OUR HERITAGE
From Trout Water to Your Fly Box
Every great trout fly starts with time on the water. Our story began on quiet streams where matching the hatch mattered, drifts had to be natural, and the only measure of success was a confident rise to the fly.
Road Side Fishing was built by anglers who tie and fish their own patterns. We know the difference between a fly that looks good and a fly that holds up through repeated takes. Our focus is simple: trout fishing flies and tying essentials that perform, without the hype.
Today, we serve a community of trout anglers who value consistency—patterns tied right, materials that last, and clear guidance when you're choosing flies for new water. Whether you're building your first trout fly box or refining your go-to selection, we're here to help.
OUR JOURNEY
The Beginning
A Trout-Focused Start
It started on small rivers and clear streams, learning how trout feed and what they refuse. Those early days were spent studying hatches, refining presentations, and tying flies that drift naturally and hold up fish after fish.
Growing Together
Patterns Shared & Proven
As our trout patterns started producing consistent takes, anglers asked for the same flies in their own boxes. What began as a few shared ties turned into a small network of trout anglers focused on dependable patterns and honest advice.
Going Online
Road Side Fishing Launches
To serve more trout anglers, Road Side Fishing launched online with one goal: make reliable trout fishing flies and fly-tying essentials easy to find. Simple ordering, clear information, and flies that fish as good as they look.
Today
Continuing the Journey
We've grown from a small passion project into a trusted source for trout fly patterns. Our values remain unchanged: consistent tying quality, trout-ready materials, and service that's as dependable as the flies we ship.
Built on Trust
Throughout our journey, one thing has stayed constant: we only stand behind trout flies we'd fish ourselves. Our patterns are shaped by real days on trout water—where durability, balance, and a natural drift matter more than marketing.
When you shop with us, you're part of a community that shares one goal: better trout days. From hatch-driven dry flies to confidence nymphs and streamers, we aim to help you build a fly box that makes sense for your water.
