Recent Changes

Here are some recent changes I’ve made to RiverKeeper Flies. The changes include:

• Major update to the Fly Patterns page
• Added a Galleries page
• Added a Custom Flies page

Fly Patterns Page

There’s an old adage  “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

With that in mind, I’ve been busy revising the Fly Patterns page to provide a simpler method of finding flies. Clicking any picture on the new Fly Patterns page will take you to a separate page with a fly picture and fly name. Just click on the fly name for a link to the fly pattern sheet.

In addition, I’ve added a new feature I call Fly Boxes. You’ll find recommended fly patterns for the boxes listed. These came about because of the posts Crooked River Flies – Done, New to Fly Fishing? What Flies Should I Use? and What Nymphs Should I Use? 

Remember, even if you don’t tie flies, check them out as I’ve included pictures of real insects (where possible) to show what they imitate. Many of them can be found at your local fly shop. If not, let me know and I can tie them for you.

Here’s how the Fly Patterns page is organized:

• Mayflies
• Caddis
• Stoneflies
• Midges
• Terrestrials
• Lake Flies
• Steelhead Flies
• Fly Boxes – Crooked River Flies; Basic Dry Flies; Basic Nymph Flies

Check out the new Fly Patterns page.

In addition, you’ll see a few new fly patterns:

• Matts Fur
• Schroeders Parachute Hopper
• RiverKeeper Stonefly Nymph
• Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph

Custom Flies Page

You’ll find Custom Flies on the menu bar. I decided to add this page as a reminder that I sell my flies.

I hope you are enjoying the RiverKeeper Flies website.
