The wet flies most appreciated on our lakes are the silver rats, undertaker, green stonefly, green machines and the blue charm. Dry fly fishing is extremely exciting in our rivers because of the quality of the water. The flies the most used here are the bombers. We have a complete assortment for sale in our store.
