Fly tying is an art that combines creativity, patience, and a deep understanding of the aquatic ecosystem. At Flys and Guides, we offer a unique service of custom fly-tying that not only enhances your fly-fishing experience but also allows you to engage with the sport on a deeper level.

The Art of Fly Tying

Fly tying is a craft that has been practiced for centuries. It involves creating imitation insects (or ‘flies’) that are used as bait in fly fishing. The goal is to create a fly that is so convincing, the fish can’t resist it. At Flys and Guides, we offer a wide range of flies, from Baker’s Dozen to Miracle Flys, Jig Heads, Mega Worms, and more. Each fly is meticulously crafted to mimic the insects found in the fishing waters of the Ozarks.

The Benefits of Custom Flies

Custom flies offer several benefits. They can be tailored to mimic the specific insects found in your fishing location, increasing your chances of a successful catch. They also allow you to experiment with different designs and materials, adding a creative element to your fishing experience. Plus, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of catching a fish on a fly that you’ve tied yourself.
