🖤 The Black Woolly Bugger

Made by @HackleandHerls

A timeless classic and one of the most versatile flies ever tied. Imitating everything from leeches and baitfish to stoneflies and nymphs, this pattern has earned its place in every angler’s box. The black variation is especially deadly in stained water, low light, and when fish are chasing silhouettes.

Whether you’re targeting trout, bass, or even steelhead, the Woolly Bugger’s pulsing marabou tail and flowing hackle bring it to life with every strip. It’s not just a fly—it’s a confidence pattern.

📌 Pro tip: Fish it deep with weight for big takes, or strip it shallow for aggressive strikes.

Atlantic Blue Charm

✨ Atlantic Blue Charm ✨

Made by @HackleandHerls

A legendary salmon fly with roots deep in Atlantic Canada tradition. The Blue Charm shines on East Coast rivers, especially the world-famous Margaree River in Nova Scotia. Its sleek blue body, golden tail, and subtle wing create a timeless silhouette that’s irresistible to Atlantic salmon.

🎣 More than just a fly, it’s a connection to generations of anglers who have cast it into clear runs and watched silver flash from the depths.

📌 Pro tip: Fish it on overcast days or in clear summer flows when salmon get selective.

BWO Soft Hackle

Good guess for tiny hatch on overcast days, best tied 18 and smaller. Use a 2x Heavy 1x Long hook, I prefer TMC 3761/Daichii 1560.

Bucktail minnow

Sometimes hard to find good polar bear hair . Bucktail is close to polar bear material without the sheen . But add a few strands flashabou and you’re good to go . This is a great colour for coho and springs

Great beach fly. All the salmon and trout love this fly.

Great beach and river fly for when you need a little more weight

Fantastic for salmon off the beach and rivers.

Danica Nymph

Usually tied as a mayfly nymph but I’ve only tied it larger as a quick tie stonefly nymph.

Great beach casting fly as the chain bead eyes will take a beating off the rocks. It also whistles as it's zipping past your head

Simple bug using a heavy wire hook. Great during high water on Vancouver Island rivers when the fish are a few feet from shore

Floating Mylar Minnow *Needs a Name

Top water fly with exceptional results in salt water esturaries. It isn't a popper, but is very sporatic when stripping. The head is foam and body hollow which holds an air pocket until your next cast. As far as I can tell there isn't another fly like this and I haven't come up with a name for it, so open for suggestions
