Is it really the fly, or is it your presentation? Allen Rupp, owner of Fly on the Water and Dave Whitlock’s legacy tier, has spent decades studying why classic patterns like the Clouser Minnow and Deceiver still out-fish “improved” modern ties. Swipe through for the lessons that will change how you pick flies, build durability into your ties, and design for the water instead of the likes. Swipe through for the biggest lessons, then hit the link in bio for the full episode and transcript.

Jaw droppingly awesome stuff just hit the bins from

Going to take an extra second to just say that 1) all else being equal it feels great to support the person who developed and popularized the game changer platform over other sources, but also 2) Blane’s flies coming out of the Chocklett Factory are head and shoulders better in quality than any other ‘knock offs’. Keep up the amazing work! Grateful to be able to carry them!

Taking stomach samples is an important step in dialing in what fish are eating. But just remember... you don't have to change flies just because they haven't been eating what you've been catching them on ;) Be sure to comment if you also hate those little black caddis!
