple. We have, after all, (as avid lifelong anglers) been to all these spots. At the same time, we’ve been very selective in our recommendations, and included only what we feel are the finest of North America’s fly fishing lodges, guides, and outfitters.

Featured in the first issues are: s

Alaska

Lava Creek Lodge Ar ian Stevens photo

Our selection of Alaska lodges & camps will put you right in the middle of the action

A F T E R O U R F I R S T half dozen visits to Alaska, we realized we’d never be experts on the place. Each successive visit drove that point home, giving us an ever-increasing appreciation for how magnificent the state is, how much there was to learn, and how elusive it was going to be to actually achieve “expert” status. Collectively, the travel staff here at The Fly Shop® has owned Alaska lodges, guided there, and we’ve outfitted thousands of fly fishermen for their trips north. It’s fair to say The Fly Shop® has spent as much or more time exploring Alaska’s fishing as anyone in the world of angling travel. Now, after more than four decades we remain as passionate about, and as fascinated by Alaska as the day we first arrived. We know, too, that accurate representation of Alaska fly fishing requires more than a few visits to a few different lodges or camps. There are hundreds of Alaska fishing operations and every one of them will tell you their place is absolutely the best. Obviously, only a few of them can be right.

w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

We are, arguably, the most experienced angling travel firm in the business and we know what the “best” in Alaska is all about. Our wealth of knowledge translates into a very firm grasp of the top trout and salmon fishing opportunities in our 49th state and a degree of objectivity that travelling anglers won’t find elsewhere. We’ve been proving that we know what we’re talking about, and that we’re in your corner for more than forty years. With our help and the benefit of our experience and unbiased opinion, anyone choosing an Alaska fishing lodge or camp will have a better understanding of the differences between all these places and end up with a better trip. We work every day with anglers from all walks of life to build terrific fishing trips that fit their budgets and their interests. When anglers work with us, they get our objective opinion. That help doesn’t cost an extra dime. In fact, none of the fly fishing lodge packages we offer can be found anywhere else in the world for less.

Choosing from among the finest fly fishing lodges & camps in Alaska A L A S K A I S L A R G E R than Texas, Montana, and California com-

bined. The state sells over 237,000 out-of-state fishing licenses each year and another 315,000-plus to residents. Fishing there is legendary and the understandable focal point for every serious trout fisherman at some time in his or her life. But, as any Alaskan will tell you, if there’s a road to any river in the state, it’ll be as crowded as any spot in the lower 48. The solution is to add a plane to your tool kit, as Alaska is full of fly-in lodges that cater to anglers. Every one of those places will tell you they’re “the best.” Of course, only a few are correct.

The Fly Shop® travel team is the recognized authority on Alaska fly fishing, and we have a terrific portfolio of lodges and camps, with something for everyone. They represent a wonderful cross-section of Alaskan fly fishing geography, cover a wide assortment of angling interests and a broad range of price options. Alaska is currently one of the hottest places on the angling map for US fly fishing travelers, as it is relatively effortless to access, boasts a treasure trove of true wilderness, and has world-class angling. Because of this, available space at lodges in 2022 is disappearing very quickly, so we suggest reserving space now!

THE FLY SHOP’S TOP CHOICES IN

Chile & Argentina THE

F LY

S H O P ® has been part of the

cutting-edge of South American fly fishing for more than 35 years and our experienced travel staff has spent a collective lifetime exploring Patagonia. Our first forays to Chile, nearly four decades ago, took us to the historic Lake District near Puerto Montt, made famous by Joe Brooks and Ernie Schweibert in the 1960’s. From there we expanded our search for great fishing south beyond the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego. Now, with nearly forty years of experience under our belt, we’re pretty confident that The Fly Shop® staff knows more about fly fishing in Latin America than any other angling travel agent in the business. We’ve chosen the lodges, guides, and the outfitters we work with carefully and done our homework, so you don’t have to. Many of the outfitters we work with are those same pioneers who opened the Latin American fly fishing frontier. Often, we were there to help them. Together we brought the first float plane to Chile and explored the uncharted angling of its rugged Patagonia coastline for rainbows and sea trout. The Fly Shop® was instrumental in helping develop the great fishing of Aisen, far south of Puerto Montt. And most veteran Patagonia fly fishermen would agree that The Fly Shop® portfolio of lodges, guides, and outfitters is the finest in all of South America. We continue to visit most destinations each year and keep our finger on the pulse, remaining intimately familiar not only with each of the exclusive operations we represent, but all of the other fishing destinations around the globe. We’ve been proving for forty-four years that there’s no one better prepared or more capable of helping plan a successful fly fishing holiday in Chile or Argentina than the travel experts at The Fly Shop®.

South America’s Best We’ve been to every one of these places and worked with most of these lodges, outfitters and guides for decades. They represent a terrific cross-section of the Patagonia fly fishing geography, a broad range of price options and a wide variety of different angling experiences. Each and every one of the lodges and outfitters we represent has been fully vetted by our staff. They’re, hands down, the top-rated sportfishing destinations in all of Patagonia.

The help doesn’t cost a dime. In fact, none of the fishing lodge packages we offer can be found anywhere else in the world for less.

L a g u n a Ve r d e p h o t o

Patagonia is a faraway world of gauchos and estancias, where Christmas comes in the middle of the summer, the night sky is full of stars that can’t be seen from home, and their hard to pronounce rivers and lakes are full of California’s rainbow trout ! T H E T R O U T F O U N D in Chile and Argentina are descendants of eggs and

smolt delivered to Bariloche from the McCloud River over ninety years ago. Though transplanted from California hatcheries, these were wild fish in every sense of the word – and they were met with a near-perfect environment; no predators, ideal altitude, a temperate climate, an unlimited, incredibly rich food source, and ice cold water. Soon afterward they were joined by European brown trout, brook trout, and a smattering of Atlantic salmon. Sport fishing for these species was not then a part of the native tradition or Latin American culture and the fish were left unmolested by anglers for decades. It wasn’t until air travel came of age in mid-twentieth century that European and North American fishermen became aware of the phenomenal fisheries, full of trout, that flowed east and west from the Andes to the Atlantic and Pacific in a part of the world called Patagonia. Now, nearly seventy years after Joe Brooks and the early angling pioneers introduced the fishing community to Chile and Argentina, trout fishing there remains an enigma. Many of the best rivers of Patagonia remain isolated, difficult to access without drift boats, rafts, 4WD, or are often behind locked gates. Like many of our own best North American streams, if it’s public and easy to reach, it’s probably been hammered. And only after both countries recognized the tourist value of the resource were protective regulations adopted and enforced. w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

Each of the three great Patagonia fishing regions on the Argentine side of the Andes (San Martin de los Andes, Bariloche and Esquel) are unique, and has its own menu of fishing and accommodation options. The most popular Argentine angling itineraries usually involve a few days of fishing at one of the most famous fly fishing estancias, a combination of a few days at a couple of those elegant lodges, or a few days at an estancia along with floating and camping on some remote Patagonia river. Working together with our outfitters, we can help arrange for float trips, overnight (or multiple night) camping trips, along with hotel reservations dovetailing with your angling holiday. Guides provide the transportation and move from estancia to estancia, camp, or float trip (depending on the itinerary) with their anglers There are fewer rivers, lodges, and guides on the western slope of the cordillera. But what the Chilean experience lacks in numbers, it makes up for in quality. Few destinations on the world’s trout fishing map can compare with the level of service, the diversity, or the cultural experience that accompanies the often fabulous fly fishing that is synonomous with all of the lodges, guides, and outfitters we’ve been working with in Chile for decades.

