Dennis Dickson's "The Rolled Muddler"

Dickson's Rolled Muddler 

The Sea-Run Cutthroat are roaming around the Puget Sound beaches this spring and summer, and will be making their way up the rivers in the fall - a fantastic opportunity for local fly fisherman.  I thought then, that it might be appropriate to bring back Dennis Dickson's story, "The Rolled Muddler".  I can vouch for the fact that SRCs go wild for this fly. I fished it with Dennis on the Stilly and Cowlitz and found out just how good this little fly is. Read the Dennis Dickson story and fly-tying instructions. MORE...

The Flies of Rune Westphal

A Perfectly Boiled Shrimp

Two things immediately pop out at you when browsing through Rune Westphal's blog, Seatrout flyfisher. One, that this is a man who knows how to catch fish, and two he ties some incredibly realistic shrimp flies. Rune is our newest contributor from Denmark and shares pictorial Step-by-Step instructions for tying one of those shrimp flies in this issue, "A Perfectly Boiled Shrimp". MORE...


The Flies of Monte Smith

Benham Light

It has been a few years since Monte Smith sent his last flies to Salmonfly.Net, but these remarkable new submissions were well worth the wait. Monte's flies are the perfect blend of utility and artistry and his photography  is at times stunning. I hope these submissions will bring a second look for the readers of Salmonfly.Net to all his flies. MORE...

ANADROMY Flies
Neil Strickland and Alyssa Halls

Badger Blood

Neil Strickland, who had been tying flies commercially for 10 years and guiding on Montana’s Bighorn River, met traveling photographer, illustrator, and web designer Alyssa Halls and the rest is history. They were a perfect alliance to launch an online fly store specializing in "quality, innovative, and effective patterns" for Steelhead they called Anadromy. Now the two make their home on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and as they put it, “are earning a degree in Steelhead Fly Fishing". See Alyssa’s photo essay of Neil’s flies and visit their new site.

The Flies of Per Hansen

Blue Fish

I think you will really enjoy these new submissions from Danish Fly Tyer Per Hansen. Many of these are his own creations, designed for Seatrout, Grayling, and Atlantic Salmon. Even if you are fishing for other species, I am sure you will find them fun to look at and potentially useful as crossover flies. I know I am going to tie a few for my box. MORE...
