The Study RSS

A kid from Ohio gets humbled by saltwater fly fishing.

20 degrees, 8 hours, no fish. A hard day on the water with veteran guide and innovative fly tyer, Tommy Lynch, leads to a deeper understanding of why we fish.

Finding a moment of solace on the river during this time of the year is a rarity. Luckily, our shop is a 30-second walk from the river. Making videos like this is one of my favorite aspects of my job. Ethan ties a fly, fishes it, and I film it. Spur of the moment, casual. It's my preferred way to make content and most of the time it creates an interesting result.    

In this new Film from the Shop, Ethan and Joe teamed up to make a custom Poling Platform for a Big Shoals Raft. 

The SmithFly team recently took a trip up north to find some Steelhead. In this Film from the Field, Chris Omer of Manistee River Fishing Charters explains how he uses the Big Shoals Raft to access water no one else can, and land more fish.