Brazil’s Peacock Bass

This is fast becoming one of the most popular facets of fly fishing! Unlike largemouths, the bigger these bass, (actually they’re cichlids) the stronger and more full of fight. At some locations the numbers of fish are phenomenal. At others, the size and strength of the average fish are off the charts. And at all of our superb peacock bass lodges and motherships, the quality of the trip (lodging, guides, food) is terrific.

The Dorado of Bolivia & Argentina Give us a call for more information or reservations. We’ve been making fly fishing dreams come true for 44 years!

Considered by many veteran anglers to stack up as the most ferocious gamefish in freshwater, these critters eat each other, eat their young, and are at the top of the food chain in the jungle rivers of Argentina and the Bolivian Amazon.

African Tigerfish

Hands down, this two-river Tanzania operation rates absolutely as the most exciting freshwater fly fishing experience in the Eastern Hemisphere. These trophy-sized, toothy predators inhabit the clear water of the Mnyera and Ruhudji rivers in equatorial Africa, and the team here at The Fly Shop classifies this destination as one of the top fly fishing experiences in the world.

Russia’s Atlantic Salmon

When the kola peninsula first opened to western anglers in the 90’s, it was the most significant milestone in the history of Atlantic Salmon fishing. No matter the yardstick, the size, or the numbers (not to mention the cultural aspect) – there is no other Atlantic Salmon fishery on Earth that compares.

Arapaima in the Amazon Photo cour tesy of Fly Castaway

Sight fishing for these monsters (averaging over 100 pounds, but up to 9 feet long and weighing as much as 400 pounds) is way up the list of new jungle experiences for the fly rodder. Three days is perfect and an experience easily combined with any Brazilian peacock destinations. phone

Freshwater Fly Rods

Quality, Economy & Performance

F L Y S H O P ’ S F R E S H H 2 O F L Y R O D S were designed to allow both the veteran fly fisherman and the every day anglers the ability to deliver the fly accurately and without a lot of effort, while forgiving inadvertent mistakes that are common in the casting stroke. These models are a baby step away from the ultra-fast trend and a slight shift toward a smooth, forgiving action that doesn’t require a sophisticated, fine-tuned sense of timing to deliver flies and best suits most anglers. Our Fresh H2O rods began to take shape when we became disillusioned with the direction that the top brands in the sport were going with their fly rod actions - faster and faster rods that tossed a tight loop for a mile in the hands of an expert, but were inappropriate for the less than expert fly fisherman. At that point, we teamed up one of the top rod manufacturers in the business and developed our own Fresh H2O fly rods by simply reverse-engineering and duplicating the most popular graphite, angler-friendly action that has ever been used on a trout stream. We took our time, spending three years tinkering with and field-testing dozens of prototypes before we made our choices and allowed The Fly Shop® logo to be printed on the first, new, emerald-green blanks. Since then we’ve added subtle improvements each season to the graphite and components without changing the essential action or our model names. At the same time we’ve reduced, instead of increasing, our prices each year. The latest iteration of Fresh H2O rods are a marriage of modern graphite materials and design that compensate for common errors and a less than expert casting stroke. It’s a rod that loads with very little line beyond the tip, and still has the cojones to turn over a long leader or deliver distance. When you put this rod to the test, you’ll discover, as several thousand of our fly fishing customers have, that it’s equal to other famous branded fly rods out there, and carries a price tag that’s just a fraction of what is hanging on comparable quality fly rods.

We’ve spent 44 years building our reputation, and 14 of them building ﬂy rods. Just like The Fly Shop®, these rods deliver everything we promise!

will protect light tippet on the strike and during the battle and don’t behave like steelhead rods, while our steelhead rods have all the power you’ll need to pack the mail and an action that will deliver flies as far as necessary. Our Sacramento River rod is a 6 weight, and the best all ‘round nymph and dry fly rod in the line up. This model is powerful enough for streamers, yet delicate enough for most dry fly fishing.

The Hat Creek & Fall River models are both ninefoot, 4 and 5 weight rods that are just right for most freshwater rivers, streams and stillwater situations. They have enough muscle to cover broad, western spring creeks and employ the very “forgiving” actions that naturally open up the loop, help turn over long leaders, and have exactly the kind of action that will deliver dry flies and smaller nymphs accurately in all but the worst of winds.

The Trinity & Mad River models are virtual wrist rockets with powerful actions and enough muscle to make tossing a tight loop to the horizon a lot easier. Both rods have fighting butts.

QUALITY EQUIPMENT FOR ECONOMY-MINDED FLY FISHERMEN

Signature Series H2O Fly Rods Signature H2O rods for the anglers who have dialed in their casting stroke T H E S E H A N D S O M E R O D S employ a more expensive, higher modulus graphite

than our Fresh H2O models (featured on pages 10-11). Those differences translate into a fly rod with a moderately faster action that’s better matched for experienced anglers who have a more refined, practiced, casting skills. These high performance rods employ what was once called “reserve power” – a resilience that’ll drive the line a little farther, help toss the line into the teeth of a stiff wind, or handle a larger dry fly or big streamer when extra power is applied.

All four of our Signature H2O fly rod models sport components that are a step up from our Fresh H2O fly rods. All of the Signature rods feature handsome Buckeye hardwood reel inserts and more expensive components than you’ll find on comparably-priced rods. They also feature a dark, non-glare finish that won’t spook fish. T h e F l y S h o p ’s S i g n a t u r e H 2 O F l y R o d s Model

What Scott did to build the new Centric was first develop revolutionary new rolling equpment (the machines that turn flat sheets of graphite into rod blanks) to allow them to control graphite fiber placement and manipulate the density of material. Then Scott incorporated a new resin to precisely bond the increased density of the fibers, and simultaneously created a stronger, lighter, and more stable rod. The end result is the creation of four weights that cast like they should – light and delicate at close range, but with enough power buried in the rod to turn over long leaders and flies at exceptional distances. Perfect spring creek rods. Using the same logic and technology, they packed progressively more power into the Centric five, six, and seven weight freshwater models at exactly the points in each of these fantastic freshwater rod models where it’s necessary.

G Series 4-Piece Rod Models

Scott’s G Series

model dates back to 1976, the year Scott changed the market with the first-ever 9 foot 4 weight fly rod. The new G Series rods looks and acts a bit like the original model. Sensitive, but with an exponential elevation of performance and performance is what it’s all about. At the end of the day, the skilled craftsmen in Montrose have delivered a smooth-casting rod that may be the best trout fishing tool ever made.

Centric rods feature more than technology and are one of the top rods ever to grace a rod rack! The cork is absolutely excellent, and the components include slick titanium SiC stripping guides, custom burl box elder reel seat inserts and Scott’s patented Universal snake guides.

