Fly Fishing with Phil Rowley

Hello, my name is Phil Rowley. Welcome to my Phil Rowley Fly Fishing website. Here you will find fly fishing tips, strategies and tactics. We'll look at entomology and fly tying, tell you about upcoming events, and many other points of interest. Please visit my online store for unique products and flies. If you are interested in expanding your fly-fishing knowledge, particularly stillwaters, consider booking a day of instructional guiding. Perhaps your local club or organization would be interested in an evening or weekend seminar. My goal is to pass along my experience and knowledge to you.

MEET 'THE BUGS'

An understanding of the habits and life cycles of the aquatic life that makes up the stillwater food chain is critical to successfully tying and presenting flies that result it aggressive takes and exciting fly fishing action. We'll look at all the common insect groups that trout like to feed on.
