Fly of the Week with @anna_on_the_fly | HDA Fav

HDA Fav | A fly that has just been killin’ it for me this summer

Use this fly as a dry dropper, as a searcher pattern, off deep shelves and runs, to scrape the bottom for the big boys or even as an emerger - especially during a caddis hatch on the swing

Fly of the Week with @anna_on_the_fly | Mercury Flashback Pheasant Tail

Mercury Flashback Pheasant Tail | A tried and true pattern that mimics a plethora of aquatic insects

I have been fishing this fly in a size 18 or 20 as my second fly and it’s caught almost every fish I’ve landed in the last few weeks, even had to lend my dad a few when he wasn’t getting bites and it instantly lead to a fish on his second cast!

Fly of the Week with @anna_on_the_fly | Jujubaetis

Jujubaetis | A Staple All Year

I do fish this fly all year long but as BWO season starts to take off I HIGHLY recommend stocking up on some Jujubaetises! Spring is the best time to fish this fly & with its slim profile, “wings” that push the water and and a little flash, it grabs the attention of even the pickiest fish

Pheasant Tail Ice | Change it up

This is starting to become one of my new favorite winter flies and a staple in my fly box, from South Boulder Creek to the South Platte to the Arkansas river this fly catches fish! Especially in heavily pressured water.
