This site was created mostly for my enjoyment and to hopefully provide other anglers in the area information about what patterns might be helpful. A few notes:

• I do not guarantee that any of these patterns will catch fish for you. Many of them catch trout for me and some are just fun to tie!

• I have tried to include the originating author in the recipes. If you know the correct author and I have it wrong or blank, please let me know. I like to give credit where credit is due!

• If you have a pattern that you would like to share, or have a better image of one of the patterns here, feel free to send it along! On individual fly pages, click on image to see enlarged view.

• For more on trout fishing in Southeast Minnesota including guiding service and regularly updated stream conditions, see the On The Fly Guiding.

• See images of local natural flies and other insects trout eat here.