2/3 Introduction 12/20/21 3:22 PM Page 2

High performance saltwater fly rods Scott has developed an award-winning new generation of big game and saltwater ﬂy rods! S I G N I F I C A N T A D V A N C E S in fly fishing technology, whether it’s rods, reels, waders, fly lines, or clothing don’t happen very often. The advent of graphite was, of course, a great leap forward for the sport. Every move forward from that point – higher and higher modulus, boron fibers, nano resins, and other evolutions were baby steps in comparison. At this point it’s the creative application of already existing knowledge that usually makes headlines in fly fishing. So it was with Scott’s Carbon Web design and the creation of their Sector Fly Rods. It was the culmination of a series of small steps, new materials, tapers, and engineering that’s given saltwater anglers a reason to be excited!

Scott’s Carbon Web technology improves torsional stability and rod durability by encasing unidirectional fibers in a web of ultra-light multi-directional carbon fiber. These fibers help counteract torsional forces giving you better tracking and power for long-line pickups and redirecting casts. They also help to reduce micro fractures from stress or impact. Expressed in English: These blanks are stonger, yet lighter, have more power, are more durable, and track better. With Carbon Web combined with ReAct, Scott has created a new kind of rod allowing the angler to hold more line in the air, lift more line off the water with less effort, and the ability to redirect a cast more easily when a fish is on the move.

The award-winning Sector saltwater fly rods

Scott’s goal with the Sector was to create the best saltwater & big game fly rod that’s ever been made. They began by bundling all of their technology into one model rod, then added the most cutting edge fly rod components imaginable. Imagine a rod that casts tight, high line speed loops with less effort and can turn over a leader straight into the wind; a rod that delivers the fly on target with just one false cast, and can pick it back up and redirect if the fish changes course; a rod that is intuitive so you can focus on the fish instead of your cast; a rod that feels light and alive in your hand and has the touch and feel needed to make short quick shots. We’ve used these rods this year in Mexico for bonefish, permit, tarpon and snook.We took them to Louisiana for redfish and to Alaska for silvers.They went with us to Bolivia for Dorado and to Brazil for tackle-busting, monster peacock. The Sector rods we used performed far better than we expected and, after all the hype, we expected a lot. And until Scott (or someone else) comes out with something better, it’s going to be the first fly rod we pack for the saltwater, the jungle, and any other big game fishing. s All Sector rods are fitted with the appropriate fighting butt extension s Reel seats are milled from aircraft aluminum with self-indexing slide hoods s CeRecoil stripping guides with nickel-titanium frames and Zirconia inserts s “Fluor” grade cork grips and a modified Wells grip s All of these rods are hand-crafted entirely in America!

Winston AIR Saltwater Fly Rods Built light, powerful, and able to deliver T H E N E W E S T rod in the Winston line-up is unlike any action they have ever offered before. Air Saltwater rods are built for those long shots from the front of the skiff that have to be made in a hurry and will help deliver big tarpon, redfish, and permit flies into the teeth of a wind. These saltwater specialty rods feature the first combination of modern nano-resin technology and Winston’s carbon fibers. The result is an ultra-fast action and a quick recovery rate that translates into the tight loops and powerful, precise casts. Although nano-technology is new territory for Winston, they’ve preserved enough of that classic “Winston” feel to satisfy purists looking for more advanced gear, lighter weight, and precision, but unwilling to sacrifice a smooth casting stroke.

flies accurately at any distance! s Chrome titanium colored snake guides with nanolite stripping guides to eliminate as much weight as possible and transmit energy. s Charcoal anodized, engraved reel seats to ensure these rods will continue to look good after years of boat washings and tropical sun rays. s Advanced carbon fiber combined with SuperSilica resin for improved toughness and durability. s Hard chrome titanium guides designed to allow the line to be closer to the blank providing better line control. s Winston’s beautiful “Stealth” matte green finish. s 11⁄2˝ fighting butt extension.

Model

Truly great fly rods for all occasions and all anglers The X rod’s fast action taper built with their Konnetic HD Technology delivers a new generation in rod blank recovery and a crisper tip stop – creating tight, efficient loops throughout all ranges of casting styles. This taper allows you to dig deeper into the rod and access the power closer to the lower command center. Then, decreased lateral and medial movement and vibrations in the blank result in more accurate and more efficient presentation. It’s all the result of a performance driven, forgiving, fast action blank – refining the synergy between angler, the rod, the line, and the fly. s

Sage’s Konnectic HD technology improves the transfer of energy from the loading point. So, these rods are stable, don’t ‘shudder’ and casts are accurate. These powerful fly rods will reach further, respond more quickly and delicately, help you deliver flies where they’re supposed to go, and catch more fish. s

Tenkara Revolution

テンカラ

Ours is a sport limited by it’s resources. As they diminish our angling focus narrows and the obvious turn is, to small streams, small fish, and lighter tackle. We’re re-defining our pleasure and what makes a great day of fly fishing. That’s where Tenkara comes in! J A P A N E S E D I D N ’ T invent fly fishing. Similar styles were used all over the world. But, in their small mountain streams they didn’t need long casts, and small fish make no long runs.So, there was no need to abandon traditional tackle after reels were invented. Instead they refined Tenkara. What remains is still only a rod with a line tied to the tip and a fly and, like many things Japanese, they do a great job of marrying technology, and tradition. Modern Tenkara rods are made of high modulus graphite, lighter and stronger than the bamboo predecessors.They’re telescopic and extremely compact when collapsed. Fully extended, Tenkara rods range from 10 to 15 feet long. Latest Tenkara lines are furled, tapered, and made of high-tech materials. They’re lighter than the lightest fly lines New technology allows the angler to keep most of the line off the water, reducing drag and improving presentation.

WE’VE

S E L E C T E D four great packages to help you get started in the world of Tenkara. The differences are mostly length and action – how flexible they are and how appropriate they might be for where and how you plan to fish. Each package include a hand-crafted, single strand fly line and a 3mm. nickel alloy tippet ring. The lines are level, yet turn flies over as well or better than any mono lines made. The braided line is useful in the different types of water you’ll be faced with as you learn the sport. As Tenkara anglers move from spot to spot, they spool their line to keep it from snagging on branches or obstructions. The winding spools in our packages allow for simple and easy traveling to and between your fishing destinations. We’ve included three excellent, traditional. Tenkara-type flies to begin your journey, though proven flies appropriate for the destination are recommended.

Tenkara’s Rocky

The lightest and shortest Tenkara rod in our line-up absolutely maximizes the pleasure you’ll get from small fish and tight, tiny streams. 10´ long, the Sierra is a sure bet for narrow, brush-lined streams.

Much more powerful than many Tenkara-type rods, the Rocky is built using very high modulus graphite and intended for carp, salmon, sea trout, and big fish. Fully extended, it’s 14´ 6˝ long with a swivel tip to minimize line tangle. The stronger, faster action handles bigger fish without sacrificing the ultra-light, Tenkara-style touch that makes this kind of fishing such fun.

The Fly Shop’s Signature Fly Reels Our

L2A Fly Reels

are in a class by themselves!

They’ve got a super-smooth, ultra-reliable drag that’s sensitive enough to protect fine tippet, yet strong enough to stop any fish in freshwater right in its tracks. There isn’t a better fly reel made or sold anywhere else at a better price.

