Morrett Fly Fishing

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside and fishing with Greg “Father” Morrett for a number of years now and you are unlikely to ever meet a nicer man. Greg ties some of the most beautiful custom flies in the country and his deep knowledge of trout fishing is second to none. Greg has forgotten more about fly fishing for trout than most people will ever know. Reach out to Morrett Fly Fishing if you are planning a trip and need to have high-quality American tied flies made up.

Hand Tied Market

Hand Tied Market is a place for fly tyers to connect with each other, expand their customer base and trade flies with a vise to stream approach. Devised to showcase the delicate and intricate work of tiers, Hand Tied Market serves as a great central hub for tiers to congregate and expand their market. Follow the great work that HTM is doing to see tiers from all over the country and their flies.
