Fly Fishing Tips From the EXPERTS

 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR BRANDS

Fussy Trout

If fish are consistently examining then rejecting your standard offerings, try “down-sizing” your fly and tippet diameter until you are successful.

Sharpen Hooks

Deep sinking weighted nymph patterns constantly bump across the rocky bottom of our rivers and dull the hook point. Chemically sharpened hooks can be touched up with a small hook hone to make sure they are “sticky-sharp”. Sharp hooks definitely catch more trout!


 

Chris Dore -  NZ Fishing Guide Rotorua New Zealand FFF Casting Instructor

The Airflo Ridgelines generate more line speed than any other lines on the market. There is nothing like them for casting big lines. Even casting into the wind with a couple of tungsten nymphs is a piece of cake.

I always like having the best stuff and when it comes to fly tying C&F Design is where it’s at. And once you’ve made those perfect flies C&F have the only fly boxes I would ever consider using. You might as well have the best!
