Only HLS / TFC provides you the opportunity to field test your fly designs prior to fishing them with our custom made HLS / TFC Swim Tank – Fly Tester.
There is no charge for this service and it is simply amazing how seasoned anglers / tyers have already started tweaking their flies to enhance/optimize desired performance.
There is no doubt that most flies catch fish, but you can see first hand that simple things, such as:
How modifying hook size and gauge will help you to understand and appreciate that your fly will track differently than you expected.
How the hydrodynamics of a fly changes due to a cone head and how much more sparse you can tie a fly due to the cone’s flare.
