Welcome to our Fly Shoppe!  Here are just a few examples of the custom tied flies that we have in stock!
Adams Parachute, is perhaps the most important and versatile of all dry flies and is great for the Upper Brule River Trout
Beadhead Prince Nymph, should be drifted with the current and is one of the flies you should always have in your fly box!  Another great Upper Brule River Trout Pattern.
Beadhead Red Fox Squirrel Nymph can imitate standard mayflies, caddis, scuds, stoneflies, hexagenia, crawfish (crayfish), and damsel flies, works great for the Upper Brule River Trout!
Berge Hex Comparadun brings together fly fisherman from all over to fish for trout in the twilight hours, they hatch in late June-mid July.
Steelhead love the Black Woolly Bugger.  Depending on how it is tied and weighted it can imitate a minnow, a nymph, crayfish or something else good to eat.
Beths Best Bet is a slayer for the Steelhead in the Brule River!  It is tied with several different colors of yarn, so you will always have the right color in your fly box!
Berge's Black Stone Fly.  This fly is an absolute must if you fish any streams with a population of stoneflies.  Developed by Dick Berge of Iron River, WI.  Fish it on a dead drift near the bottom and it will produce. great in the late winter and spring months for the Steelhead.
The Brule River Hatch of Blue Wing Olive Parachute is all summer!  Blue Wing Olives are a prime trout food from fall through spring. This gives anglers a good chance at rising fish when few other anglers are on the water.
The Borger Leech can also imitate a minnow or crayfish.
The Brown Drake Spinner has a hatch schedule around mid June and the spinner fall happens at dark on warm windless evenings.  They mate over the river at dusk and then goto the water to lay their eggs.  They drift with wings moving.
A brown bugger is a sure-fire pattern in streams that have a high population of crayfish or other types of large bottom dwelling nymphs.  Look to give it a try along with black buggers early on in the trout season when waters are running hard and cold.
The Carey Special is a good searching fly.  Use it around brush or over weed beds to suggest insects like the dragon fly or damsel fly nymph.  It is a great fly for the Upper Brule River Brook Trout and inland Bass fishing!
The Grey Elk Hair Caddis floats high on fast water with its hackle nad elk hair wing.  It imitates the caddis fly drifting and dancing on the surface.  Simply fish it upstream over fast water seams for best results.
The Hares Ear Nymph is one of the "must have" nymphs.  Most often this fly should be drifted deep on an upstream cast.  During the early season, drifting it deep through holes and runs will bring some nice trout to hand.  Works wonders on the Brule River Steelhead as well!
The Hendrickson Comparadun imitates the Mayfly dun in the surface film. They float well even on moderately brisk water, and are visible, though they ride low in the water. Being in the surface film, as opposed to riding high on hackle, the fly looks like it is crippled, or dying, and very vulnerable. This will entice even a wary, selective wild trout.
The Parachute Hendrickson dry fly is one of the most versatile Mayfly patterns available. The approximate hatch is May 1-10th.  The impression on the water will imitate both a Mayfly dun and a spent Mayfly spinner. The versatile profile will often produce fish when other patterns won't. Parachute flies land upright more than traditionally patterns. This makes them easy to see and less likely to spook a selective fish.
The Hex Foam Spinner imitates the Hex hatch that emerges in Mid-June/Early July, when the adults sit on the surface to dry their wings before their first flight.  The best time to use this pattern is in the evening.  This is a very important hatch on the Upper Brule River, like an all you can eat Prime Rib dinner for the awaiting native trout!
Hex Parachute
The No-Name (Baetiscidae) This stubby little mayfly with a very short abdomen and wings too tall for its size baffled the river fisherman when they found the hatch on the Brule and White Rivers, so it became the No-Name.  The hatch can be found in the month of June.
The Sulpher Thorax has a usual hatch schedule of mid-May thru mid-June.
