House of Fly's West Great Falls shop manager, Ethan Crawford, offers his take on six of the best new fly tying products for 2026.

Bonefish aren't the pickest fish in the sea (except for when they are), but when you find something that works, why not roll with it?

The Flying V is a great match for blue-wing olive and March brown hatches on Montana's Missouri River and beyond. The pattern is easy to tie, easy to see on the water, and it takes fish on challenging flat surfaces stretches of rivers and streams. Triple bonus!!!

Sam Wike's Tailwater Charlie is a knock-em-dead pattern on Montana's Missouri River and matches sow bugs wherever they are found.

You can't have too many of these Party On Top Caddis in your fly box. Whether floating or slightly sunken, this fly excels on flat-surface waters and picky fish.

In this Episode of Project in the Wild, the Fly Project crew heads to the Missouri River to fish and celebrate a new year. Sam, Fred, Jay, Taylor and the rest of the gang do well swinging with double-hand rods.

It's difficult to buy meaningful gifts for a fly-fishing enthusiast. That's why our fly shop managers have built out a list of gifts that will make any fly fisher happy, no matter what their experience level.

Loc Waders' Lars Litzell ties the Creme Brulee, which is an effective fly for Atlantic salmon. Fish this fly on a variety of salmon rivers, including Norway's Orkla River, and you'll get takes.

You demand a lot from your waders—paramount being, they must keep you dry! Simms’ new Second Wind Stockingfoot Wader, available through a special partnership between Hose of Fly and Simms, does just that . . . at a $299.95 price point that doesn’t break the bank.

House of Fly's Saga Spey Rod may be the best tool for landing Idaho's Clearwater River steelhead.
