Stonefly Dead Drift Tee

$28.00

Stoneflies are the perfect trout meal. With a two year life cycle, both juveniles and adults are always available for trout snacking. And big trout are a little more willing to move for a bigger lunch (sometimes). Eat more stones. And get a good dead drift.

This t-shirt features the Troutbitten Stonefly on the back and the Classic Logo up front.

This is the End

The fisher awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He chose the rod from a gallery of graphite and cork, and he walked into the forest. Down a narrow hall canopied by hemlock boughs and sycamores, he moved through thick, hazy darkness -- miles toward the island, with...

All the Things

There’s the fly box with a broken hinge. Half of the pin on the backside is missing, and I don’t know how that happened. I do know I’ll be standing in fast water someday; I’ll unfold the box, and the open leaf will fall off. I won’t even have a chance for a proper...
