Manic Custom Tiers Ranges - AKA Dudes We Stole Fly Patterns From

At Manic we are firm believers that all flies work on their day and that every fly tier on the planet has their own variations that they feel confident fishing. We've stolen some of those variations from some of our closest friends who just happen to be some of New Zealand's leading fly fishermen. Each angler in this list has his own set of skills and preferences that relate back to the areas that they fish. Check out their flies and think about how you can relate them back to how and where you fish.