The L2A reel is made for fish that want to bust you off. That’s when the friction-free spin of our L2A spool and precision-machined L2A frame and perfectly matched spool is going to make a difference. L2A reels are made for actual situations when anglers don’t have time to think about the reel. The Fly Shop’s L2A reels uses a durable, sensitive, and nearly infallible drag and spindle design system with 34 drag settings that will handle any imaginable freshwater fishing situation. Its a drag that is now common to dozens of other reels in the industry, and one that has proven to perform flawlessly in the most demanding freshwater situations s s s s s

Fully machined from T-6061 aircraft aluminum Quick change, inexpensive spools Super-sensitive drag Easily adapted to left or right hand wind retrieve Completely anodized for strength and durability

The Fly Shop’s L2A reels are tailored for those times when the fish you’re after strikes, you have set the hook, and the fun starts. Suddenly, terms like ‘low start up inertia’ mean your tippet is still intact and the fish you’ve been searching for is still there. You might still have to worry about possible wind knots and think about the strength of that tippet and some other stuff. But with an L2A reel on your rod, it’s performance will be the least of your concerns. The L2A reel is the most popular fly reel we’ve ever had here at The Fly Shop® and features a price tag that has made it one of the top values in fly fishing tackle. Model

Galvan Rush LT Reel

There are sexier reels. There are lighter reels. But there aren’t any reels that offer the sheer dependability and functionality that these fully machined drag reels have at this price. Rush LT reels can handle anything thrown at them. They were the predecessor to Galvan’s higher end Torque reel, feature the same composite disc drag, and are essentially the same high quality but with simpler, slightly heavier porting pattern. In fact, the Galvan Rush LT spools fit perfectly on the Torque frame - and Torque spools will marry the Rush frame. The extensive additional porting, machining, and polishing on the Torque models reduce weight and add ventilation, but also considerable expense.

Abel Sealed Drag Reels a new standard in fresh and saltwater reels In the 1980’s Steve Abel set a new benchmark in saltwater reels when he introduced the Abel Big Game Series. It was the most coveted saltwater reel of the era and was found on the rod in the hands of nearly every serious tarpon and big game fly fisherman. At least the ones who could afford them. The newest iteration of quality and performance from Abel is their totally re-engineered Sealed Drag Series, which features a unique, completely sealed, multi-disc braking system that’s powerful, reliable, smooth, and capable of taking on both fresh and saltwater gamefish. SDS (saltwater) versions have all the power needed to halt a hard-fighting tarpon in it’s tracks.

Satin Blue (one of 33 solid colors)

Peacock Bass (one of 8 Legacy colors)

The lightweight SDF (freshwater) models have virtually zero startup inertia, an enormous amount of drag, and three times the adjustment range of its predecessors. They’re just perfect for fighting trophy trout on light tippet. Abel Sealed Drag Reels are available in a variety of colors and graphic designs. Some resemble the markings of fish species and all are created individually by the Abel art department. If there are more beautiful reels made, we haven’t seen them. The reels are identical and the complexity of the finish determines its price. They take equipment to a new level in capturing the essence of our sport and are the perfect reel for the angler who won’t settle for anything but the best.

Ross has been making reels in America since 1973

Ross started in a little California town just north of Redding.Their motto “made on the water” became accentuated with the company’s move to Colorado and their commitment to design and innovation has resulted in some of the best fly reels on the market today!

Ross Evolution LTX Reels

Ross has reinvented one of the best trout reels made, and the Evolution LTX is now lighter, faster and offers a sealed drag 4 times stronger than its predecessor. Everything has been thought of with this reel design from an arbor knot channel that enables smooth backing loading hiding arbor knots, a Micarta handle made from a canvas phenolic rod adding durability and increased grip when wet. The LTX is a top of the line freshwater reel, and a solid choice for light saltwater applications. It is not only a great trout reel but has the power to take on redfish, bonefish, or snook, and is built to last for many enjoyable seasons to come.

Nautilus NV-G High Performance Saltwater Fly Reels

These fine fly fishing tools are designed and built by a family of master machinists who have been crafting superb fly fishing equipment for more than seven generations! No sand, no gravel, no snow, no fresh or saltwater, and no tropical heat or freezing temperature will affect their performance. They’ve been The Fly Shop® staff’s top fresh and saltwater high-performance fly fishing reel since the turn of the century, and been proven tougher than any steelhead, taimen, tarpon, bonefish, permit, peacock bass, or redfish we’ve ever met. The NV-G is a reel with an infallible drag system that we’ve never seen, or even heard of disappointing. s s s s s s s s

Available with right or left hand retrieve The lightest, most powerful reels in their class Absolutely zero maintenence drag and reel Each model spool holds plenty of backing Available with right or left hand retrieve Easily changeable, palming-rim spools Brushed titanium or black anodized Special order colors available on our website

The NV-G is the crown jewel in the Nautilus reel line-up. It is free of maintenance and lightweight with a state-of-the-art titanium and ceramic drag system, titanium spool shaft, and ceramic bearings. It has also proven to be worth every cent. The NV-G features add up to a world-class reel that backs up its reputation with performance. The award-winning, factory-sealed, disc braking system is what separates the NV-G from other top-tier reels. It has simply been time-tested and proven to be the most reliable saltwater reel made.

Nautilus X-Series Fly Reels The innovative cutaway frame on the Nautilus X-Series did more than shave weight and add sex appeal. It added rear spool rim protection where the reel typically makes contact. The large, wide arbor spool on the X-Series is super-ventilated to improve drying time of the line and backing. Too, it features an extra wide palming rim that adds approximately 35% more strength. The highlight of X-Series reels is the new, feather-smooth, Nautilus factory-sealed SCF-X Teflon® and carbon fiber disc drag. It is impervious to the elements, and helps these reels rate as one of best quality fly reel values in our sport.

Since its horsehair beginnings... the modern day fly line evolved from the oil-impregnated silk lines of the silent film era into the incredible selection of synthetic, polymer-coated, self-lubricating and often-radical tapers now available at your favorite fly shop. Innovation, engineering, and closely guarded manufacturing processes have provided the angler with a daunting choice of highly effective, specialty fly lines.

Prior to that revolutionary development, even the most Then in the early 60’s a genius fly fisherman named Leon Martuch developed sophisticated fly fishers used oila way to simply taper the coating during the coating application impregnated silk lines that only There are specialized fly – and the parent of the modern fly line was born.

The Fly Shop’s Freshwater Floating Fly Line Selection

Nowhere else in our sport are the effects of modern technology as apparent. Tapers, coatings, floatation, the texture, color, and performance of modern fly lines continues to improve. Each and every generation of fly lines seem to float higher, cast further, last longer, shoot through the guides with less effort, and make fly fishing easier and more fun. These are the best lines made!

Amplitude Infinity & Mastery Infinity All-Purpose Tapers

Rio’s Elite Gold Floating Line

These are the most versatile trout fishing fly lines in our line-up. The difference is in the textured finish, Both lines have floating texture on the line’s tip to keep it riding like a cork, and shooting texture on the (slightly long) weight forward section to reduce friction, add distance, and make it a lot easier to mend nymph rigs or toss streamers. SA added AST Plus slickness agent to smooth the passage through the guides and extend the line’s usable life. These are half a size heavy to compensate for today’s modern fast action fly rods.

Easily handles small dries to larger terrestrial patterns often used on these types of waters.

