Flies

2019 Fly of The Month Club — $69.99 The Fly of the Month Club has been a lot of fun for us over the past number of years and we think very beneficial to past members. These are a combination of new flies that we are working on and in the process of testing, as well as an occasional old pattern that we have rediscovered. Many of these patterns become new additions to our fly bins each year. The first mailing of the year will ship in mid-January and will include a set of tying instructions for our 2019 new flies. After that, around the first of each month you'll receive a new cutting-edge pattern, complete with a detailed photo, tying instructions, and a sample fly. If you are an avid fly tyer, this program will be a lot of fun for you, and even if you are not but know someone who loves to tie, this makes a great gift as well!

BRF Fly Selection - Soft Hackles — $64.99 Soft hackles are very enjoyable to fish and also extremely effective, and we've been huge fans of fishing soft hackled wet flies for many years. Few flies are as versatile, as fish will take them on the swing, nymphed deep, or dead drifted in the film. From spring through fall, we won't hit the river without a healthy stash of soft hackles in our vests and packs. Now we've combined a dozen of our favorite patterns to form the ultimate soft hackle selection, so whether you are a seasoned angler or are new to soft hackle fishing, you'll be covered no matter what situation you might encounter.

Sale Fly - Cinnamon Flying Ant — $1.00 This simple ant pattern is easy to see, and mimics natural flying ants perfectly. Regularly $2.50.

Sale Fly - Improved Sunken Stone - Tan — $1.50 This version of Nick's classic Sunken Stone is tied with a foam body for extra flotation, and a more drab color scheme for when the fish have already seen a million bright orange flies float past them. Size 8.

“The One” Sculpin — $3.99 This is a mean streamer that big brown trout will hammer. It's a great pattern to have in your fall line up. It looks good and is something the fish haven't seen too often. Size 4.

$3 Bridge Serendipity - Beadhead — $2.50 No other beadhead nymph has caused as much excitement in the fishing community here in Yellowstone Country as the $3 Bridge Serendipity. Casually called the $3 Dip, these simple little nymphs have found their way into the fly box of every guide.

$3 Bridge Serendipity - Original — $2.50 When Nick Nicklas first came up with this fly he kept it to himself for quite a few years. Once the cat was out of the bag, our guides demanded we tie plenty. This is still one of our favorite nymphs for our area waters and think it will become one of yours too.

$3 Bridge Serendipity - Wired — $2.50 Patrick Daigle came up with the Wired $3 Dip for fishing the shallows of the Madison without the need for additional weight. Two strands of wire give the fly that extra bit of heft to get down without split shot. Size 16.

6X Emerger — $2.50 This is an old, unjustly forgotten pattern we are bringing back for 2009. Clayton Molinero, or CP as we called him, loved to fish the fall Baetis hatch on the Firehole River. He showed us this fly years ago. Size 18.

Adams Parachute — $2.50 One of the most versatile dry fly patterns out there. This fly is a must-have in any fisherman's box.

Adams Parawulff — $2.50 This has been a great lake fly for us! We use it for Callibaetis duns as well as a drake pattern.

Almost There Baetis — $2.50 Bucky spends more time fishing small dry flies than just about anyone we know, and the Baetis hatch has long been a favorite of his. He's spent the last few seasons perfecting this fly, with the aim of finding a pattern that even the pickiest of big trout won't refuse. He finally shared it with us this past fall, and he has certainly succeeded! This fly rides low in the surface film, mimicking Baetis emergers perfectly, and big, selective trout will take it with confidence. Make sure to have a few for your next Baetis outing!

Amy’s Ant — $2.50 This foam creation has been a hit with cutthroat all over Yellowstone! Size 14.

Ant-Acid — $2.50 Be sure to have a few of these in your boxes this summer, as they have become one of the best-selling terrestrial patterns around. Available in purple/black and cinnamon.

Ausable Wulff — $2.50 Here's another classic attractor fly that's been largely forgotten by the fishing community, but not the trout. This fly will make a great PMD imitation as well. It's killer on the Gallatin, Madison, and many other local waters. Size 14.

Baetis Cripple - Black Wing — $2.50 You have heard us talk for several years now about the benefits of black wings on dry flies like the Mr. T and D.O.A. Cripples. The color black is highly visible in situations where there is a glare on the water, such as on overcast days.

Baetis Soft Hackle Emerger — $2.50 This soft hackle is tied with the shoulder feathers from a mallard wing. The natural preneal oils found on these feathers serve as a natural waterproofing and help keep this fly riding just above the surface film.

Bahama Mamma — $3.99 This new shrimp pattern is a must-have for any bonefish trip. Bead-chain eyes keep this fly light, allowing for delicate presentations to the spookiest fish in the shallowest water. Size 8.

Bakers Hole Soft Hackle — $2.99 During the early part of the fall run-up season, mid-August to October, big brown and rainbow trout can be tough to fool. We have designed this beautiful fall soft hackle with just the right amount of weight to get it down to the level shy lake-run fish will come for. This fly minimizes the number of late season patterns needed to take these highly sought after monsters. Combining a shaggy body with the right amount of weight and generous soft hackles to move the fly enough to drive fish crazy this fly should grace all late season anglers fly arsenals. Size 8.

Baker’s Hole Bugger — $2.99 As the name indicates this most important pattern was developed at Baker’s Hole on the Madison River. It remains one of the top streamers to fish fall run brown trout on the Madison above Hebgen Lake, or for that matter, anywhere on the Madison, Yellowstone, Snake and Missouri Rivers. Next time you run into Steve Smith fishing these rivers in September and October thank him for developing this classic streamer.

Balanced Leech — $2.99 The jig-style Balanced Leech has become very popular in the stillwater community all over the west, and these flies are highly effective here on our local lakes like Hebgen, Cliff, and Wade as well. Size 10.

Bass Popper — $6.99 These poppers are killer for warmwater species like largemouth and smallmouth bass, but big browns also love to chow down on frogs.

Bauer Crab — $7.99 Bauer's Flats Crab has proven to be a hot pattern for permit and bonefish. Gets right to the bottom quickly, which can be very important for permit fishing. This has been Cam's top fly for Permit over the past several years!
