Plan a fly fishing journey to the Kenai River in Alaska at least one time in your life.

A picture of a Kenai river  gravel bar bar we love very much in fall color. Fly fishing to Irideus is made real during moments like this. Its far beyond fly fishing yet a soulful human experience. The trophy fish are not to shabby either!
A nice read can be found about Alaska fly fishing below.

Fly fishing solitude can be found on any given day on a trout stream.

There comes a time when the ringing phone, deadlines and human toils leave us drained. Mother nature is happy to re fuel any of us any time any day of the week. All you have to do is stop and pick up your fly rod. Turn the static of the world off and head to your local stream.

Looking close at the exoskeleton of a stonefly it is clear there is something bigger working while we are on the job as humans. It is also a reminder our sink tip approach to the day may be a week behind these now flying insects. Learn to love the life cycle of nature its the best way to free your mind on any given day!
Even the roads into your favorite fly fishing streams have the offering of peace on the mind. Think only of water it leads.
Letting the big trout you landed back into the hole you know like the back of your hand is a great feeling. The energy the trout passes back to you will see you through yet another week of work. Maybe a month for that matter. Now the sun is on the wane and its time to hike home. Your mind will be relaxed. You will remember the simple things. Your eyes will now be open to see mother nature in her true light. Look around, soak up each step. Be thankful to have fly fishing in your life. It is really just a tool to use to be at one with something much bigger than all of us. Tred light and take care of the resources you love. They give so much back to all of us who know them!

The Irideus 2014 fly fishing flies for summer and the fly fishing lines to present them are unveiled!

A picture of  the Irideus Timothy Horner signature series hand painted and epoxy coated Potato Patach camp ground Helgramite Dobsonfly larvae. These are some of the most detailed trout flies in the world. They are also limited edition and not mass produced. Build a collection of the Irideus leggy stoneflies while we have them.
Living in Northern California you can not help but form a true love for the Hydropsych Caddis fly larvae. This is one fly fishing fly rendition of one of our favorite offerings.Horner's leggy Hydropsych caddis flies have fooled some of the most picky natural feeding steelhead in our local rivers like the Feather river and Sacramento river. It has proved to make a blue ribbon trout fly also in our local mountain streams and creeks. This is one Irideus fly fishing fly pattern you should own.
We are not big fans of using bubble indicators. There is a time and place for these but we have been experimenting with edible indicators on our spey fly rods. The irideus Dry Stonefly is a salmon fly rendition with hopper like attributes. Its a very exciting fly trout and steelhead fly to fish alone, as a dropper or full on steelhead indicator. This is one of the flies in our new 2014 dry fly series. We also have a few new waking fly patterns sure to impress the greats in our sport. We have a true love for the take of steelhead and trout on a swung waking fly. Some time we will fish this way all day long just to get that one explosion of water and fly! Speaking of our new dry flies EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK, check out the mice and rat collection!
This is a picture of the 2014 Irideus Heavy Hitter Raton 6 inch Timothy Horner Tube fly. If you do not get easily exited we have an idea for you. Go to a river or stream where you know big brown trout hold. Tie the rat tube fly on and fish it at grey light lin the morning and right after the sun goes down through sunset. Chances are you will thank us for the trophy trout of a life time. This is a truly amazing work of fish catching art. The irideus rat tube fly should be fished on heavier leader than normal. It will provide many years of enjoyment with the hook being replaceable.
Of coarse the new summer brings more custom Irideus fly fishing fly nymph patterns to the international fly fishing community and industry. We have become well know for taking our flies to the next level and this summers trout season kicks of with some of the best flies we have ever offered the public.
