Fly tying requires some basic equipment, a fly pattern to follow or replicate, and the appropriate materials for the particular fly pattern selected. Fly tying equipment enables the fly tyer to efficiently and effectively assemble and secure the materials on the hook. Fly tying materials were originally limited to various furs, feathers, threads and hooks. Today, many more natural and synthetic materials are used to tie flies. Fly patterns are the instructions or recipe required to create the fly. They specify hook sizes and types, the materials and colors to be used, as well as the sequence to be followed and the assembly methods. There are thousands of possible fly patterns available to the tier.

Vises & Toolstop
High-quality fly-tying materials are essential for tying any fly pattern: we offer a large selection of only the best. Our collection of fly-tying materials has something to offer tiers of all abilities. Browse our fly-tying materials and find exactly what you need to tie a variety of freshwater dry flies and nymphs.
Beads to Add Weight
Our selection of brass and tungsten beads allows you to easily add weight and colour to standard trout patterns and small streamers. For anglers who prefer their nymph patterns with a little more weight, try tungsten beads as they are twice as heavy as brass beads and heavier still than lead, allowing your flies to quickly get down into the feeding zone.
Get your fly in the strike zone faster with our selection of coneheads and eyes and other materials. These items add weight with a realistic profile and specifically designed for tying innovative freshwater and saltwater streamer patterns.
Explore our entire collection of fly-tying materials and find exactly what you need to create innovative, high-quality fresh and saltwater fly patterns.
More Realistic Patterns
Bring life to your favourite nymphs and streamers with Chenille. Similar to variegated tinsel chenille, this tying material offers more hot colour options and is a fantastic tying material for creating steelhead flies as well as streamers.
Match-The-Hatch
Start creating more realistic nymph bodies with our colourful variety of wire. The flexibility and strength of our wire makes tying midges and nymphs a whole lot easier. Using a fine-gauged coated copper wire, this material is perfect for adding bodies to innovative patterns like the Copper John and other prospecting nymphs.
Natural Bended Dubing
To easily achieve a more realistic buggy effect, explore our collection of natural blended dubbing. Our natural dubbing is much easier to work with compared to other synthetic materials, and a must-have material for adding life to nymphs and buoyancy to dries. Take your fly tying one step further by adding silicone legs to nymph patterns and large dry flies. Silicone legs are a superb tying material for adding legs to nymphs, foam dry fly patterns, poppers, and crab flies. Made from 100% silicone, these tying legs will not degrade when exposed to UV light.
Feathers and Synthetics
Our premium fly-tying feathers and synthetics are ideal for creating spey flies, streamers, and saltwater patterns. Our bucktails are meticulously dyed, never greasy, and make an excellent choice for tying all types of streamers and saltwater fly patterns.
Our premium grade marabou feathers are an essential material for adding lifelike movement to your imitations. Best used for tying saltwater flies and streamers, our marabou comes in several colours and will absolutely give your flies the action you need to produce more fish.
Add Attractors For Saltwater Flies
Add realistic strike-inducing motion to your baitfish flies with our assortment of fibers. A must-have material for saltwater flies, these fibers provide flash, sparkle, and semi-translucence. Fibers are incredibly lightweight and add maximum fish-attracting motion to all saltwater flies.
