I suppose the title of this page should be “about me”. Black Iron Flies is a one-person operation. Unlike many fly-tying companies, the flies on this site are not tied in a factory focused on volume. They are hand-tied locally in British Columbia, Canada. I have been tying flies for over 35 years, and have been supplying fly fishers, lodges, shops and guides commercially since 2014. While I specialize in stillwater (lakes) flies, many of the flies are effective for rivers and ice fishing.
As a fly fisher, I am committed to supplying premium flies tied with high-quality materials sourced carefully from many suppliers. The fly patterns listed on the site are chosen carefully for their popularity and effectiveness. Many are patterns designed by me. I can also tie custom patterns on request (depending on material availability and volume of orders).
All flies are tied to order. This way, I can remain flexible to supply you with the flies you need. Please be aware that it will take time to tie because your flies are all tied by hand to your order specifications. I will make every effort to have the order done and shipped as quickly as possible
