"Ted's Stonefly"
species: stonefly nymph
 type: nymph


sizes: #8 - 12

This is what we call a "replica" fly.  It is tied to exactly replicate the natural insect.  This type of fly looks good in the fly shop, but often loses its delicate "realism" after fishing in the "real world".  We prefer more resilient "imitative" patterns.

Fish: trout, panfish

"Trico Spinner"
species: mayfly
 type: dry


sizes: #14 - 24

Familiar to experienced "match-the-hatchers", this tiny fly produces when others fail.  Midges are prevalent insects and the "trico" is a good all around fly to use when you need to "go smaller".  Naturals often appear in large numbers, making for active angling.  Have both dun & spinner patterns.

Fish: trout, panfish

"Tunghead Green Weenie"
species: caddis larva
 type: nymph


sizes: #18 - 24

A beadhead style nymph suggesting a caddis larva.  Like other beadheads, also more broadly accepted for a variety of immature aquatic insects.   Used in both moving and stillwater environs.

Fish: trout, panfish

sizes: #4 - 12

A common pattern used for Atlantic Salmon.  Typical style for these flies most often used in larger, "sea-run" freshwater rivers used by Atlantic Salmon.  Fished unweighted on floating or sinking lines.

Fish: Atlantic Salmon

"WD 40 Midge"
species: midge pupa
 type: nymph


sizes: #16 - 24

Cute name for an effective, hard-working midge imitation.  Made to sit in or just under the surface where naturals are found.  Generally fished quite still in calm water where fish get a good look at things.

Fish: trout, panfish
