RIO’s Powerflex Trout leaders feature a powerful butt section that provides unsurpassed turn over for effective wind penetration and to easily cast streamers and indicator rigs.
Probably the best baitfish pattern in the world, and equally effective for any fish in fresh or saltwater that likes to eat smaller fish. This fly uses lead dumbbell eyes to get depth, and help with the jigging action that makes this fly so deadly.
Designed with lead eyes to jig along the bottom, the RIO's Muffin Top is a perfect all around warmwater bass fly and flood tide redfish fly. It has also proven as an effective fly in the California Delta for smallmouth and Puget Sound for saltwater perch.
Searching for the universal shrimp imitation that both triggerfish and bonefish will eat readily, we ended up with this pattern that really fits the bill. With subtle flash and a muted, more natural tail, it is the perfect fly to not spook finicky fish.
Caddis larvae use grass, sticks, sand and pebbles to make a protective casing around their body, and then cling to rocks and weeds, or drag their casing around with them.
The Sow Bug Soft Hackle TB is the same as our Sow Bug Soft Hackle, but with a hot tungsten bead to wake up those sleepy winter trout, and to get a little extra depth in fast runs.
This pattern represent grasshoppers and stoneflies but it's name refers to the uncontrollable frustration for trout who wish they didn't like it so much.
