Any NorCal local will appreciate how "hella" effective RIO's Hogan Hot Nest is.
Simply an imitation or the real deal? You'd never know because RIO's MorrishFluttering Stone is downright tantalizing—and not just to trout. It's hard for us to take our eyes off this pattern.
For those targeting predatory fish such as bass, pike, muskie and walleye, this fly is a must have.
RIO's Student Loan was designed as a general purpose big baitfish for those targeting everything from tuna to trevally and even stripers.
This pattern began as a glass minnow, and worked so well that we have designed a golden shiner and a fry imitation. Tied on a saltwater hook

The skwala stone is one of the first big bugs to emerge in the spring. This pattern has a foam egg sack, hackles and rubber legs for profile and floatation.
This unweighted scud is an absolute must for fishing spring creeks, tailwaters, and your favorite still waters.
Hogan Brown is a busy guy, a professional fly-fishing guide and fly tier; he doesn't have time for one-trick-pony flies, which is why he designed the Short Shank Caddis.
A scud is a scud, is a scud. And they're undeniably effective and reliable food source. So make sure to have a few of these in your box,
