Recent Changes

I’ve been working hard adding fly patterns, so I thought I’d highlight a few recent changes you may not have seen. Even if you’re not a tyer, read on because some of these fly patterns are well known flies that can be purchased at your local fly shop. You might recognize the names…now you have a picture to go with it!

In addition, I’ll be adding a few steelhead fly patterns in the near future. Any favorites I should include on the RiverKeeper Flies Steelhead Flies page? Be sure to leave a comment about your favorite steelhead fly.

Why add more fly patterns you ask? Here’s a few reasons:

• First, I’m a fly tyer.
• Second, I’m a fly tyer..can’t help myself.
• When adding Throw Back Thursday Flies, several of my readers asked me to add fly pattern sheets for those flies. 
• In some of the posts, I discuss similar or variant fly patterns, so I’ve added them as well.

Here is a list in case you haven’t seen them. I’ve sorted them by the Fly Pattern page categories:
