Rainbow Salmon - February 2012 Fish of the Month!

We're dedicated to fly fishing education

Welcome to our new website, dedicated to the teaching of fly fishing basics, swapping stories, tying your own flies, leader making and, of course, fly rod building for which we're know worldwide! We have become an international leader in helping folks to do what we call "flycraft," which is make their own flies and make their own rods with our help. As you know, we have a web store, which has become one of the most popular destination for for folks 'fishing' on the web to purchase the highest quality products available, often at a more reasonable price than our competition.

 

Each month, we'll be showcasing a different fish, with full description, drawing and even a fly (with recipe) that can be used to catch the fish! This new feature is written by Peter "Trout" Thompson, who needs no introduction here at Hook & Hackle. He is one of the foremost experts on fish and fly fishing in North America. You can order his book, Freshwater Game Fish of North America, by clicking here.

New Blanks/Kits!

We are glad to announce a new series of blanks from North Fork Composites. All are made in the USA and designed by Gary Loomis. These tapers will be exclusive to Hook & Hackle and we believe these are some of the finest fly rod tapers ever made! Details will be forthcoming and products are expected to be available June 1, 2011. Stay tuned!
