“The Reservoir Dog came about due to my desire to fish an articulated fly that would fish on smaller rods, starting with a 5wt and moving up.

The pattern was initially beta tested on Colorado Reservoirs loaded with cutbows and pike and eventually moved to some time in our Front Range rivers.

This is a great bob-n-weave streamer in stillwater and a wonderful streamer to swing in a river.

After a few months the design took a few drastic turns, eliminating one hook, maintaining the articulation with a 15mm shank, and building a little more mass on the head with a Foxy brush; which is why and how we get the movement and action from this gem.

Mr. Black, Mr. Brown. Mr. Green, and Mr. White, meet the Reservoir Dogs!”