The Titan fly lines are a great choice for tossing mice in Kamchatka, and big, topwater bass bugs at home. It’s our own go-to floating line for Peacock Bass with a popper, or when we’re using a long leader and a slightly subsurface streamer in freshwater. The short, heavy front taper turns over air-resistant patterns that a standard weight forward taper couldn’t possibly handle, and makes fishing with big dry flies a whole lot easier.

Super-stealthy, clear camo line that disappears in the water. Cortland’s solid monofilament core is fused to a clear polymer coating formulated to perform in a wide range of temperatures. The ultraslow sink rate (less than 2 inches per second) keeps the fly in the feeding zone longer than any other line. Our most popular stillwater line.

Amplitude Anadro Floating Fly Line & Mastery Anadro Floating Line

The Fly Shop® and Scientific Anglers teamed up to design this floating fly line for indicator nymph fishing. The results were better than we could have hoped for and the taper is now available in both the Amplitude and the Mastery series. Amplitude lines feature a microtexture finish that differs from the Mastery lines. Tossing large indicators and split shot is a lot easier with the long, 60´+ belly built into this taper, whether roll casting, mending, single-hand spey casting, or lining up a switch rod, there’s no better choice than one of the Anadro Floating fly lines.

Specialty Saltwater Fly Lines

Saltwater, stillwater, jungle rivers, fast creeks and rivers, deep lakes, spooky fish, are only a few of the specialty situations that require lines with a tactical advantage. Other destinations might demand extreme distance casting, or require driving a bulky bass, redfish, tarpon, or snook fly into the wind. We’ve got those, (and more) bases covered.

Amplitude Smooth Grand Slam Line

Amplitude Bonefish Floating Taper

The highest-performance smooth fly lines in the world. With up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines, this will change the way you look at fly line performance. With a short, powerful head the Grand Slam cuts through wind and turns over crabs, shrimp, and tarpon toads with ease. Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon – All on one line.

The newest generation of fly lines incorporates the identical tapers and all the features of the Mastery Series and adds both the revolutionary AST Plus slickness additive and a unique micro-texture to reduce friction.The stiff, tropical core insures accuracy and adds effortless distance.

Scientific Anglers Seamless Sonar Sinking Fly Lines These new subsurface fly lines are a huge departure from the graduated density fly lines of years past. They incorporate a smooth, seamless transition between the multiple floating, sinking tip, or different sinking rate sections and eliminate the “hinge effect” that made previous multi-density lines so difficult to cast. The final result in all the Sonar fly lines is a constant, straight connection to the subsurface flies as they drop, and as they swing in the water column.

Scientific Anglers 25-foot Sonar Sinking Tip Fly Lines These long, high-density sinking tips are backed with a high floating belly and a narrow diameter running line. The configuration adds distance every cast, makes the line easy to mend and control in the water column, and helps to visually detect strikes. Most important, the 25´ sinking tip gets the fly down and into the feeding lane quickly. They’re super-productive in large streams and rivers for steelhead, salmon, and trout. and often the answer in slow and deep stillwater and structure fishing for any species. It’s the best 2nd line you’ll ever own for a bunch of different freshwater situations. $99.95

Sonar lines are the latest generation of sinking line technology. They provide a direct connection to the fly, keeping the angler in control of every second it’s in the water.They definitely improve the ability to feel the strike sooner and set the hook earlier! • Both ends are looped for easy rigging • Super-strong, braided multifilament core • Ideal for both cold and warm water climates • Predictable sink rates

Sonar Seamless Stillwater Dual-Density & Intermediate Camo Sinking Lines

Sonar Stillwater Sinking lines provide straight line connections to subsurface flies, and these sinking fly lines seamlessly combine two different density sections of fly line. • Ideal for lakes, ponds, and stillwater • Super-strong, braided multifilament core Intermediate Clear Camo

Sink tip sections are available in two densities (Type 3 & Type 5 sinking rates). Tip lengths are designed to match rod individual weights from 8´to14´ They’re great for both wade fishing or casting out of a boat. Streamer fishing has never been so easy!

These sinking fly lines combine three different density sections of fly line and connect anglers to the fly in a straight line at any depth. Triple Density lines begin with a small diameter section of sinking running line which graduates in density (but not diameter) until it connects with the very fast sinking belly and the even faster sinking tip section creating a smooth transfer of energy. It eliminates hinging, transfers power evenly, and the end result is powerful heads that turns over big flies and add distance.

Choosing a Spey Reel

making a hard game harder, often preferring the simpler gear and pawl reels with no disc drags at all…and they will all tell you that the sound of a screaming clicker, with a steelhead ripping line off of it, is one of the greatest sounds in fly fishing. Two-handed rods cast larger and thicker lines. Any appropriate companion spey reel needs adequate capacity (normally 3 line sizes greater than would be proper for single-handed rod – an 8 weight spey rod would be a reel rated for an 11-weight conventional line) and enough weight to counter-balance the long rod. Without the extra weight, your longer fly rod will feel “tip-heavy” during every cast and that will rob you of both casting enjoyment and efficiency.

T R A D I T I O N A L S P E Y anglers prioritize their search for the

best reel by capacity, weight, reliability, durability, and price. But aesthetics are often a very important consideration as well. Sometimes the sound a reel makes is more important than it’s drag system! With the exception of switch rods, most double-handed fishing is done on larger rivers by anglers who are chasing big fish. Of course, reliability and performance is critical. But many in the crowd of fanatics would argue that they love the added challenge of fishing with the classic “clicker” reels from the past. High performance saltwater reels work great on spey rods, and can do double duty when it is time for your next tarpon trip. But, the hardcore swingers like

The Rush shares the same reliable drag system as the Galvan Torque series reels, and have a lot more stopping power than you’ll likely ever need. It’s a bit heavier than the Torque model, the Rush models balance out better on longer rods, so you can stick to fighting fish, not “tip dive”. Model

Joe Brooks’ storles about the Rio Grande’s phenomenal sea-run brown trout brought North Americans flocking to Tierra del Fuego in the ‘60’s and Yankees dominated that scene for the next four decades. But sea trout fishing, like golf and Atlantic salmon angling is inherently a British sport, and those guys started showing up on the Rio Grande riverbanks at the turn of the century. They brought their long rods and kicked our Yankee asses for a change. Their spey rods defeated the notorious winds of Tierra del Fuego effortlessly, and covered the river far more systematically and effectively than considered possible with our single-handed 8-weights. It was an eye-opener that brought a spey revolution to South American fly fishing.

