I’ve been tying flies for many years and would like you to catch fish using some RiverKeeper Flies.

I’m not a commercial fly tyer. I call myself a custom fly tyer. What does that mean? I’ll tie almost anything you need to catch a fish…at least I’ll try. For more about my fly tying journey, be sure to read the About Me page.

I have over 300 fly pattern sheets on my RiverKeeper Flies website for you to choose from. And I keep adding fly patterns too. Don’t see that special fly? Just contact me using the Comment section below and ask.

Here are a few examples…

All flies are tied with barbless or de-barbed hooks unless requested otherwise and will look similar to those in the pictures. Some materials may be substituted.

The minimum number of flies for an order is 4 of each style.

Pricing begins at $3.50 per fly and is based upon the time it takes to tie the fly as well as the materials needed.

I don’t carry much inventory and tie orders by the date I receive your order.

Just leave a comment below or by email (riverkeeperflies@gmail.com) and I’ll get back to you to discuss timeline and pricing.

(In addition, most people don’t know and I certainly wasn’t aware I needed to include a 10% Federal Excise tax into the pricing of my flies. What does that mean? I’m required to pay a quarterly payment to the US Treasury of 10% of the retail price of any fly I sell.)

  1. Hello John,
    Just enjoyed listened to the podcast on the Metolious. I’m planning on spending the first week of June ’24 at the house place you mentioned. Fortunately I’ll be with a guy from Bend who knows his way around. Anyway I was hoping to commission you to tie me an assortment of appropriate flies for that season. Like you I don’t really nymph much. The closest I get is a dry dropper. Would 3 dozen be enough to get me started. My home river is the San Juan so I’m hoping to be able to apply my experience there on your river.

  7. Hi John –
    I used to tie my own but then i got old with shaky hands (which made it super frustrating – LOL). Anyway I am looking to fill out my fishing set with a few uncommon flies that work well where I fish for brook trout. The patterns I am looking for are a Peacock Despair and an Emerald Despair. A description can be found at:

    https://globalflyfisher.com/video/peacock-despair

    I am looking to get 6 of each if possible. The Emerald variant replaces the peacock hurl body with green seal fur with gold ribbing, otherwise its identical.

  24. I live in Idaho in St Anthony on the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River and also fish the South Fork from Palisades Dam down river to the confluence with the Henry’s Fork. Never fished a lot of soft hackles but want to because at 79 my eyes are having a harder time now seeing the drys on the water. Because of that I fish more and more Hi Viz which helps. Thinking I will not need to see the takes on soft hackle flies. How do I purchase some of your RiverKeeper Soft Hackle Cripple flies? Also in the summer the PMD’s on the South Fork tend to have a bit of pink color to them. What do you suggest?

    Also I am a Oregon Native and was born in and raised in Vale not to far from you.

    I’m looking for a dozen (or two) of size 20 BWO Comparadun emergers. They should be dun deer hair wing, olive body (dubbed or tying thread), and zelon or body flair trailing shuck. The zelon would be amber to golden brown. The body flair would be golden brown. I like the shuck to be fairly sparse, but I can trim to my preference.

    I’ve had operations on my hands and have trouble tying flies smaller than 18’s.

  41. Interesting website….Anything fly tying or fly fishing peaks my interest. Here is my situation that I would like some feedback by you….Have you ever heard of the tiny needle stonefly? I encounter these flies in the fall on the Maryland tailwaters namely the Yough and Savage River. These little stones fly around in the air and land on the water and the trout gobble them up like candy. Since I have failed miserably trying to imitate these tiny insects, was hoping you could help me out…Thanks in advance.

      Thanks for leaving a Comment. No, I’ve never heard of your little stoneflies. Perhaps because we live on different coasts the bugs are different as well. You’ll have to keep searching for a geographically closer advisor. Take a look at http://www.troutnut.com – someone there may be able to help.

  52. Hello, my name is Steve Jones and I live in Southern California. In January I will be going to Argentina (Patagonia) and fishing for large trout in Jurassic Lake. There are very large trout in this lake and I want to make sure that I have strong, sharp, best quality hooks that are tied well (the best hooks that are made). I have no problem paying for the best on this trip. I am also thinking about going with a 2X strong hook vs. a 1X because these I don’t want to lose a 15 lb trout due to the hook bending out. Here is a recommended list of flies that I was given for this trip:
    Nymphs:
    Copper John (Red/Green/Chartreusse) sizes 10/12.
    Prince Nymph (with and without bead heads) size 8/10/12
    Scuds sizes 10/12/14 (olive green/tan/roange/brown)
    Pheasant tail with and without bead heads – sizes 8/10/12
    Hare’s Ear regular color/olive green – sizes 10/12.

