Any questions about location or time, feel free to contact us and we will do our best to let you know more details.  Also feel free to call the shops, as they can explain the layout of each event a little bit more in detail.

We continue to work on the site, as you will see in the main navigation there has been a new tab added.  FLY PATTERNS, we are trying to make the navigation easier and have added three sub categories.  New patterns are being photographed and filmed now, we have added only 4 patterns so far, but new ones are on the way.  Check out the layout and let us know if you have any thoughts.

Thank you

Flash Monkey Fly Pattern

Flash Monkey

Flash Monkey by Russ Maddin from Mangled Fly Media on Vimeo.

The Flash Monkey Fly Pattern by Russ Maddin, is the latest streamer pattern from the creator of the popular Circus Peanut, Mad Pup, and South Bound Trucker. As in the past, Russ continues to push the evolution of fly tying – this pattern combines new materials from FlyMen and Hareline Dubbing with traditional hackles from Whiting Farms.

Requiring over 2 years to perfect, the Flash Monkey needed to meet Russ’ strict streamer standards. Countless trips to the river testing the Flash Monkey ensured it was properly balanced and moved in the river currents for maximum effectiveness.

Tying Video

This video is more than a simple tying demo. It breaks down the Flash Monkey and gives you full access into the mind of fly designer, fisherman , and river steward Russ Maddin. As he discusses his methods of tying, how to fish the pattern, and more. It also includes Q&A with Jon Ray discussing several retrieves to bring this fly to life, the best Scientific Anglers fly lines for the pattern, and how to build your leader to get the most out of your fly.

No matter your experience level you’ll learn something from this video. If you’re into streamer fishing – no matter the species – this is a must-watch video.
