FLY RODS

FLY LINES

 

Most definitely our favorite trout flyline, particularly with softer action rods, which we prefer for our local trout waters. These lines are a taper within a taper, and can be customized by cutting the tip of the line to achieve the desired result.  You can check them out  here .

ORVIS FLYFISHING TACKLE & ACCESSORIES

 

 

For quality Orvis Tackle and Accessories, be sure to stop in and visit with our friends in Winston-Salem, NC.  The shop is operated by Stewart and Anne Gordon.   Support local shops, they are the lifeblood of the sport!   When you are dealing with buying tackle your best investment is dealing with knowledgeable salespeople who fly fish. Visit the  Green Drake Online here.      

 

Great info of all sorts, both fly fishing and fly tying, is available online  at the Orvis site.   As a member of the ORVIS Pro Guide Program I am very familiar with the Orvis product line, and they make great stuff.  Over the year I will highlight various products in our email newsletter and other offerings.  Check out a great knot tying page click here

 

CUSTOM HAND FURLED LEADERS 

Take a piece of string, put about a thousand twists into it, now hold the center and let the two legs Untwist on each other, which twists the pair together in the opposite direction.  Now you have furled the string - an ancient way of making rope.  In the early 1700's a fly fisher in England named Walton furled multiple hairs from a horses tail together to make the first tapered leader.  These leaders are furled by Randy Church, a 4th generation fly fisher who was taught to "twist" leaders by an old Appalachian mountain man, his Grandpa.  We twist leaders in many combinations of materials, weights, and tapers from 0-4 weight for clear trout streams to 12-15 weight saltwater monsters that will turn over your largest streamers.  Add three hundred years to your next presentation.  To learn more  check out  Randy's website here .

GREAT KNOTS TO USE W/FROG HAIR

 A great knot for tying on a fly is the Pitzen knot, for a printable pdf sheet on it, click here .  For larger flies, particularly streamers, the Uni-Knot is a good one.  For a printable diagram of the Uni, click here .
