Dry flies have never been my favorite. I’ve been playing with ideas for quite a while and sent a bunch out to be tested. The results are in, and they’ve all produced good fish. The floating flash midge, pgh mayfly, and bull creek caddis are now going to be for sale. The pgh mayfly and bull creek caddis are tied with my American AF dubbing. #pghflyco #veevusfishing #flyfishing #fishing #trout #troutfishing #instagram #instagood #art #artistsoninstagram #orvis #simms #tforods #redington #rossreels #troutflies
Three variations of the PGH Prince. The pearl prince, flash prince, and Pgh Prince (world’s best copper John knockoff, claiming it now.). Tied on @risenfly hooks with @veevusfishing thread and tinsel. These have become many of fishermen’s go to trout fly in various colors. Heavy, bright, and durable. #pghflyco #veevusfishing #risenfly #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flyfishing #flyfishpa #fishing #trout #troutflies #steelhead #steelheadfishing #steelheadflies #art #instagram #instagood #art #redingtongear #tforods #orvis #solarez
The KO Shiner is a synthetic fur streamer designed to emulate the Emerald Shiner. Tied on a size 10 and lead wrapped, it has just enough weight to naturally drift and respond well to light stripping. The Bleeding Leech is another streamer that was born out of my love for bass fishing at an early age. Tied also on a size 10, the leech uses three kind of dubbing and lead wrap as well as a bead to sink quickly. Then ice dubbing has a different action than the zonker strip in natural water current. Both of these streamers have brought plenty of fish into nets across the country. #pghflyco #veevus #veevusthread #koshiner #fishing #flyfishing #bassonthefly #flyfishpa #flytying #flytyingjunkie #steelhead #stlhd #instagram #instagood #orvispittsburgh #orvis #redington #risenfly #art

I always love getting pictures of wild trout caught on flies i tied. They’re the ultimate test. Thank you to Fred for the pictures! #pghflyco #fishing #flyfishing #flyfishpa #trout #troutfishing
Some dubbing samples being shipped to a trusted tyer in Michigan this week. The feedback i receive will determine whether they’ll be for sale or reformulated. We are trying to do it all over here. #pghflyco #veevusfishing #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flytyingaddict #diy #dubbing #flyfishing
The PGH Pearl Prince. I’ve been absolutely obsessed with wrapping holographic tinsel in pearl tinsel. The colors it creates are mind blowing and ever changing depending on perception. Also, I’ve had plenty of people ask for smaller stoneflies. I haven’t been able to find a smaller curved hook, but I can reduce the size a bit with a straight hook. All tied with @veevusfishing thread and tinsel. #pghflyco #veevusfishing #livelylegz #risenfly #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flytyingart #art #instagram #instagood #fishing #troutfishing #troutflies #steelhead #stlhd #steelheadflies #flyfishpa #greatlakessteelhead #redingtonrods
Royal PT’s and Royal Flash are my best mayfly imitations. I can’t recommend them enough. Also, I have a few caddis prototypes going out this week.

hit the small streams and found gold and rainbows slamming them both on the golden stonefly By PGH Fly co go check him out makes amazing flies and ties great quality #flyfishing #flyfishingpa #smallstreams #trout #fishusa #flyrod #pghflyco
I can’t find a way to take a picture that shows the absolutely wild color contrast in the midges. A base layer of @veevusfishing holographic tinsel, and a top layer of pearl tinsel. You get the base color with a wild reflective quality depending on the light and the angle that I’m very curious to see in action. If you aren’t playing around, why are you even tying? #pghflyco #veevusfishing #orvis #flytyingjunkie #flytyingaddict #trout #troutflies #troutfishing #stlhd #steelheadflyfishing #steelhead #fishing #simmsfishing #redingtonrods #rioflylines #scientificangler #instagram #instagood #art
The PGH quill stoner is one of my flies I am the most proud of. A lot has went into building these into what they are. I went through 4 kind of quill, quill wrap, and UV resin to figure these things out. These are a favorite of my Midwest customers. #pghflyco #livelylegz #veevusfishing #stlhd #steelhead #steelheadflyfishing #trout #troutfishing #fishing #orvis #instagram #instagood #art
Many of you have requested barbless options. I’ll have a selection of flies tied on barbless hooks here soon. Shout out to @risenfly, these hooks definitely meet my size and quality requirements. #pghflyco #veevusfishing #risenfly #flytying #flytyingjunkie #trout #troutflies #steehead #steelheadflies
The Yinzer stone was a dumb idea brought to fruition, and has become a very successful fly. Using @veevusfishing black holographic tinsel and mottled yellow @livelylegz it combines the the black and golden stonefly into one. The Black Flash stone has come about from my love for holographic tinsel and my pgh stoner pattern. Both of these flies will be available at the @appalachianflyfishingfest #pghflyco #livelylegz #veevusfishing #stlhd #steelhead #steelheadflyfishing #steelheadonthefly #trout #troutfly #troutflies #flyfishpa #stoneflynymph #yinzer #yinz #instagram #instagood #art #orvis #appalachia #simms #fishing #flyfishing #flytyingjunkie #pittsburgh
Getting back into the swing of things with some flash midges and Royal PT’s. Heavily inspired by the disco midge, the red flash midge uses UV dub and a secret weapon. These midges are absolutely deadly in the right conditions. #pghflyco #veevusfishing #livelylegz #troutflies #flytying #flytyingjunkie #identafly #stlhd #steelheadflies #trout #troutflies #orvis #simms #redington #instagram #instagood #art #fishing #flyfishpa

All part of the testing process. The bleeding leech does great with salt water catfish. The coloring on the KO Tiger and KO Shiner need some work as they’re fading quickly in the salt water. Pretty soon I’ll have a list of saltwater friendly signature patterns. Stay tuned! #pghflyco #veevus #saltwaterflies #florida #flyfishingflorida #orvis #redington #cortlandline #flyfishing

A collection of PGH Stoners heading north to Canada this week. I have to say, the Yinzer Stone is looking killer. The Classic stone has been catching fish for 7 years straight. I can’t help but notice the way the light reacts with @veevusfishing holographic tinsel, no wonder why it’s quickly becoming a best seller. #pghflyco #livelylegz #veevus #veevusthread #mustad #kumotohook #solarezuv #oros #orvis #simms #redington #tforods #stlhd #steelheadflies #eriepa #flyfishpa #fullingmill #harelinedubbin #wapsi #troutflies #flytying #flytyingjunkie
These flash midges are simple, yet incredibly effective. The quill midges give a more natural presentation. I’m putting together a box that should be available on my website this week. I’m shooting for 3 dozen or so. All variations of PGH Stoners, Pgh Princes, flash princes, royal PT, Royal Flash, KO emeralds, and bleeding Leeches. I’ll have more information soon.

A returning local customer reached out with an odd request. He had shot a gray fox (legally) and tanned it himself, and wanted to know if I could tie him some nymphs. That’s the kind of weird stuff we like here at PGH Fly Co.

If I had to pick a stocked trout fly, it would be the rabbit prince. Tied from dubbing made from my personal pet rabbits. Taken from their seasonal coat sheddings, it’s air separated, blended, dyed (if needed), and blended again.