Rio PowerFlex Ultra Shooting Line

An excellent shooting line for anglers using Skagit or Scandi style shooting heads. Extremely tough outer coating, over a medium stiff Powerflex core that shoots with unbelievable ease for ultra-long casts, increased durability and ensures tangle-free performance. The line’s ultra-slick coating floats high on the surface, allowing for reduced drag. Bullet proof welded loops on each end make it fast and easy to rig, while the front loop is large enough to pass an entire shooting head coil through, for maximum speed and efficiency when rigging. #29853 Orange 29854 Green

Fly Floatants

Keeping your ﬂies ﬂoating high & dry The last thing you want is to have a dry fly sink or not ride correctly before a feeding trout. That “refusal” is too often accepted as something other than a mistake on the part of the angler. Presentation, drift, fly selection, or all of the above. It may simply be that the fly is not dressed properly. It’s time, then, to back up and look at the basics. T H E F I R S T T H I N G , in order of importance is to choose a fly that’s constructed of good materials. Webby, soft hackle or porous body materials or heavy hooks will sink a fly faster than a German “U”-boat. Then make sure your tippet is appropriate and not “wind knotted” or damaged. Expert anglers then take the time to prepare their dry fly (particularly small, spring creek and stillwater models) with a primer. Like paint or glue, a good floatant needs to have a good base. Coat the fly with a top quality silica descicant, like Shimazaki Dry Shake or Loon’s Top Ride. Make a couple of exaggerated false casts and present the fly as gently as possible on the stream or surface of the spring creek or stillwater. If it’s a high riding attractor fly or bass bug, use a gel (Bug Flote, Gink, etc.) liberally, then pinch the fly hard and remove any extra, unnecessary floatant. That will compress the gel and force the lanolin base into the porous hair fibers. We’ve got a wide selection of fly floatants. Experiment!

Mucilin Fly & Line Dressing

Loon Blue Ribbon Floatant

Loon Lochsa Gel Floatant

Shimazaki Dry Shake Spray

Three decades of success has made this an all-time favorite floatant.

Crystal floatants are the best to recondition drowned or small dries. No oils or paste to mat down small wings.

An all-around gel that works on CDC and treats feathers, hair, hackle, and yarn without hindering appearance while providing maximum floatation. It is silicon based, and won’t melt in heat or harden when it’s cold.

Same formula as the Dry Shake Liquid, but instead of dipping each fly individually, the aerosol can makes it easy to spray down your entire dry fly box all at once!

#1548 $7.95

Mucilin Fly Line Silicone This is Europe’s most popular fly line dressing for a very good reason. It works in all weather conditions. #1549 $7.95

#6236 $7.95

Loon Easy Dry Super-absorbent silica crystals floatant that’s excellent for re-conditioning flies. #1526

$7.95

Gehrke's Gink

Loon Aquel

The world’s most popular fly floatant. Dab it on your dry fly for a high-visibility drift.

A silicon-based, temp stable floatant that won’t melt when it’s hot, harden when it’s cold or leave a slick on the water.

#1545 $6.95

#6311

$9.50

• Environmentally sensitive • One treatment lasts all day #15624

$32.95

Mucilin Hourglass Silicone

Loon Fly Dip

Fluid, liquid Mucilin is great for small dries, pupa, spinners and indicator yarns. Another fine stillwater floatant.

Dip your fly in, and watch as the liquid evaporates in seconds, leaving behind a super buoyant film on your fly. Use it to pretreat flies as well as reviving soggy flies.

#1550 $8.95

#26775

#6308 $5.95

$11.00

Shimazaki Dry-Shake

Pop the fly (leader attached) into the vial and give a shake. Make a couple of casts, and all the scum is gone. Keeps very small flies riding on top for hours. Japan’s most popular silica type floatant. #108 $14.95

Dry Shake w/ Brush

Apply the gold standard in shake floatants with absolute precision and control using the new applicator brush. Perfect for applying shake to Chubby’s and winged dries! #21409 $24.95

Umpqua Bug Flote

Our favorite floatant for hair wing and larger trout or bass flies. Similar to Gink and best suited for warm climates. The patented bottle hangs upside down off a D-ring or zipper. #4538

$3.95

Shimazaki Dry-Shake Liquid

The best of silicone and mucilin based flotants. Just dip your fly and watch as the liquid evaporates within seconds leaving a thin film. If your fly is wet, be sure to first dry your fly off with a dry shake or an amadou patch. Not recommended for use on CDC flies.

Dry Magic

A superb, smooth, viscous, silicone based floatant that won’t paste up feather fibers. Best option for CDC flies. #9119 $16.95

Loon Top Ride

Put a fly in the jar and shake on this combined pure silica powder and silica crystal floatant. Super for hair wings and for reconditioning flies. #4322 $8.95

Frog’s Fanny

Brush (the brush is part of the cap) it on any nymph wing case to create a bubble on the fly that looks exactly like an emerging insect. Excellent on CDC flies! #9519 $7.50

SA’s Gel Fly Floatant

A buoyant, creamy formula floatant that flows easily in cold weather, won’t liquify in heat, and has no odor. #152

$6.95

Spring Creek & Stillwater Dry Fly Selection I N N O O T H E R C A T E G O R Y of flies

is the choice of design, the use of toptier materials, and the implementation of precision fly tying techniques more critical than in the construction of spring creek, stillwater, and dry fly imitations. The simplest explanation is that trout inhabiting slow moving, crystal clear water have both the time and opportunity to completely eyeball their meal and decide whether it’s on the menu, and determine if its real or not. They’re not the same fish occupying swift riffles and turbulent or off-color environs – whose stomachs are often littered with sticks, rocks, and other debris that was hastily mistaken for food. By their nature, spring creeks and stillwaters harbor older, more experienced, more sophisticated trout; all of which creates what many consider one of the ultimate challenges of our sport.

In the construction of spring creek and dry fly patterns there’s just no adequate substitute for superb hackle and other top-of-the-line materials to make them float properly, or the light, strong razorsharp hooks that’ll sting the trophy making a split-second strike. Cheap materials and short-cut assembly methods translate into cheap flies that don’t float properly, work well, or last very long. They’re the last items in your arsenal where you should consider economizing. Period! The Fly Shop’s dry fly selection has fooled smart trout from Patagonia to Pennsylvania, and proven themselves in spring creeks from the Rocky Mountains to New Zealand and Kamchatka. These two pages include some of the best-tied, most productive stillwater and spring creek dry flies ever found under one roof. And we’re proud of it.

A KEY TO CATCHING BIG TROUT

Stoneflies &Attractors These high-floating, large-profile, high-visibility patterns are an indispensable part of every serious angler’s fly box.The legendary Joe Brooks had it right; “The popularity of high visibility flies is based on nothing more than the fact that large flies routinely produce large trout.”

Opportunistic Feeders B I G T R O U T often hold in fast-moving, heavy water, where the swift flow doesn’t give them much time to take a good look at what’s being served up for dinner. (Consider that may be the reason why their stomachs are often filled with rocks, twigs, and other debris.) Fish often have to decide and strike fast, considering silhouette, size, color and if it acts like food. There’s only conjecture as to what might trigger a Brook Trout to inhale a Royal Humpy or why a Sea Trout attacks a skated Madame X. But we never argue with success. This selection of attractors and stoneflies is a cross-section of near-exact profiles and field-proven patterns that should keep a bend in your fly rod.

2/3 Introduction 12/20/21 4:07 PM Page 1

Midges T H E S E L I T T L E G U Y S are found everywhere, and all the time. If a fish isn’t eating a stonefly, mayfly, terrestrial, or caddis, it’s probably feasting on tiny midges. The technical name for these small, double-winged insects are chironomids. Don’t let their size fool you – they’re small, but not insignificant, and lots of trophy-sized trout are hooked on these mini-flies!

Because they’re small, it’s not important to get technical matching a midge hatch. Search your box for the fly closest to the size, silhouette, and color (in that order). Gary Sanpei photo

Durability: Tube flies last longer.

