Frosty Dubbing

“Frosty Dubbing all one type of fibre; curious stuff. Frosty looks translucent until you turn it and it seems to gleam. I guess this has a flashier side or angle to the fibre, but whatever it is that does it the effect is pleasing and prevents this becoming brash or harsh. From the pack the fibres…

Realistic Cicada Fly

“I ordered one in gold, and it is of excellent quality. I am excited to test it out! I probably will go back and buy the set!”

Fly Tying Materials

Beetle LEGS

Trout absolutely shredded this beetle. Didn’t think the legs would make that much of a difference but they did!

Furled Leader – Grayling

“Hemingway’s Grayling leader uses fine monofilament nylon as the raw material. As with ‘laid’ ropes, once the furl is twisted together the ends need to be finished in some way to prevent them fraying. Hemingway’s has opted to loop both ends which does the job well and suits most fly fishers – it lets me…

Hemingway’s Realistic Wings

“Wings? You want wings? We have wings! There are three types here: May Fly, Caddis and Stone Fly. All are made in the same way – a pre-cut shape on a backing sheet, all printed with details that suggest the natural wing. May Fly and Caddis come as pairs, Stone Fly as two separate wings.…

Hemingway’s Realistic Mayfly Wings

“I bought these and have used them on several flies. I found them to be easy to work with. My suggestion would be to taper the tabs to a point versus a square point. Sometimes it’s more difficult to wrap the tabs. Once you get them tied in, they are awesome. They make your flies…

Realistic Hopper Bodies

“After 10 years of commercial fly tying, I have finally found a product line that supports innovation. These are the most realistic Hopper materials I have had the pleasure of tying with. I can’t wait for hopper season to come so I can watch trout swallow these off the surface. Do yourself a favor and…

Magnetic Net Release

“The prosaic name gives this away, without that I have a couple of cord loops and a small wooden oval – pull on the loops and you find powerful wee magnets holding the halves firmly together. Loop one end to a net, the other to a ring on a jacket, bag, pack, waders or waistcoat.…

All Round Dubbing

“…tied a couple of green caddis flies with the middle olive all round dubbing. It took a little getting used to tying small flies since all I’ve been tying recently is big saltwater flies but your dubbing is really nice to work with and the color looks really natural, I can’t wait for the season to start so…

Ted Cassar

UV Hare Dubbing Plus

“Three quite different dubbings here – two blend, one pure synthetic – and all three seem like well prepared dubbings. UV Hare Dubbing Plus blends hare with “fine sparking Antron and UV ice dubbing”. Actually, the pack says, “hare’s ear guard hairs” but this has a high proportion of under-fur in the mix and is certainly…

Hemingway’s CDC Feathers

Mayfly Tube Bodies

“I purchased a few packages of these tube bodies in different sizes and colors and have recently been playing with them. They make tying realistic looking extended dry fly bodies a breeze. Nice selection of colors and sizes, and easy to use.”

Tenkara Gear

“This represents a pair of Hemingway’s outfits, more or less complete with rod, line, flies, net and sling/pack – all the essentials to get started with tenkara fishing. Faced with the pieces I found it very easy to join them into a useable fishing outfit. The rod is telescopic with a knotted nylon cord at…

Maruto Carp Fly Hooks – Barbed, Reversed, Black Nickel – 8832-SSC+CP

“Very interesting hook. Very solid and strong and offset to the side which in my experience results in better hook ups. I can see this hooking working excellently as a trailer on an intruder of steelhead stinger style pattern.”

Tenkara Rod Petz

“Amazing rod at an affordable price! I have tried out a few different tenkara rods and owned one from a generic manufacturer before getting my hands on the Hemingways Petz rod. This rod puts them all to shame. The petz rod has a beautiful feel in hand, casts as smooth as butter yet has enough…

Tenkara Landing Net Small

“I love your Small Tenkara Landing Net! Not only made with very good craftsmanship, but the curved Tenkara handle design allows for nestling in the hand and then allow then for a special, secure “flick” of the wrist to dip up trout (best is tail first; then the mouth is available better for fly removal).…

Hemingway’s Trout Landing Net

“Generally speaking, fly anglers want functional products that are also aesthetically pleasing. The Trout Landing Net by Hemingway’s hits the bill for both. The net is made of soft nylon so the creation takes into consideration the conservation of the fish. More than that, the finish applied to the handle indicates a pride of workmanship and…

Beaver Dubbing Plus

“Beaver Dubbing Plus blends beaver with a “touch of superfine sparkling Antron”. Again, the main constituent in the mix is a natural under-fur. Beaver, like muskrat, has a very fine dense under-fur which does a fine job on dries. Personally, I think it’s the fine texture of the hair, which suits beaver to dries and…

Dubbing – Hare Plus UV

“Great Dubbing. With some mixes I find the ratio of guard hairs to underfur very inconsistent. With the Hares Ear Plus ever mix I have used has been very consistent and ties some very buggy and good looking flies. The UV is subtle but adds a nice attractant quality to flies tied with it.”

Realistic Stonefly Nymph Wing Buds & Back

Tube Bodies

“…Tube Body’s are made from long dubbing fibre wound around a mandrel (often a needle of some sort) cemented and removed from the former. These tubes are tough so they can withstand casting, how they stand up to a few fish chewing on them is down to the fish and a little luck. On a…

Realistic Flies
