River Fly Box Collections for Sale

For your convenience, I have assembled these steelhead river flies in convenient box collections to make purchasing flies easier when planning a trip to a particular river. Each collection includes fly patterns of historic interest with up to one dozen flies that have been selected to be both popular and effective. While all these traditional patterns were developed decades ago, they have withstood the test of time and remain some of the most effective half-pounder and summer steelhead patterns created.

Collections are shipped USPS postage paid (Continental USA only) in a metal box with a transparent lid and flat cork insert for easy storage and carrying on the river.

You can purchase boxed collections of steelhead river flies in any quantity – Please remember when ordering flies they may differ from photo due to availability of materials and hooks. Substitutions will be at the discretion of Dennis at an equal or greater value.