▲ Low mortality: If a fish swallows the hook, cut the leader: the hook will dissolve without causing more harm. Just replace the hook and continue fishing. ▲ Options: The pattern size and style of a tube fly aren't dependent on hook style or size. ▲ Land more fish: When fighting the fish, less hook leverage with shorter shank hooks result in a higher percentage of fish caught.

The Fly Shop’s Top Mouse Patterns

These are the best ten choices in the world of fly fishing for those anglers who want to try fishing a mouse in Alaska, Kamchatka, Mongolia, Canada, or anywhere else there’s a healthy population of field mice or lemmings near trout water.

The Fly Shop’s Alaska Leech Selection

Wherever you fish in freshwater, you’ll find leeches. They’re a first choice for trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, and sea trout. Often they’re the only choice! Fill your box with a variety of different sizes and colors.

Living Leech Size 2 Size 4 $5.95 #494F This is our favorite. The Hankey in either size is the most productive and fish-friendly (least lethal) imitation of a mouse ever tied. The up-eye trailer hook usually stings trout in the upper lip, misses gills, and insures a harmless release.

Mr. Hankey

Size 4 $7.95 #584F The accurate, large profile tosses a huge wake. It’s an irresistible rough water imitation, though difficult to cast with light (6 weight) fly Rods.

beginning as close to the bank as possible and pay close attention to any structure. Keep the tip low, the line taut, and add a bit of motion occasionally with the rod tip. As the fly swings in the current, it’ll give off enough of a wake to bring fish from the first down marker. These rodents are a staple on the trout diet in Russia’s Far East. Large Kamchatka trout will chase them and attack again and again, attempting to pull the “mouse” below the surface and drown it before devouring the varmint. Exciting is an understatement. Anglers should be required to have an EKG before being allowed to use a mouse in Kamchatka, where it isn’t unusual to hook dozens of large rainbows every day on the surface using mice imitations.

Kamchatka boasts the finest mouse fishing for big rainbows in the world, and the Mr. Hankey pattern is the only pattern our guides will use! It floats high, skates perfectly across the surface, and the upturned hook dramatically reduces mortality.

Flesh Flies

In salmon country, the flesh of decomposing fish is at the top of the trout menu. It’s loaded with protein, easy to digest, and the rivers of the Pacific Northwest, and Russian Far East are full of carcasses in the fall. Dead-drifting or stripping these carcass patterns is a devastating method for catching late summer and fall trophy trout and char.

Egg Imitations

Glo Bugs were a local Redding creation more than 50 years ago and have spawned several generations of imitations, knock-offs, and variations. Whatever your feeling about these eggs and omelets, they’re high on the list of trout food in the Pacific Northwest. Salmon drop their eggs, and their specific gravity carries them to the bottom. Fertilized eggs begin to decompose, form nitrogen, become more buoyant, begin to float along the bottom and create an amazing chow line.

What drives a salmon to strike a fly is pure conjecture. It’s probably some aggressive, territorial, primal urge to protect or defend. Whatever the reason, every one of this sampling of salmon flies has been proven to be consistently effective for both Kings and Silvers.

Silver Salmon Wogs What Silvers lack in size when compared to King Salmon, they make up for in numbers and aggressive behavior. They’ll attack a fly all day long and are often caught in numbers large enough to exhaust even the most intrepid angler. Like most anadromous fish they’re negaphototropic. They don’t like the bright daylight and become more and more shy as the sun rises. In the early morning hours Silvers Salmon are at their most aggressive and often strike a skated surface fly. Skating fluorescent or large pink floating flies (“pollywogs”) across the surface is an exciting wrinkle to the Alaska Silver Salmon fly fishing experience.

The Kola Reserve encompasses two “new rivers,” the ﬁrst, and most exciting ﬁsheries to be opened on the Kola Peninsula in a decade. T H E M A G N I F I C E N T Kola Reserve Lodge sits on the banks above the Lumbovka River, roughly 70 miles above the Arctic Circle, 200 miles from Murmansk, and a short helicopter ride from it’s sister-river the Kachkovka. They’re situated at what’s considered the boundary between the Barents and White Sea. The rivers of the Kola Reserve have two distinct, productive runs of very large Atlantic Salmon. The first (spring) fish arrive in early June and their escapement continues to build until the water warms in late summer. These big, bright fish are the monster Atlantics that made the north coast of the Kola famous. The Autumn run, “Osenkas”, nose into Lumbovka and Kachkovka in late August and continue to arrive through September. These power-packed fish are loaded with enough fat and muscle to survive the 18 month stay in the fresh water before they spawn. They’re lightning bolts that will test the toughest tackle, and are found in few other places on Earth.

The Fly Shop team is still uncovering the complete potential of these newly opened rivers, but what we have learned firsthand is remarkable. Our scouting season revealed an average sized fish between 15 and 20 pounds in the spring. The largest were over 30 pounds, and we hooked others too hot to handle that we feel were even bigger! The veteran team of Atlantic Salmon fishermen that joined our pandemicabbreviated exploration included Matt Harris, the principals of Fly Fishing Nation and our own, Justin Miller. Everyone considered the rivers of the Kola Reserve to be the perfect size and agreed that what we saw was remarkable and the potential is incredible. The Fly Shop® is proud to have been selected as the exclusive North American agent for this phenomenal new Atlantic Salmon destination and we invite you to contact our Russia Travel Sales Specialist, Justin Miller, to learn a lot more about the Kola Reserve. ®

J A N I S E L E Y ’ S Raghead Crab (pictured far left)

sparked a revolution in ‘91 for permit fishermen in Mexico’s Ascension Bay. Suddenly anglers had a tool in their box these uncooperative fish would eat. Caribbean permit began to be caught routinely, and more and more fly rodders added these wary critters to their daily list of targets on the flats. Productivity spiralled even higher as native guides in Mexico and Belize refined their techniques and subtle changes to the color, weight, and materials used to tie the short list of effective permit fly patterns. The ESB series of flies (products of a team of sophisticated saltwater anglers, talented Mayan guides, and Dane Emerson – the owner of Espiritu Santo Bay Lodge) were the real game changers. New to our catalog (but not our travel clientele) these two permit patterns have accounted for a good portion of just over 2,000 permit landed at Espiritu Santo Bay Lodge in 5 years!

Peacock Bass Specialty Flies

T H E F L Y S H O P ’ S jungle junkies have travelled

to most of the top spots in the Amazon and learned a lot about the best flies, tackle, techniques and the best places to hunt for them. A tip – Body material for most of these flies is fashioned from thin synthetic fibers and you need to carry a comb to touch up the flies in the field. A little attention to the coiffure will do wonders. Lots of flies work, but these are our favorites.

Bass, Bluegill, Pike, Carp, Crappie & Shad REDDING’S

Closer to home, our surrounding foothills are dotted with bass ponds ,and lowland lakes. These placer-mine remnants of California’s Gold Rush are filled with bass and other warmwater species. As competition for quality trout fishing water becomes more intense, the warmwater aspect of the sport is getting a lot more attention and The Fly Shop® is ready with a great fly selection.

E L E V A T I O N is only 564 feet. We’re at the extreme upper end of the Sacramento basin and two magnificent volcanoes, Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen, tower above our valley floor. As you leave town in 3 directions (north, east, and west), the California Valley Oaks quickly give way to the pine-covered forests of the Sierras and the Trinity Alps. There are about 730 miles of public trout streams and rivers within an hour and a half drive.

