Trout Flies for Every Angler: Dry Flies, Nymphs, and Streamers
Welcome to Murray's Fly Shop—your one-stop destination for high-quality trout flies. Whether you're a seasoned fly angler or just starting out, our extensive collection of trout flies are designed to mimic the most common food sources that trout feed on in freshwater ecosystems. Our flies are expertly tied to provide durable patterns to optimize your time on the water.
Types of Trout Flies Available at Murray's Fly Shop
Our trout flies are categorized into three primary types based on the life stage or food source they are meant to imitate. From surface-dwelling insects to underwater nymphs and larger aquatic prey, we have the perfect fly to match the hatch.
1. Dry Flies: Floating Imitations of Aquatic Adult Insects and Terrestrial Insects
Dry flies are designed to float on the water's surface and mimic adult insects like mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. These flies are perfect for when trout are feeding on insects that have emerged and are resting or struggling on the surface. You’ll also find terrestrials such as ants, beetles, and grasshoppers in this category, which trout often target during the warmer months.
-
Best for: Surface feeding trout
-
Common Patterns: Mayflies, Caddisflies, Terrestrial insects

2. Nymphs: Imitating Underwater Aquatic Insects
Nymphs are designed to imitate the immature or larval stages of aquatic insects that trout feed on beneath the water’s surface. These flies are meant to sink and drift naturally, mimicking the movements of crawling or emerging mayfly nymphs, stonefly nymphs, caddisfly larvae, and midge pupae. Nymph fishing is often effective in both slow-moving and fast-water conditions, as trout will feed on these flies during most of the year.
-
Best for: Subsurface feeding trout
-
Common Patterns: Mayfly nymphs, Caddisfly larvae, Stonefly nymphs

3. Streamers: Imitating Baitfish and Aquatic Creatures
Streamers are larger, more substantial flies that imitate baitfish, leeches, and other small aquatic creatures that trout hunt for in the wild. Streamers are particularly useful when fishing for larger trout, as they often target bigger meals like small fish, crayfish, and leeches. These flies are typically fished deeper in the water column, allowing you to target trout that are actively hunting for larger prey.
-
Best for: Aggressive trout feeding on larger prey
-
Common Patterns: Baitfish, Leeches, Crawfish
