Not a simple fly, the smart Clouser is tied using a jig hook and a little lead in the nose to get the balance of the rattle eyes correct. The Smart Clouser seeks out largemouth bass and other species, like a guided missile, and hooks them. Works especially well in low light and stained water situations. Chartreuse over white size 4 jig hook. Tied by me and unavailable in any other fly shop. Other colors available on special ordering. Quantity discounts.

The bluegill. I have embarked on photographing the smaller size fish in different species, and this bluegill is the first to make print. The reason I photograph smaller fish is that they seem to be more pristine than their elders, with more perfect features and less grotesqueness than oversize fish … kind of like people.

I print these myself on archival paper using archival ink, and all prints smaller than 16×20 are on oversize paper. The paper is a toothy paper that has the feeling of watercolor paper while retaining the sharpness of a photograph.

Just a good old fashioned bumper stickers. Say it loud! A great and affordable add-on for any kayak or Hummer.

A futuristic glimpse at what carp will look like in a thousand years when they turn carnivore and eat humans. Archival print – image size is 3.7 X 9 inches and printed on 8.5X11 rag paper.

The Coyote Carp Fly came from research, development and testing of Texas Flats Guide Joel Hays. Carp respond to different flies at different times of the year, but this fly has proven to produce over a longer period than many other common carp flies.

The TFC Approved Eagle Claw 413CAT Eagle Claw Cad/Tin plated hook is a great hook for tying shallow Clousers and other flies that may be difficult to get running hook-up. Size 2 fits most common warmwater applications, and the hook is the same as the Eagle Claw 410 except for the plating.

Twenty count of Eagle Claw #410 Bronze O’Shaughnessy forged heavy wire hooks. Sixty degree hooks for multiple fly tying purposes. Great freshwater alternative to many commonly used hooks.

I wouldn’t carry ‘em if I didn’t believe in ‘em! For those of us who are visually challenged close-up, Flex Spex takes one more variable out of your day on the water. Simply bend the arms to the position you want – in front of your sunglasses, eyes or other glasses, and see what you are tying on!

They are made with superior components, and have a strong magnet that clicks the two halves together above the bill of your hat. Or, simply bend them up out of the way and don’t click them together. The clips are strong, wide gator-type clips that really hold, and the wire arms don’t weaken after use either.

They come in 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 magnification, and I suggest using the same magnification you use for the respective flies you are tying. The 2.5′s will tie the smallest fly you would ever consider.

Made in the USA.

A fleece rod sock for standard nine foot four piece rods. Necessity is the mother of this invention. I didn’t like backpacking in with clanky rod tubes but wanted more rod protection, thus the fleece rod sock is born.

No need for labels because each sock is a unique design. If you can color code your memory, then this rod sock will automatically be recognized as holding your favorite rod.

Be sure to let me know if you need it shortened for shorter rod lengths! I will do that for no extra charge.

This bench slides onto the top of your common big box purchased fly tying table. It raises the vise off the table, creating a more ergonomic work surface, and secures the vise better than a pedestal. It has two heights. There are no pre-drilled holes, but once you have one of these, you can add the hole for the vise as well as holes for putting commonly used tools into. The sky is the limit when it comes to customizing this accessory, and I left it open to you to use your imagination.

I can add the magnets across the front – countersunk and cemented, for an additional 20. Please specify on checkout. They are very high powered and handy.

-Of course table, parts and pieces are not included!-

A newly revised classic! “Fly-Fishing the Texas Hill Country – A Guide to Fishing and Lodging on Texas Rivers,” revised and updated in 2009 by Kevin Hutchison is again in print! This is one book every Texas Fly Fisher should have in their library. I know there will be a limited number of these available to the public, and you can expect the price to skyrocket once they are all gone. I have a limited quantity of these, and when they’re gone, you can expect them to be gone for awhile. This is the first reprinting since 2009. These copies are autographed by the author.

You have read, and heard all the talk. Now here’s your chance to try out a furled monofilament leader! They are hand made locally by Robin’s Custom Leaders, and are twisted to take advantage of loop-to-loop connections. This means you simply loop the tippet and attach to the second loop. One the tippet gets too short, simply remove that and loop another length of tippet on the leader.
This leader weight works best when throwing rods in the 4,5 and 6 weight range typically needed for smaller flies and delicate presentation to trout and other wary fish.

It looks a little like a Cliff’s Box, but has a better grade of slit foam and fits in your shirt pocket or other typical pockets of vests and packs. Plenty of headroom for your flies so they don’t get smashed when closed. It looks homemade because it is, and that’s part of the charm. You can get it in plain, or random stickers will be applied to style your box. Fly NOT INCLUDED.

At first glance, it looks like a plain old Clouser, but this one I designed especially for aggressive hybrid bass. Most hybrids are lost due to bad hook penetration. The hook is the key. It’s a killer hook designed to penetrate tough mouths of fish like tarpon – the Tiemco 600SP. It’s a great hook, but it is expensive and hard to find in this size.

Ingredients; Tiemco 600SP size 2 | buck tail red / white | silver flash | flat waxed 210 thread | extra coats hardhead for durability

New to TFC testing, the Mustad Circle 60-degree Jig hook could be the answer to running clean, good action and holding the fragile mouth of great headbangers like largemouth bass and stripers. Only time and testing will tell. They are coated with “Duratin”, so they are saltwater ready, and more fish friendly than stainless steel.

Poachers, Crooks and Other Turkeys is a compilation of entries in the Lone Star Outdoor News Game Warden Blotter. The blotter, one of the bimonthly newspaper’s most popular features, tells the stories of wildlife crime and game wardens’ heroism.

Tales about “hunters” gone bad and “anglers” with a few too many fish in the bag are all too common – but never the same. Each one has its own wrinkles and its own unique bit of stupidity or ignorance. But crime isn’t the only part of a game warden’s job. They also come to the rescue of outdoorsmen in need, and education is one of the biggest parts of their job.

With Poachers, Crooks and Other Turkeys, Lone Star Outdoor News celebrates five years of publication. Covering all aspects of hunting and fishing in Texas, the newspaper seeks to inform readers about the state they love and enlighten them to what is happening around them. The blotter has been a part of every issue since the paper’s inception in 2004, and it remains a reader favorite.

The book is 5 inches by 8 inches and has more than 200 pages of stories from the Game Warden Blotter.

It’s a classic! It’s chartreuse and hot pink, buck tail and calf tail respectively. Ingredients include; Mustad C70SD size 2 | 210 flat waxed chartreuse thread | solid brass plain 3/16 eyes | saltwater gold flash | extra hardhead to prevent premature detonation from all toothy saltwater fish. This is the famous fly that caught so many flounder in Galveston that my arm almost fell off.

This is a stupid simple product. What you do is put the hose under your hood and shut the hood on it, wedging it in and leaving the loop out. You can do the same thing on your back hatch. Run your kayak security straps through the loops (they’re about a foot long) and you now have the security part of strapping down your kayak done. It eliminates having to crawl under your car, drill holes, bolt on hooks and eyes. The loop of strap is super strong, epoxied and aluminum riveted at the joint point. The hose is top quality and will not come apart at the slits.