    Streamers:
    Squirrel Streamer (black/olive) – sizes 6/8.
    Balanced leech (black, olive, usually guides tie them with a mix of UV dubbing of the colors) – sizes 8/10/12.
    Bunny leech (black/olive) sizes 6/8/10
    Small leech patterns with rabbit fur.
    Woolly buggers (black/olive/white) with and without bead head – sizes 6 to 12)

    Dry Flies:
    Chubby Chernovyl – 4/6
    Chernovyl Ant (black and orange or blake and yellow combinations)size 6
    Gipsy King (black) size 6
    Fat Albert – size 6

    I would want about 5 flies for each of these sizes/colors.

    Would that type of order be of interest to you? What would be the cost?

    Steve

  67. Hi John –

    Once again you were a great hit at our Mckenzie Flyfishers meeting on Monday. Thanks for doing a great job! I was present at your last visit to MFF and you really did change my success on the Metolius.

    I am interested in purchasing some flies from you. Specifically I am looking for three each: Purple Haze, Beetle Bailey, Rusty Spinner and $3 Dip, plus 5 each Soft Hackle Cripple (River Keeper) which you indicated should be fished as a dry fly on the Metolius.

    Also, I am going on a four day trip on the Deschutes mid-May and would like a selection of flies you recommend. Maybe 15 total. Here is what the guide suggests, plus I will be nymphing, so some stone and salmon nymphs would be ok.

    Guide recommends:Flies:
    Dry Flies: although there are myriad stonefly patterns out there my favorites are the Norm Wood’s Special and the Clark’s Stone, and Chubby Chernobyl in sizes #6 and #8. You should also carry some smaller caddises (#12-#16), and some Mayfly patterns: Parachute Adams (#16-#18), Pale Morning Dun imitations (#16-#18), as well as a few Green Drakes (#8-#10).
    Nymphs: Various stonefly nymphs work well. The Girdle Bug is a good choice(#6-#8). Other nymphs to bring include Prince Nymphs (#12-#16), Pheasant Tails (#14-#16), and red Copper Johns (#14-#16). Many other patterns, of course, also work well.
    Other fishing accessories: Pliers or hemostats, nippers, tapered leaders (9’ 3x being preferable for this time of year), tippets (2x, 3x and 4x is all you need for this date), fly floatant, and split shots and strike indicators (if you want to nymph).

    Thanks and let me know your recommendations.

    Best,

    Reply

    1. Dave

      Thanks for your comment. I believe you are referencing the Green Drake Hairwing Dun fly I selected for a Throw Back Thursday Fly and have since added to the Fly Patterns pages. The fly pattern sheet uses the recipe from Rene’ Harrop. I pulled out a “variant” from my fly box.

      I’ve seen both colors on Green Drakes from the Metolius. The real bugs have 3 dark tails, which I believe the moose body hair imitates quite well. I’ve used shades of brown on most of the flies I tie for the Metolius, because that’s the color I see most of the time. There are bugs with quite a bit of yellow instead of the brown highlights.

      Hope that answers your question.

    Incidentally, wonderful presentation!

    Dan

  92. I would like to purchase a dozen or so each of your Chubby Chernobyl and size 14 parachute Adams. I deal with a few guides and I would like to show them your work.

  94. I am a fisherman in Michigan and interested in smaller dry flies. I don’t tie myself. The Improved Mathews Sparkle Dun – BWO would be something I would be interested in buying if you could tie some. How many would I have to order? Do you have any other emerger pattern that you would think I would like? I liked the story of the Goddard Caddis on your site. I usually use an indicator fly like that so that I can have an idea of where the smaller fly might be. The Goddard would work for that, but then so does many others.

    Thanks in advance for responding.

      Thanks for your comment. Happy to know you enjoyed the Goddard Caddis Throw Back Thursday Fly post.

      I can certainly provide some BWO flies for you. The other emerger fly I’d recommend is the BWO – CDC & Biot. I fish them in 16’s & 18’s.

      I’ll send you an email in the near future and we can discuss the flies and quantities you’d like to purchase.

      Thanks for your interest!

      John
