Finally named after my son after a long stretch of anonymity, this pattern has been dynamite in bull trout, brown trout and pike fisheries around my home in southern Alberta. Like most of my original patterns, there is much action built in to trigger predatory fish to strike. This makes a killer crayfish pattern from what I've been told in southern USA for large and smallmouth bass. Other colors that are exceptional are white, chartreuse, yellow and olive taking the place of the orange in the pattern. Watch the Video

Around my neck of the woods, meadow voles or field mice are overly abundant and some even take up residence in the foothills and forests of Southern Alberta. I designed this pattern after being somewhat unsatisfied with the regular spun deer hair mice patterns that we are all accustomed to seeing. This pattern was designed to look realistic on and in the water as well as to add movement to the fly. With an articulated body, there is more action to the fly when swinging in the current or stripping in on a lake. The next time you are out pike or bass fishing in open field areas or fishing foothill/prairie rivers for large brown trout, be sure to try this one out. Watch the Video

A triad in simplest terms is defined as a "group of three". This pattern takes the theory of twin tails to the next level. This pattern has produced well for me over the years, especially for bull trout and brown trout. Other colors I like to tie this in include olive, black, pink, blue, chartreuse and yellow. Feel free to experiment with colors to suit your quarry. Watch the Video

Randall Kaufmann's greatest creation. An excellent attractor/imitative pattern that rides high and can be used to imitate hoppers, stones, caddis and drakes. Great for use in a "hopper dropper" rig. Watch the Video

This is a great streamer pattern invented by Ray Schmidt. Similar to a Madonna in body size and construction with the main difference being the 'rattler tail with a stinger hook. Try one when fish tend to be nipping the tails on larger streamers. Awesome on brookies and bulls. Watch the Video
