2021 Flies / Innovative Proven Signature Patters

This year we have released 47 New Patterns that either float better, sink faster, swim better, move more, or just have that “it” factor to them. From beautiful dry flies like the Fat Angie that can hold up 9 tungsten beads, to our selection of Team USA Euro Nymphs, we continue to drive what’s next in the fly world. Watch the video to see all the new patterns in the round.


Fat Angie

Designed by Signature Tyer

Charlie Craven

While the Fat Angie started as a much more realistic and singular imitation of a flying ant, it has morphed into a far more general attractor pattern that lends itself well to a variety of insect types. Tied on a curved Klinkhammer style hook to set the butt end realistically down in the surface film and a foam body, the Fat Angie is finished off with durable super floss legs, a hot pink indicator for visibility and a multi-tonal polypropylene macramé yarn wing. This wing is simply the most buoyant material I’ve ever used. The Fat Angie is my first release in new era of dry-dropper patterns with its large surface area and slim profile. Save some bin space for this one, it’s gonna be big.
