Elk Hair Caddis
A timeless Canadian staple. Elk hair wing floats like a cork and mimics the silhouette of adult caddis perfectly on fast riffles.
From surface-sipping dries to deep-diving nymphs — every pattern in our collection is chosen for Canadian hatches, Canadian rivers, and Canadian fish.
Surface Patterns
A timeless Canadian staple. Elk hair wing floats like a cork and mimics the silhouette of adult caddis perfectly on fast riffles.
The all-purpose dry fly. A visible white parachute post makes it easy to track on broken water — effective across almost every Canadian hatch.
Low-riding profile imitates the Pale Morning Dun emerging in the film — deadly during flat-water PMD hatches on Alberta spring creeks.
Spring and fall staple on nearly every Canadian trout stream. This BWO ties in crisp olive dubbing and a blue dun hackle for precise hatch matching.
Subsurface Patterns
The workhorse nymph for Canadian rivers. Natural hare dubbing with a copper bead — imitates everything from baetis to caddis larvae.
Essential for winter and early spring fishing on tailwaters. Black thread ribbed with silver wire — fish it deep under an indicator for consistent results.
A big, meaty stonefly nymph built for the Bow, the Thompson, and every big-fish river in between. The rubber legs pulse with life on every drift.
A Canadian classic with biots, peacock herl, and a white wing — it imitates nothing specific yet catches everything. An essential box fly coast-to-coast.
Baitfish & Attractor Patterns
The most versatile streamer ever tied. Marabou tail pulses on every micro-movement. Fish it for brown trout, bull trout, pike — anything that eats.
A hand-tied articulated pattern built to push water and flutter like a fleeing baitfish. Deadly on big western rivers for large browns and cutthroat.
Designed for Bow River browns, this full-marabou leech strips with irresistible action. Fish it slow in deep pools or fast along undercut banks.
Traditional & Classic Patterns
A sparse, deadly emerger pattern. Partridge hackle breathes in the current, perfectly imitating a hatching mayfly or caddis pupa on the swing.
A Victorian classic that still catches fish on every continent. Peacock herl body, white wing, and brown hackle — fished on the swing for sea-run browns.
