The pumpkin head fly is a local favourite and fantastic confidence pattern. When we’re on the water and looking for the first fish, you can bet there’s going to be a pumpkin head on the end of the line.

Who’s ready to dust off the rods and hit the water? The Bobberdown Team is ready to rip lips! Are you too?

The Zebra Copper John! Most guides and serious anglers never enter the river without several sizes, colors, and variations of the Copper John in their fly box. Do you have some in your fly box?

What’s your favourite species to chase?

The Goddard Caddis. Basically unsinkable. Time consuming to tie, but oh so satisfying to fish. Try twitching or skating it on the surface.

Cheers to all the generations that introduce the wonderful world of fly fishing to the next generation! 🎣

Although you might not know him personally, Adam gave the fly fishing world one of the best dry fly patterns of all time. The Parachute Adams is a favourite of the bobberdown team when you want to see the trout put on a show!

Therapy? Who needs therapy, just give us a fly rod and some crisp beverages!

The Rubberleg Prince. No, not talking about Elvis’s fictional son, this is the assassin nymph. A great confidence pattern when you want to show the fish something just a little different in highly pressured waters.

Fishing in the rain can be gruelling but definitely rewarding! 🌧☔️

The Elk Hair Caddis. This fantastic little dry fly might be small, but the fish you hook with it won’t be. Dating back to as early as 1957, try fishing this with a short retrieve causing a small wake. This will imitate adult Caddis flys and attract the fishes attention.

Who else is planning a big season of fly fishing? 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️

The simple but effective Beadhead Caddis Larva. A great pattern for late winter and can be found in our Spring Assortment. Great as a dropper fly but ensure you fish according to your local regulations!

Even though it might be winter now, soon we will be ditching the puffy and be slathering on the sunscreen! Time to start planning those spring trips!

A true favourite, the Stimulator. Based upon the “Sofa Pillow” developed around the 1940s, this is an absolute weapon when used as a searching pattern!
