We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

Field and Stream: Top 25 Greatest Flies of All Time

One of the great things about the internet is that it offers a fly-fisherman an unlimited ability to research new fly patterns or styles of fishing techniques.  While I was searching the internet for innovative patterns I came across an article from Field and Stream magazine from 2009 that categorized the top 25 fly patterns of all time.  Each pattern is linked to a brief description and additional info about each fly.  If there is a pattern that peeks your interest, check out the link!  

Enjoy!
