We were approached by Chuck Kraft’s son to work with him to produce Chuck’s flies. We were thrilled to accept this opportunity. Chuck Kraft was a skilled fly designer and fly fishing guide, and he had a huge influence on the sport. Lefty Kreh, Bob Clouser and Flip Pallot described Chuck Kraft as the best Smallmouth guide in the country—and they’d know, because Chuck guided them many times. Truly, he was a pioneer of his craft.
It’s not every day that a true innovator comes into the world of fly fishing and fly tying. Without question, Chuck Kraft was one. We’re grateful for his family for continuing his legacy by giving us permission to produce his flies. We hope they treat you well on the water.
