Our Story

The Beginning

Born on the Bay

With over a decade of fishing experience and just under 8 years with a fly rod we’ve turned to create our own fish food. All flies, bucktails and spinners are 100% hand tied, poured, and painted here in Maryland. I take much pride in my work. Most flies and spinners are made in small batches to ensure a good product. So when you get your hands on any of my “fish food”, just know they are tied with some of the best tying materials, durable, and bad to the bone.

Handcrafted

Every Fly Tells a Story

Each pattern is designed for the Chesapeake — tested on local water, refined over seasons, and tied by hand one at a time.

Get Your Hands on Some “Fish Food”

How can you get your hands on some “fish food”? The best way to reach me is 443-934-6627. It’s hard to have inventory on multiple different patterns so I’ll pick your brain on what you’ve used in the past. Whether it’s colorways, fly style, or even specific materials you’ve had luck with. We’ll be able to get you what you need. You can find some of my work at Fishbones bait and tackle in Pasadena Maryland or Henlopen bait and tackle in Lewes, Delaware.

Looking to improve your fly game? I also offer a one hour, one on one casting lesson at $50. With this lesson you’ll have a big boost of knowledge and experience into the fly fishing world.

“Looking forward to hearing from you!
Tight lines.”
