Freshwater Fishing Flies
Tying the right fly makes all the difference when you're targeting trophy brown trout, muskie, or bass in freshwater. The flies that consistently catch big fish aren't the ones you'll find in most fly shops.

Our fishing video courses show you exactly how to tie these proven patterns step by step. Captain Chad Bryson walks you through the materials, techniques, and subtle details that separate average flies from ones that catch fish over 20 inches.
