 Welcome to my WEBSITE.  For more than 30 years I have been supplying the finest fishing flies to customers serious about their fly fishing.  I can outfit anglers with the correct patterns to fish even the most remote freshwater destinations.  While my catalog is perhaps the most complete listing of quality flies for Atlantic Salmon ever offered, it also includes extensive offerings for Steelhead, both Summer and Winter run, as well as patterns unique to the Great Lake's fishery.  I tie a complete selection for those traveling to Tierra del Fuego for Sea Trout or Alaska for Salmon, Trout or Grayling.  I also offer original and traditional flies needed for America's Trout streams and Smallmouth Bass rivers.  Trout flies for any destination.  I know all the areas and can supply the MUST flies to make trips a success.  Be it BWO emergers for the Malleo River, Hoppers for Rio Futaleufu, Hare & Copper nymphs for South Island streams, PMD's for Montana or Crickets for Pa.'s Letort.  I can supply dependable information and flies.  My catalog also includes flies for Panfish and Shad. 

     My flies have appeared in many books and magazines.  The books include 'Fishing Atlantic Salmon' by Joe & Pamela Bates, 'Atlantic Salmon Chronicles' by Richard Nightingale, 'Tube Flies' by Mark Mandell & Les Johnson, 'The Book Of Fly Patterns' by Eric Leiser, 'Fly Patterns Of Umpqua Feather Merchants' by Randall Kaufmann, 'Flies For Trout' by Dick Stewart & Farrow Allen, 'Terrestrials' by Harrison Steeves & Ed Koch, 'Fly Fishing For Smallmouth Bass' by Harry Murray, 'Bug Making', 'Tying Trout Flies' and 'Tying Warmwater Flies' by Boyd Pfeiffer and John Nagy's 4th edition of 'Steelhead Guide'.  I am currently working on a book detailing my Tube Fly tying methods and patterns.  It will be published in May 2008.  I am also a Fly Designer for Umpqua Feather Merchants.

     My 2008 catalog is now ready.  As this WEBSITE is only a sampling of what I offer, serious anglers can e-mail me at rodyerger@yahoo.com to receive my 40 page catalog.

                     McMURRAY ANTS & TYING COMPONENTS

     These are productive and easy to fish.  Originated by the late Ed Sutryn from McMurray, Pa.  I am now the only commercial maker of these unique Terrestrials.  My bodies are considered the most durable, finely finished and true to size.  They float lifelike in the surface film and are virtually unsinkable.  The glossy finish shows the most selective Trout a different look.  Balsa bodies finished with 5 coats of enamel.

          Black or Cinnamon        sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22