THE FLY SHOP’S FRESH & SALTWATER

Custom Fly Selections

Our travel teamhas been to every lodge and camp we representin the world, and even more that we don’t. We know what works!

Ar ian Stevens photo

The Fly Shop® has been one of the sport’s largest angling travel agents for nearly 44 years We’ve outfitted tens of thousands of fly rodders for trips all over the globe and been there ourselves The Fly Shop’s fly selections are made by experts who have fished those destinations a bunch of times Nobody in the fly business is better able to help you choose the right flies you’ll need for your next trip Get the flies you’ll really need! Whether you are headed to Alaska for kings, Kamchatka for rainbows, or Bolivia for dorado – your fly box will be filled with what our experts would choose for themselves and you’ll end up with a first-class selection of flies that’s on-target for exactly where you’re headed. Just what you’ll need and nothing else. Selections from fly fishing’s largest inventory of flies The Fly Shop® has a larger fly selection to choose from than you’ll find in the entire Orvis, Cabela’s, and Bass Pro catalogs combined. We’ve got a myriad of flies to choose from and the experience to make the right choices. They’re not pre-packaged collection of leftovers, or chosen by people who haven’t been to where you’re headed. Our selections are chosen by our team of professionals and the guides at the places you’re going.

T E R R Y J E P S E N is typical of the talented team here at The Fly Shop®.

Order all the flies you want for your trip & return the leftovers! Travelling anglers can load up with all the flies they think they’ll need for a trip, and then return any of those flies – unused and in original condition (within 60 days of that purchase) for a 100% in-store credit.

He’s been fishing with a fly rod since becoming part of our family at thirteen, and has chased everything from Black Bass in the Sierra foothills to freshwater Dorado in the jungles of Bolivia. In October Terry hosted an angling safari to Tanzania - chasing Tigerfish! Their success can’t be exaggerated. In two small, clear, rivers they landed one ferocious fish after another for a week. Some on the surface. Terry also knows just the right flies to use Kamchatka for monster rainbows, and which patterns to recommend for Peacock Bass in Brazil. Because he’s been there.

It’s an open invitation to any travelling fly fisherman (whether you booked your trip with The Fly Shop® or not) to expand your selection or load up on the proven patterns and the flies you know you’ll need!

Tigerfish Fly Selections

Show up with nothing but the best! These are the highest quality flies in the sport. They’re tied by craftsmen to our own exacting standards using only the finest materials and hooks.

THE BEST OF MODERN

Fly Boxes

The Fly Shop’s Signature Double-Sided Waterproof Fly Boxes We designed our rugged, waterproof boxes with every practical, important feature: • Transparent lids let you find and make the selection quickly and without opening the box • Silicone, O-ring gaskets keep this box totally waterproof and protect your flies from moisture • The double-sided box and hinge system allows you to open either side independently • Stainless steel, no-rust hinge pin • Appropriate for both fresh and saltwater use • Slotted foam to keep flies firmly in place and separate • 5 models including a boat box and 4 others sized to fit most vests, chest packs, shirts, and wader pockets

The Fly Shop’s Signature Double-Sided Streamer & Boat Box

Pictured above, this big boy is an ideal boat box, impervious to weather and the elements, with 10 rows in a size large enough for dorado, steelhead, salmon, peacock bass, and saltwater streamers. More than up to our challenging field-tests in Tierra del Fuego, Brazil, and British Columbia. FLY B O X E S are nearly all constructed of space-age industrial plastics. Our own favorites have clear lids to allow the angler to see and sort through the selection without opening the box and risking dropping or losing any of the treasure. Too, we prefer models with gaskets that protect the flies from moisture and even total immersion. Try to be practical and think ahead about the vest, jacket, fanny pack, or the wader pocket it’ll call home, when selecting any fly box. Stay away from boxes with any metal parts and take a few extra minutes to organize your flies before you enter the field. It’ll save time later and make your fishing more productive. In The Fly Shop’s never-ending effort to bring innovation and economy to our catalog pages and introduce new products to fly fishermen, we’ve limited the number of boxes we display on these pages to our most popular models.

Specialized Fresh and Saltwater Leaders Scientific Anglers Absolute Leaders are copolymer blends that limit water absorption and maintain optimal suppleness for knot strength. Then post-production coatings are added to further limit water absorption and UV degradation. All that means 29% more wet knot strength for Absolute mono, and a 15% strength gain.

Rio’s Powerflex® Monofilament Leader has been the most popular leader at The Fly Shop® for more than two decades. Their reputation for taper and design is wellearned, and they’re the first choice of many accomplished anglers and professionals. All of Rio’s Powerflex® monofilament leaders and tippet are coated with PTFE after extrusion to improve both abrasion resistance and knot strength.

Seaguar Gold Label

Seaguar’s thinnest material for stealthier presentations. Not only are thinner leaders even less visible underwater, but you also get the advantage of more natural presentations and better catchrates on finicky fish. Made with an exclusive double-structure process, they combine two custom Seaguar fluorocarbon resins to create a leader with smaller diameters yet with exceptional knot and tensile strength. It’s softer too and cinches easily for failsafe knots. Seaguar Gold Label Code

There’s no such thing as bad weather.

Just Bad Equipment C H O O S I N G T H E R I G H T G E A R makes the difference in the outdoors

between comfort and catastrophe - between a great day of fishing and a miserable one. For the angler, that begins with underwear and waders. They’re the first things you put on in the morning and are often what determines whether you’re going to be comfortable all day and enjoying yourself, or cold, wet, and miserable.

In the fly fishing world, the top name in wading gear is Simms®. They’ve set the bar as our industry’s standard for reliability, breathability, durability, and comfort. In fact. most hard-core anglers wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything else.

Now, after three decades as the first choice in waders for most serious fly fishermen and professional guides, Simms® is introducing an inexpensive wader built for the casual anglers, women that fish, and their kids!

Simms Tributary Stockingfoot Chest Wader for Men, Women, & Kids

The Simms people believe these are as good as the best waders made – that aren’t wearing the Simms label. No, they’re not Gore-Tex®, but neither are anyone else’s. And they’re not made for the fanatic who is going to be on the water every day, for hundreds of days each season. The Simms Tributary is, however, a remarkably durable wader with a bundle of great features. More than that, the Simms Tributary is a great value and a very good, breathable wader that will keep the guy, girl, or the kid who doesn’t fish more than a few weeks a year, completely dry, comfortable, and having fun while they’re on or in the water enjoying or discovering fly fishing.

If there’s one river in NorCal that intimidates people, it’s the Pit. “The Pit River is a nasty, gnarly trout fishery…like walking on greased bowling balls,” or “It’s not a question of when you go down on the Pit, it’s how many times!” With the right gear you can tame the Pit River and experience some of the best trout fishing in the Northstate. Get yourself the best damn felt soled wading boots you can afford and rig them with new studs. Second, get yourself a wading staff. And always wear a wading belt or wet wade. With the right boots and a wading staff, you should be able to clean up on the trout on the Pit and live to tell about it.

It's subtle as it lands on the water, sensitive when fish touch the fly, and won't get bogged down with water.
