Proven Flies for freshwater predators
Developed on Great Lakes waters. Built for wherever you fish.
I’m a fly tyer, designer, and outdoor writer focused on freshwater fisheries.
My work has been featured in Fly Fisherman, The Drake, Flylords, and American Fly Fishing, along with content for brands like Ahrex, Fulling Mill, and Cheeky Fishing.

The Jackhammer is an articulated jig fly that excels in moving water. It punches through current, gets in the zone quick, and swims aggressively, triggering strikes from a wide array of predatory freshwater species.
Tied with Ahrex TP610 hooks in sizes 2 or 1 behind shanks fitted with tungsten beads, it combines all the benefits of modern articulated streamers in a simple, single-hook package.
Size 1 is paired with a 35mm shank and 5.5mm tungsten bead
Size 2 is paired with a 25mm shank and 4.6mm tungsten bead
