Fly-Tying: Fly Craft Fullback

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2015
From Phil Rowley's Fly-Tying Column I divide fly patterns into three basic categories, suggestive, imitative and attractor. Each pattern category has a set of conditions when I am most likely to use them. Imitative patterns work best when a match the hatch philosophy is required, a common occurrence during the spring...

Fly-Tying: Ticking the Boxes – the Humped Back Spawner

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2014
On my fly pattern checklist, John Kent’s Humped Back Spawner ticks all the necessary boxes for a deadly freshwater shrimp or scud pattern. The Humped Back Spawner boasts a convincing realistic appearance, instantly appealing to any fly fisher the moment they see it. More importantly, trout view it with equal...
The Kaufmann Stone

Fly-Tying: The Kaufmann Stone

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2014
