Fuzzle Bugger Mk2
Originally created by cutting-edge fly tier Muz Wilson, the Fuzzle Bugger is our absolute favourite wet fly for early season prospecting along lake edges and shallow flats. We’ve created a Mk2 variation for Tasmanian waters, where the bright tail flashes mimic those of the Tasmanian froglet during frogging season. Now available through our online shop by clicking here

Claret Dabbler
We've just added the Claret Dabbler to our list of tied-to-order flies. Many lake guides will tell you that this is the fly to have during any Arthurs Lake or Little Pine dun hatches.

New fly patterns – The Earthworm and Pheasant Tail Red Spinner
I've been busy tying flies for customers this week, and have added two new patterns to the selection that we tie-to-order. The Earthworm was our best early season last year, and ideal for polaroiding the swollen creeks early in the season. The Pheasant Tail Red Spinner is one of our secret weapons for the Upper Macquarie and Brumbys Creek. Read more about the patterns and purchase them here
